The AFC looks a lot like most expected in 2024. The Kansas City Chiefs are cruising ahead in the AFC West with an undefeated record, the Houston Texans took a step forward after a breakout 2023, and the Baltimore Ravens overcame early stumbles to get back on top in the AFC North. But the NFC has been flipped upside down … mostly.

Only one of the 10 outlets below has the Rams ranked in the top 20, with two sites putting Sean McVay’s squad as low as 27th. Having Matthew Stafford and eventually Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua could keep the Rams alive but as of now, it’s looking like Los Angeles will be closer to a top-10 pick than a playoff berth.
