As the NFL playoff picture continues to become just a bit clearer with two weeks left in the regular season, Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown revealed the team he believes is the biggest sleeper in the NFC.
During a recent episode of the "St. Brown Podcast" that he hosts with his brother, Equanimeous St. Brown, Amon-Ra asked Equanimeous for his sleeper teams in the NFC, and Equanimeous chose the Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Rams.
Amon-Ra was in full agreement on the Rams, who aren't in the playoffs just yet but control their own destiny for the NFC West entering Week 17 but have the Seattle Seahawks on their heels.
St. Brown stopped just short of saying he doesn't want to see the Rams in a playoff game, but his reaction said it all. Here's the exchange between the St. Brown brothers on their sleeper picks in the NFC.
Amon-Ra: "Who's one sleeper team, you think, in the NFC? Like, you don't want to play them."
Equanimeous: "Rams, Packers."
Amon-Ra: "On me. Like, I do not... The Rams, bro?"
Equanimeous: "Rams and Packers, you do not wanna play those guys, bro. You do not want to play those guys."

The Rams and Lions will forever be linked due to their blockbuster trade in 2021 that sent quarterback Matthew Stafford to Los Angeles and Jared Goff to Detroit. Safe to say, that trade has paid dividends for both teams.
While the Rams have won a Super Bowl with Stafford at the helm, Detroit has gotten the better of Los Angeles in three meetings (including playoffs) since the trade, with the Lions sporting a 2-1 mark against the Rams.
Stafford and the Rams won the first meeting between the two teams in 2021, but the Lions have won each of the last two matchups by a combined seven points, with one of those victories coming in the 2023 playoffs.
The Rams have exceeded expectations this season and have been one of the hottest teams in the NFL lately, winning five of their last six games. And, Los Angeles is an impressive 8-2 since starting 1-4.
With Los Angeles playing well of late, and with their having a top-notch signal-caller and one of the best head coaches in the NFL, they are most certainly a dangerous team, assuming they can seal the deal and make the playoffs.
