With their 28-12 win over the Seahawks on Sunday night in Los Angeles, the Rams improved to 8-5 on the season.
That puts them just a game behind the 9-4 Vikings for the final wild card spot in the NFC.
Per FiveThirtyEight, the Vikings have a 73 percent chance to make the postseason, the Rams have a 36 percent chance and the Bears have a three percent chance. Of course, the NFC North is still a possibility for the Vikings.
The remaining schedule probably favors the Vikings, but it’s close.
Here’s how both teams close out the season:
Vikings: @Chargers, vs. Packers, vs. Bears
Rams: @Cowboys, @49ers, vs. Cardinals
It should make for an interesting final three games for both teams.
Both play in the late afternoon on Sunday in Week 15, so there will be plenty of scoreboard watching for both fanbases.
