Ranking NFC teams battling for wild card spots: Rams clearly No. 1; Vikings, 49ers, Eagles in mix

Article Summary:
Rams
Remaining schedule: vs. Seahawks, at Vikings, at Ravens, vs. 49ers
So maybe they can win in big spots? Matthew Stafford looked back to MVP form in prime time against Arizona, and they could still stand to incorporate Sony Michel more.
3. Vikings
Remaining schedule: at Bears, vs. Rams, at Packers, vs. Bears
They are addicted to heartbreak, nearly blowing a huge lead to Pittsburgh on a short week at home. Eagles
Remaining schedule: vs. Washington, vs. Giants, at Washington, vs. Cowboys
They’d be smart to keep Jalen Hurts married to the run game, but if they do just that, they’ve got the O-line to control the clock.
8. Falcons
Remaining schedule: at 49ers, vs. Lions, at Bills, vs. Saints
Their Week 14 win is probably more representative of Carolina’s plunge into darkness, but hey, feeding Cordarrelle Patterson has led to some surprising stretches before.
