3. Los Angeles Rams

The Los Angeles Rams have a daunting task ahead of them, as they must defeat the Seattle Seahawks and potentially do it without starting quarterback Jared Goff.

If they do survive the Wild Card Round, the Rams’ defense would present a tough challenge for the Packers. Los Angeles’ has had one of the stingiest defenses in the NFL this year and are capable of making the Packers work for every yard. Of course, there is also the gigantic Aaron Donald issue the offensive line would have to address.

Green Bay would have an easier time on the other side of the ball, as the Rams’ offense has sputtered this year. However, there’s no saying what their head coach Sean McVay will put out of his sleeve in this huge matchup.
