The Los Angeles Rams enter 2026 with something unfamiliar surrounding them: expectations. Disgusting.

Recorded in person during Circa Contest Weekend in Las Vegas, Smalls sits down with Anand Nanduri (@NanduriNFL), who has written for the NFL, BetMGM and PrizePicks, to figure out whether the Rams are actually the best team in football or merely one Matthew Stafford body part away from disaster.

Anand likes the roster. A lot. He also points out that basically every Rams conversation eventually becomes, “Okay, but what if somebody important gets hurt?” Stafford’s health remains the giant flashing casino sign hanging over the season.

Fantasy football gets equally spicy. While everyone chases Blake Corum upside, Anand prefers the boring, productive reliability of Kyren Williams. Sometimes fantasy players see a shiny new running back and immediately forget the other guy keeps scoring touchdowns.

They also tackle Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, Rams tight ends, Stafford interception bets and the possibility of Aaron Donald returning for another run.

Finally, Anand predicts 12 wins and a Super Bowl championship.

Smalls predicts eight wins and no Super Bowl.

One of them left Vegas emotionally prepared for the season. The other is a Rams fan.
