1. Los Angeles Rams 5-0 (last week: 1)
The defense struggled in Seattle, and the offense lost both Brandin Cooks and Cooper Kupp to concussions, but Todd Gurley was there to play the closer role again in a big away. He’s a pretty good ace in the hole to have.

1 - Kansas City Chiefs (Last Week: 1) - Andy Reid’s team continues to look unstoppable.
2 - Los Angeles Rams (LW: 2) - Los Angeles looked the most vulnerable they have all season. But they still won by two points in Seattle anyway.

“Jared Goff is not a system quarterback.”
I know the narrative died down a little bit after the Vikings game, but in case you still happen to believe it, it’s just not true. He has a great arm and he’s incredibly accurate. While the offensive scheme is amazing the Rams still need someone to make all of the amazing throws that Goff can.

1. Los Angeles Rams (5-0)
Over the first month of the season, the Los Angeles Rams hadn't been tested. They also hadn't played a game outside the state of California.
In Week 5 both happened—and the Rams passed the test.
This isn't to say there's no room for concern after the Rams eked out a two-point win in Seattle. The Rams were gashed on the ground for an eye-popping 190 yards by the Seahawks and were minus-two in turnovers.
But the L.A. offense was nigh unstoppable yet again, racking up 468 yards of total offense and topping 30 points for the fifth time in as many games.
Not every game will be a cakewalk—even for a team as talented as the Rams. Seattle is arguably the hardest road environment in the NFL. And the Rams took the best the Seahawks had to give and still got out of there with a win.
With a pair of less-than-stellar opponents, the Rams have a great shot at heading into a Week 8 home date with the Packers with a chance for a perfect first half.

1. Rams (5-0) — Can they break Denver's 2013 record of 13 30-point games? (5-for-5 so far.)

3. Los Angeles Rams (5-0) - Previously: 4.
Overrated NFL Team.
The Rams looked unstoppable against the Vikings on a recent Thursday night. But be wary of teams that appear that way on national TV. They can often disappoint afterward because they're way overvalued. Remember the Eagles from numerous years ago with their controversial quarterback when they couldn't be stopped against the Redskins? That's what the Rams' win over Minnesota felt like.
The Rams have beaten five teams that are a combined 9-15-1. Because looking at numbers is lazy, let's analyze the wins:
- Rams beat the Raiders after trailing at halftime. Oakland's only win thus far came via horrible officiating versus a rookie quarterback making his first start.
- Rams shut out the Cardinals, who were nearly blanked at home the week before versus the Redskins.
- Rams beat the Chargers by 12. The same Chargers who nearly lost to C.J. Beathard.
- Rams defeated the Vikings by seven. Minnesota tied the Packers and a hobbled Aaron Rodgers and then was blown out by Buffalo. Plus, some poor officiating buried the Vikings.
- Rams snuck out a win against a pedestrian Seattle team, as Los Angeles couldn't stop the run.
I understand that the Rams seem unstoppable, but that's precisely what makes them overrated.
