PITTSBURGH, PA - The Los Angeles Rams played in the Super Bowl in February. They are well-rested coming off of a bye week. Rams coach Sean McVay has sported a perfect 10-0 record against AFC teams during the regular season in his young coaching career.

So it's little wonder that the Rams are favorites in their game Sunday against the Steelers, despite having to travel across the country to play in Pittsburgh.

The Steelers are riding a three-game win streak thanks largely to Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinateri, who missed a critical field goal attempt late in last week's game. Starting running back James Conner will miss a second straight game with a shoulder injury. Quarterback Mason Rudolph has yet to show that he can consistently make throws of more than 10 yards.
