Rams vs. Jets Prediction
I’m on the Rams here. I think the Jets getting the win over the Jaguars was nice to save some face, but in the end, the Rams have the world to play for here, as they’re fighting for the division and are the much hotter of the two teams in this matchup. New York should just focus on the draft position and I think we start to see the process take effect here. Give me the Rams.
