    Sports’ analyst Jason La Canfora is picking the Rams to lose...for the 11th time
    in 13 weeksMatthew Emmons-USA TODAY SportsIn theory, picking the weekly winners
    of NFL games should be a pretty simple task. Whether it’s home field advantage,
    a team being marred by injuries, having a superstar player that just can’t be
    stopped, or simply having a more well-rounded football team than the opponent,
    anticipating a weekly check from your buddy’s pick‘em league should be no sweat.
    If only it were that easy. Sometimes the winless Buffalo Bills, having given up
    78 points in the first two games of the season, roll into Minnesota and smack
    the Vikings in the mouth and walk away 27-6 victors. Say goodbye to your
    Survivor pool! But let’s face it, nobody was picking the Bills to win that game.
    And more often than
    not Taylor Rapp white
    jersey
    , you should expect the better team(s) to win. If you’d picked the
    Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers, and Chicago Bears to win every single
    game in 2018, you would’ve only been wrong four times. Not too shabby. If you’d
    pick the Rams or Saints, you would’ve only picked incorrectly thrice. So yeah,
    sometimes you just keep picking the hot teams, and sure, in spots you take a
    tough opponent. Going 16-0 isn’t very likely, after all.But that’s just not CBS
    Sports’ analyst Jason La Canfora’s style. He goes against the grain. He blazes
    the trail. He picks against the Rams鈥 lot. NFL Pickwatch, in the event you
    haven’t visited, compiles weekly picks from NFL experts from various media
    outlets – NFL Network, ESPN, CBS

    , NBC Sports, Pro Football Focus, Bleacher Report, SB
    Nation, and many others. To be fair, JLC predicted the Rams would get off to a
    hot 5-1 start鈥hough he figured the Rams single loss in the first six weeks to
    come at the hands of the Arizona Cardinals, who won less games than any other
    NFL team and will be picking first overall this April. But then something
    happened. Jason started picking against the Rams and it was as if, despite the
    continued success, he couldn’t look back. La Canfora’s Weekly Picks

    RamsLa Canfora PickResultFollowing the Rams 5-1 start, La Canfora picked the
    Rams to lose seven straight. And he’s only picked the Rams TWICE since Week 6 –
    meaning he’s gone 2-10 in that span. Sure, he picked the Rams to beat the Eagles
    and even pegged them over the Cowboys in the divisional round – but that comes
    as a bit of a surprise considering he predicted them to lose to those same 3-13
    Cardinals in Week 16. Whatgives? Did La Canfora genuinely believe – with the
    opportunity to secure a first round bye on the line – that the 4-12 San
    Francisco 49ers, decimated by injury, were going to stop the Rams鈥t home? LA

    , by the way. Does JLC hate the Rams? Or is he just a really
    poor prognosticator?As you can see from the table above, La Canfora is picking
    the Patriots to win the Super Bowl. He’s not alone in that, and it appears as
    though the vast majority of experts (though there are many that have yet to
    submit their picks yet) will be going with the 5-time Super Bowl Champs. No
    biggie. As I said just prior to the Rams taking on the Saints, embrace the
    underdog role. Let them all pick the Patriots. Spend the rest of your week
    listening to them blabber about experience vs. inexperience, or whatever it is
    they’re talking about. Because none of the noise really matters, and the Rams
    are 60 minutes away from possibly hoisting a Lombardi. So lock in that Patriots’
    pick JLC, because it’ll be your last of the 2018-2019 season. Speaking of which,
    congrats on finishing 117th (dead last) among all experts, having gotten 52.3%
    of this season’s picks correct. I suppose that answers the poor prognosticator
    question. Rams running back Todd Gurley has a knee injury, and there’s a chance
    he may not be able to play on Sunday.Gurley has yet to practice this week. Asked
    by reporters on Thursday whether he could play if the game were today, Gurley
    said, “That’s a tough question. I haven’t tried to run. So,
    yeah 2019 Taylor Rapp
    Los Angeles Rams
    , that’s a tough question.”He nevertheless expressed
    optimism, despite the fact that he hasn’t yet tried to run.“I think I’ll be
    fine, man,” Gurley said. “Just taking it day-by-day recovering, resting, trying
    to feel better.”If he plays, it likely will happen without practice; he said he
    doesn’t plan on participating at all this week. He wants to play, obviously;
    however, he seems to recognize the chance that he won’t.“We’ve got a game to
    win,” Gurley said. “I’m pretty sure me being out there — if I can be out there —
    I would put this team in a good position to help them win. So why wouldn’t I be
    out there if I can play? In the situation that we are — we just lost two. We’re
    trying to get a first-round bye. That’s what we’re trying to do. We’re trying to
    win.”Coach Sean McVay has said he won’t risk Gurley’s availability for the
    postseason by playing him in the final two regular-season games, if he’s not
    healthy enough to play. He’s clearly not healthy enough to practice. At this
    point, he’s not even healthy enough to run.
