2018 Los Angeles Rams Schedule: Full Listing of Dates, Times and TV Info

After breaking out with an 11-5 record in 2017, the Los Angeles Rams are seemingly going all in for 2018.

The team already had quality young pieces to build a contender, including quarterback Jared Goff, running back Todd Gurley and defensive tackle Aaron Donald. However, the organization spent the offseason adding game-changing players on both sides of the ball, including Marcus Peters, Brandin Cooks, Ndamukong Suh and Aqib Talib.

This could allow the team to succeed despite a tough list of opponents for next season. Here is a look at the Rams' complete schedule for 2018, per the team's official site.

Analysis

Kelvin Kuo/Associated Press

As talented as the Rams are, the 2018 season will not be an easy one.

The division could be challenging with the always-tough Seattle Seahawks and the up-and-coming San Francisco 49ers. The Arizona Cardinals are often overlooked, but they will return David Johnson to a squad that went 8-8 last season.

Meanwhile, the first-place schedule makes things even tougher in 2018.

Per ESPN, the Rams' opponents had a .523 winning percentage in 2017, which ties for fifth-highest in the NFL.

The team's success or failure could come down to the play of Goff, who was outstanding last season after struggling during his rookie year. He threw 28 touchdowns with just seven interceptions and now has even more talent around him, but he will need to show that last season wasn't a fluke.

If he lives up to expectations, the Rams could be a tough team to beat.

Pivotal Matchups

The Rams expect to be legitimate contenders for the Super Bowl this season, with OddsShark listing them at 8-1 to win it all. Only the New England Patriots are considered more likely to take home a title.

However, the squad will still have to prove it on the field, and it will get that chance against some of the top contenders in the NFC.

Los Angeles will take on the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles in Week 15 in one of the biggest matchups of the NFL season. It doesn't matter whether Nick Foles or Carson Wentz is under center, the Eagles are loaded with talent all over the field and only got stronger with the additions of Michael Bennett, Haloti Ngata and more.

Winning this game could go a long way toward proving themselves as realistic contenders.

With the New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings also on the schedule, the Rams will know exactly where they stand well before the postseason.
