The Los Angeles Rams have won three straight games. They're now 6-6 on the season and right back in the NFC Playoff Picture.
However, they've got a difficult matchup on the road this weekend, facing the 9-3 Baltimore Ravens, who are coming off a bye week.
The Ravens have won four of their last five games and look like the best team in the AFC.
Will the Rams continue their hot stretch and escape the Ravens on Sunday?

Rams vs. Ravens Prediction
The Los Angeles Rams have scored at least 36 points in back-to-back games.
They added 37 against the Cardinals on the road and 36 points against the Browns at home.
That's led to three straight victories for the Rams and has pushed them right back into the playoff hunt.
The Rams have had a lot of injuries around their key players throughout the season. Matthew Stafford, Kyren Williams, Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua, and Tyler Higbee have all been significantly injured this season.
Yet, this team continues to fight.
The Rams have scored a differential of 1.25 points per game this season. They've also added more passing yards and earned more rushing yards than their opponents this season.
However, it's unlikely that the Rams beat the Ravens in rushing yards this week. The Ravens have earned nearly 159 yards on the ground per game this season behind Lamar Jackson, Gus Edwards, Justice Hill, and Keaton Mitchell.
The Ravens have a reliable group of runners. However, Baltimore has only earned 207.5 yards in the air per game.
The Ravens struggled offensively against the Chargers a couple of weeks ago. They only scored 20 points despite typically earning 27 points per game. However, before that matchup, the Ravens had added at least 31 points in their previous four games.
The offense should have no problems trying to score against the Rams' secondary. Meanwhile, Los Angeles has also missed countless tackles on the defensive end this year.
On the other hand, the Ravens are much more disciplined defensively. Teams have added only 171.67 yards in the air and another 102.25 yards on the ground. The secondary is elite, and the pass rush is usually very effective.
The Ravens will also miss some tackles here and there. But they don't miss them at the rate that the Rams do.
While the Rams played the Browns, the Ravens got time to recover from a long 13 weeks. I expect Baltimore to be rejuvenated in this one.
Give me the Ravens at -7.
