The NFL has released its 2019 regular-season schedule. Here’s a look at what’s in store for the Los Angeles Rams. Game-by-game predictions: Rams reporter Lindsey Thiry predicts a 12-4 season. Sept. 8: at Carolina, Win Sept. 15: vs. New Orleans, Win Sept. 22: at Cleveland, Loss Sept. 29: vs. Buccaneers, Win Oct. 3: at Seattle, Loss Oct. 13: vs. San Francisco, Win Oct. 20: at Atlanta, Win Oct. 27: vs. Cincinnati, Win Nov. 10: at Pittsburgh, Loss Nov. 17: vs. Chicago, Win Nov. 25: vs. Baltimore, Win Dec. 1: at Arizona, Win Dec. 8: vs. Seattle, Win Dec. 15: at Dallas, Loss Dec. 21 or 22: at San Francisco, Win Dec. 29: vs. Arizona, Win Strength of schedule: T-27, .423 Breakdown The defending NFC champions, who swept their division last season, will play a first-place schedule and also take on teams from the NFC South in 2019. The Rams start with a tough five-game stretch that includes opening on the East Coast for the first time since 2012 as they take on the Panthers. The Rams will spend nearly a month on the road with a three-game span that includes games in Atlanta, London (against the Bengals), followed with a bye week and then Pittsburgh. When they return home, they will be met with a gauntlet that includes the defending NFC North champion Bears and defending AFC North champion Ravens, a trip to AT&T Stadium to play the reigning NFC East champion Cowboys, and four division contests. 2019 regular-season NFL schedule Are you ready for Packers at Bears to kick off the NFL season?

In Week 3, they will get a rowdy crowd in Cleveland against Baker Mayfield and Odell Beckham Jr., who the Rams were once rumored to have interest in. In Week 5, they must play a Thursday night game against Russell Wilson, the highest-paid player in the NFL, at CenturyLink Field in Seattle. In Week 11 and 12, the Rams will play under the L.A. Memorial Coliseum lights against the Bears and Ravens, on Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football, respectively. Then they get another prime-time matchup against the Seahawks on Sunday Night Football in Week 14. Last season, the Rams finished 3-2 in prime time. Bonding time The Rams will log more than 16,500 miles in a span of four weeks when they play the Falcons in Atlanta, where they will likely stay for a week following the game before flying to London to face former assistant Zac Taylor, now the head coach of the Bengals. The Rams will return to L.A. for a bye, only to fly again to the Eastern time zone to play the Steelers. The four-week span is reminiscent of a stretch in 2017, when the Rams played at Jacksonville, then continued on to London before they returned home for a bye week, after which they flew to New York to face the Giants. The Rams went 3-0 in that stretch, and several coaches and players credited the seemingly monthlong journey, which included a weeklong stay at a resort in Ponte Vedra, Florida, before flying to London, for building team camaraderie that helped carry them to their first division title since 2003.<doc-sep>UPDATE: View the Rams’ full schedule here. The NFL is releasing the full 2019 regular-season schedule at 8 p.m. ET tonight, unveiling when all 256 games will be played. We already know who every team will play next season, which is determined by the league’s scheduling rotation, but we don’t yet know when each game will take place. The Rams announced on Wednesday that they will play the Bengals in London on Oct. 27, Week 8 of the 2019 season. We also learned the Rams’ first three games of the season, as well as when they’ll face the Bears. As always, parts of teams’ schedules leak ahead of the official release in primetime, and we’ll be tracking all of them here for the Rams. As a reminder, here’s who the Rams will face in 2019. They’ll take on the AFC North and the first-place teams from the NFC North and NFC East from last season, which are the Bears and Cowboys, respectively.

While we wait for the schedules to drop, take a look at who the Los Angeles Rams will face in 2019. Since Sean McVay arrived as the team’s head coach in 2017, he has built the Los Angeles Rams into a legitimate contender. They have become a heavyweight out of the NFC West after back-to-back double-digit win seasons, two playoff berths and one Super Bowl appearance. Of course, McVay and his boy genius, trendsetting offense fell short in the league’s biggest game. 2018 was a strange year in sunny Los Angeles. Out of the gate, and for a large chunk of the campaign, the Rams appeared to be a fully loaded Ford F-150. A big bully taking down every team in their path. The driver of that truck was Jared Goff. He exemplified the team’s 2018 season the most. Meaning, he and the team looked to be unstoppable early on, but the demons in the closet crept out as the games got bigger. Last season, the Rams had an overall record of 13-3. The team went 7-1 at home, 6-2 on the road, 6-0 in division and 9-3 against conference opponents. So, who will they face in 2019?

In-division will be much harder this upcoming season. Why? The Seahawks will again be competitive, and we know how hard it is to win in their building. The Cardinals may have a new quarterback to pair with their first-year head coach in Kliff Kingsbury, so the face-lift may make the overall play prettier as well. San Francisco probably has the most potential to pressure the Rams, as they once again added this offseason and they could have a fully-healthy Jimmy Garoppolo back by kickoff. Out of division, the Rams will play in a re-match of that excessively controversial NFC Championship game against the Saints, and they will also travel to take on the upstart Browns, the ‘who knows’ Falcons and the defensive-dominant Cowboys. The Rams lost to the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl. McVay was out schemed by the legendary Bill Belichick, and Goff looked like the bust-potential gunslinger that Jeff Fisher nearly ruined. However, the Rams will hit the drawing board and look to bounce back with another Super Bowl chase in 2019. Lamarcus Joyner and Rodger Saffold may be gone, but the team has added the likes of Eric Weddle and Clay Matthews.<doc-sep>
The Los Angeles Rams will begin their march toward another Super Bowl appearance in less than five months and on Wednesday night, we learned exactly when they’ll play each of their 13 opponents. The NFL released the full 2019 regular-season schedule, including five prime-time games for the Rams. They kick off their season on Sept. 8 against the Carolina Panthers, followed by an NFC championship rematch against the Saints in Week 2. As usual, the Rams will close out against a division rival, this time taking on the Cardinals in Week 17.

The mid-season bye is about as good as it gets, preventing them from having to go 11 straight weeks without a break as they did last season. The Rams caught a break with only one set of back-to-back road games, coming in Week 15 and 16 on the road against Dallas and San Francisco.
