The Los Angeles Rams come to London with a 4-3 record and looking to recapture the swagger that led them to a Super Bowl last season. In Week 7 against the Atlanta Falcons, the Rams looked again like the Rams, winning 37-10.

Los Angeles isn’t complicated to figure out. If running back Todd Gurley is healthy, the Rams are a tough team to beat. If a team can take him out of the game plan, or more specifically if his chronic knee issues limit him, opposing teams have a good chance of winning.

Gurley looks to be a full go on Sunday. Meaning if he’s clicking on all cylinders, so are the Rams. It also means that quarterback Jared Goff will have opportunities to take some shots, especially downfield to perhaps the best group of receivers in the NFL.

Week 7 at Atlanta might signal that the Rams are about to take off again. Sitting in third place in the NFC West is a position they will look to move out off. Winning in London would be a second straight win after losing three in a row.

Head coach Sean McVay will look to deal his former assistant an eighth straight loss. Unless Cincinnati can find a way to slow down the Rams offense, 0-8 is a real possibility.
