The Los Angeles Rams' Week 17 match against the Atlanta Falcons is more interesting than it appears.
Not only does this game weigh heavily on the Rams' 2025 playoff seeding, but it will also affect one of the team's first-round draft picks in 2026. L.A. owns Atlanta's pick from the 2025 draft day trade, and a win by the Rams over the Falcons will make the pick even more valuable. Meanwhile, a win will also help the Rams' chances of winning the NFC West and earning a higher seen in the NFC playoffs, so long as other top NFC teams also lose.
Experts heavily agree that the Rams should win this game. All but three picked Atlanta to win over L.A. The Falcons are playing for pride at this point, but it's not like a win or a loss will change where they pick in the first round anyway.
Here are the top expert picks for the Rams' Week 17 matchup with the Falcons.
