Preamble
Hello and hi there soccer followers, week seven of N-F-L is upon us and has introduced with it that rarest of treats: a sport between two groups (two!) with profitable information in London!

Be careful for head coach, Sean McVay, digging into his field of methods to throw the Jaguars a number of completely different seems because the Rams intention to interrupt the 30-point mark for the primary time this season (second when you depend the Titans).
On protection LA are way more strong and haven’t allowed groups to attain a single landing twice this season.

The sport might be received and misplaced with how effectively Jacksonville defend their quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Or they might try to get the working sport going once more to nullify the strain on him after struggling in opposition to the Seahawks. Jags followers will hope the Lawrence who took down the Chiefs exhibits up in the present day.
