So far, you are 1-2 with your predictions - I'm hoping that trend continues and you go 1-3 :)

Can't wait to see how our oline does against one of the best defensive lines in the NFL.

I don't have a great feeling about this one. It's possible that the first team to double-digits wins this.

+1.

At least you have it as a competitive game. I think the Cardinals are going to get smoked, it is going to be like a flashback to last week against the Bills.

Our offensive line will get whipped by a superior defensive line, and our defense will get run over.

We will see, but it is not looking good on paper.

I expect a double digit win this week in the toaster. The Rams hadn't scored a TD until last week and last week I fully believe we slept walked into Buffalo thinking we were gonna roll them. Now with the record, negativity, general play this team is primed for another blowout win IMO. Plus last week Jamie's Winston went off against LA's d especially out of the slot. I think our guy in the slot is better than Adam Humphries, who had a great game last week.

I think that it takes the Rams' offense so much effort to score that it would be hard for this to be a runaway without a couple of defensive scores, which are rare. If you replaced Case Keenum with, say, Colin Kaepernick, you might be right, but if the Cards can bottle up Gurley (a big task), there's not much else for them to go to.

The Rams' TD drives against Tampa were basically sitting around and waiting for one big play.

95% of "experts" and computers are picking AZ.

I tend to think that AZ figures it out this week, scores early, and forces LA to become a passing team.

IMO, this has more potential to be a blowout in favor of AZ than a Rams win.

95% of the experts had us winning against the Bills. Hot take!

LOL. Maybe you have some PFF stats to back this up.

How? We just didn't become bad....this Rams team lost the 49ers 28-0 ....the Cards and Ariana know how big a game this is....just like the Bengals...we win this easy...and go to 2-2....the Seahawks were 4-4 last year and looked bad...and yet were a dangerous team last year

Jesus Christ, calm down. My post had nothing to do with your prognostication. Sensitive, much?

FTR--I think PFF is as worthless as FO.

Why put up the link if you don't believe in the analysis?

66% Consensus the Bengals would beat the Broncos (they didn't)
95% Consensus the Panthers would beat the Vikings (nope)
85% Consensus that the G-men would beat Washington (wrong)
95% Consensus that Tampa would beat the Rams (not true)
91% Consensus that the Steelers would overcome the Eagles (Apocal-Wentz)
69% Consensus that the Aints were gonna beat the Falcons (never happened)

Good site!

That's 5 games, how about the rest? Just to be fair.

Excellent matchups and comments, K9. It should be interesting to see who wins the RB battle---Gurley or David Johnson.

If rams come out playing physical smash mouth football like they usually do against it could be a long day or at best a battle. When they play super physical about half of the time we cower and go limp. We need to play with energy and confidence to win this.
