The 2024 Los Angeles Rams have a golden opportunity to show their relevance and mettle on Sunday night when they host the Philadelphia Eagles at SoFi Stadium. After rebounding from a loss with a win for the second time this season the 5-5 Rams are only one game behind the NFC West-leading Arizona Cardinals with seven games remaining in the regular season. Quarterback Matthew Stafford threw four touchdown passes while the defense snuffed out a potential game-winning drive against the New England...

The Culver City high school boys' varsity football team won their opening game in the CIF Division 4 playoffs last Friday night, beating Capistrano Valley 38-25 in a hard-fought high school playoff game at Capistrano Valley. Next up for the Centaurs is the quarter-final match against Apple Valley on the road at 7 p.m. "It was a back-and-forth game," said Culver City head football coach Jahmal Wright. "We just kept fighting. Our team did not want to go home with a loss. Capistrano Valley is a...
Three steps forward, one Prime Time slip backward. A very disappointing 23-15 loss to the visiting Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football placed the Los Angeles Rams behind the eight ball for the second time this season. With four wins and five losses midway through the regular season the Rams likely need to win six of their last eight games to have a realistic chance to make the playoffs. For the eighth time during head coach Sean McVay's reign the Rams failed to score a touchdown. The only...
1.Kansas City Chiefs (9-0): The Chiefs just keep finding ways to overcome deficits and the odds to win games. On Sunday, the Broncos were lining up for a good winning 35-yard field goal with one second remaining in the game, trailing 16-14. Linebacker Leo Chenal blocked the field goal attempt to preserve the lead and the victory for the Chiefs. It was the 15th consecutive victory for the Chiefs.

After almost a year of practicing, lifting weights and playing spring, summer and fall games it all comes down to two games to determine if the Centaurs have a chance to make the 2024 CIF playoffs. Culver City battles first place Inglewood on Friday night at 7 p.m. at Culver City and Mira Costa travels to Palos Verdes at 3 p.m. on Friday. It's simple and complicated at the same time. If the Centaurs win or lose and if Mira Costa beats Palos Verdes, the Culver City has an excellent chance to...
1. Kansas City Chiefs (7-0): Tight end Travis Kelce came alive in the Chiefs 27-20 win over the Raiders in Las Vegas.

Next: -8.5 vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Mon, Nov. 4, 5:15 PM PT – O/U: 45.5 (ATS: 5-2 – O/U: 3-4) Win probability: 78.4% 2. Detroit Lions (6-1): The Lions had a net 61 yards passing and were held to 225 yards in total offense, but somehow def...
During a season some teams play games that can make or break their season. One game that they play can determine league standings or making the playoffs. In the case of the Culver City varsity boys football team both scenarios apply to the Centaurs when they travel to Lawndale to face the Cardinals on Friday night, at 7 p.m. in this Bay league contest. The Bay league is one of the best and most competitive football leagues in Southern California. Inglewood is in first place with a league record...
As The World Turns. The Los Angeles Rams are preparing to host the Minnesota Vikings for Thursday Night Football at SoFi Stadium. A sudden swirl of rumors and reports that the Rams are seeking to trade All-Pro wide receiver Cooper Kupp followed the team's much-needed home victory over the Las Vegas this past Sunday. The news is an unexpected shock for the Rams faithful who immediately embraced Kupp when he was drafted in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft. Reportedly, the Rams are asking for...
1.Kansas City Chiefs (6-0): The Chiefs are the only unbeaten team in the NFL after defeating the 49ers on the road, but that still was not good enough. The Chiefs then went out and traded for wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to give the offense more offensive fire power. The Titans get a fifth-round pick that elevates to a fourth rounder if KC makes the Super Bowl and Hopkins plays 60% of the snaps. What a steal. Next: -9.5 at Las Vegas Raiders - Sun, Oct. 27, 1:25 PM PT – O/U: 41 (ATS: 5-1 – O/U...
When the CIF Southern Section office reconfigured the football leagues in the South Bay and the Westside Culver City high school knew right away, they were put in one of the toughest leagues in the CIF Southern Section. The reality is 7-0 Inglewood, 6-1 Culver City, 5-2 Leuzinger, 5-2 Mira Costa and 3-4 Palos Verdes are all very good football teams that can win games on any given Friday night. "We already knew before the season started how tough the league would be," said Culver City head boys...
1. Kansas City Chiefs (5-0): The Chiefs are coming off a bye in Week 6 and get a rematch of last season's Super Bowl with the 49ers in Santa Clara. This should be a real test for the Chiefs. The 49ers and their fans will be sky high for this game. Next: +1.5 at San Francisco 49ers - Sun, Oct. 20, 1:25 PM PT – O/U: 47 (ATS: 2-3 – O/U: 3-2) 2. Minnesota Vikings (5-0): The Viking are coming off a bye in Week 6 and will return to take on the Detroit Lions in Minnesota. The Vikings acquired run...
Three games in the next few weeks have become key to the Rams 2024 season. Despite starting the season with one win in five games the future offers hope following Bye Week for the Los Angeles Rams. They host two games respectively at SoFi Stadium: Sunday, October 20, against the Las Vegas Raiders, and Thursday, October 24 they face the Minnesota Vikings before hitting the road in week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks. The Rams (1-4) gained ground while resting in Week 6 against the rest of the NFC...
1. Kansas City Chiefs (5-0): The train keeps a rolling for the Chiefs. After their Monday night win over the Saints, the Chiefs are 5-0 despite losing running back Isiah Pacheco and wide receiver Rashee Rice to injuries. The Chiefs are winning despite the struggles of quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who has thrown 6 touchdown passes and 6 interceptions in five games. Next: - Bye – Following week: N/A at San Francisco 49ers - Sun, Oct. 20, 1:25 PM PT – O/U: N/A (ATS: 2-3 – O/U: 3-2) 2. Minne...
Bye Week couldn't have come at a better time for the 2024 Los Angeles Rams. Usually, it's preferable to have the break towards the latter part of the season schedule. But this season the team has only one win in five games, the worst start since Sean McVay became head coach in 2017. "This one hurts because there were a lot of opportunities that we had," said McVay following a 24-19 loss in Week 5 to the visiting Green Bay Packers at SoFi Stadium last Sunday. "What we have to do is use this bye...
It will probably be cold and fogging in the South Bay on Friday night when Culver City high school's boys' varsity football team rolls into Manhattan Beach to play Mira Costa at 7 p.m. The Centaurs and the Mustangs have battled each other dating back to the 1990's and like most of the Bay league games the intensity level is very high. The Centaurs come into the game with a perfect overall record of 6-0 and a 1-0 Bay league record. The Mustangs are 4-2 overall and 1-0 in the Bay league. This...
Football kickers and football offensive linemen have a lot in common. As a kicker if you miss a point after a touchdown, have a punt go off the side of your foot, have a bad kickoff or if you miss a field goal, the big spotlight is on you. As a lineman if you miss a block or if you are called for a penalty it feels like the whole world is watching. Football is a team sport but both positions are magnified when you make a mistake. Kicking may be a little more difficult because it takes at least...
1. Kansas City Chiefs (4-0): The Chiefs are 4-0 and quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been average this season and the Chiefs are still undefeated. That should scare everyone. Mahomes is the No. 18 rated passer in the NFL this season, with six touchdown passes and five interceptions. Next: -5.5 vs New Orleans Saints - Mon, Oct. 7, 5:15 PM PT – O/U: 43 (ATS: 3-1 – O/U: 2-2) 2. Minnesota Vikings (4-0): Former USC quarterback Sam Darnold had another good game, throwing for 275 yards and three tou...
Road warriors no more. The Los Angeles Rams lost for the third time in four games to begin the 2024 season. Every single loss has been on the road. The latest, a game they gave away to the Bears, 24-18, at Soldier Field in Chicago, was primarily the result of not capitalizing in the Red Zone on their offensive drives in the first half. The Rams started with a very robust 7-1 road record when Sean McVay took over as head coach of the Rams in 2017. They improved to 28-13 (.682) as the visiting...
Coaches and players say a good defense wins championships. Culver City high school boys football teams have had outstanding offensive players for many years, but this year feels a little different. They still have great offensive talent, but the defense must also play great if the Centaurs expect to win the newly constructed Bay league. Last week and against Narbonne a few weeks ago were good examples of what the Culver City defense must do to stay in contention for a CIF playoff spot. Last...
Against all odds in a hostile sea of red. Clearly it was one of the Rams' most satisfying regular season wins since the team returned to Los Angeles in 2016. And for a season home opener, it rivals Sean McVay's smashing debut victory as the Rams head coach in 2017. Sunday's unlikely 27-24 comeback thriller over the archrival 49ers at SoFi Stadium was significant on multiple levels. "It took all phases. It really did," said quarterback Matthew Stafford, whose leadership was the catalyst that prom...
