This year's big shocker, I predict, will be the Rams missing the playoffs.
Super Bowl Hangover + Chaos Monkey = no playoffs.

Missing the reference. What's the Chaos Monkey?
It could certainly happen and I, of course, am biased, but short of some major injury issues (conceivable) I don't see it happening.
The offense should be better. Goff a year better, Cooks-Woods-Kupp all back and healthy, Gurley may have the knee drama but they addressed that by drafting Henderson. And McVay is like a mad genius. The line has one major hole to fill, as they lost Saffold, but replacing Sullivan at C is a step up (he was not good).
On D, they lost major players on all three levels in Suh, Barron and Joyner, but they still have All-Universe Donald, Fowler, Brockers, Littleon, Peters, Talib and Johnson, and they added Weddle and Matthews as solid vet depth. That is still a really good D, with a very strong DC in Phillips.
We'll see, but I see them as plenty capable of not only getting back to the playoffs but back to the Super Bowl again.
