    Rams +2 vs Redskins
    Okay, I'm not a big fan of the Rams, but I really like the Rams +2 at home. It sounds like Steven Jackson will be back, and having Steven Jackson back makes this team THAT much better. Also, I'm still not buying the Redskins. Who have they beaten? They barely beat the Cardinals at home (Cardinals just lost to the Seahawks), and they beat a beat up and mentally wounded Giants team.

    They couldn't even beat a Cowboys team that:
    a. Had a QB with a broken rib.
    b. Had WR's who didn't know where to lineup on the line of scrimmage, and on top of that didn't know what route to run.
    c. Were without their best WR, and their #2 WR wasn't even close to 100%.
    d. Their whole secondary was pretty much gone except for Terrence Newman (who was back for the first time this season)
    e. A center who snapped the ball early FOUR times. Meaning, the Cowboys pretty much forfeited 4 drives. When you accidentally snap a ball early, you are giving up a down and 10-20 yards.

    I'm not sold on the Skins or Rex Grossman. I'll take Bradford over Grossman anytime, especially when they are home. I think after this week, all talks about the Redskins will be gone.

    Am I the only one who really likes the Rams here? If this were the season opener (week 1), I think we'd be seeing a line more like Rams -3 or -4. The Rams are hungry for a win, with a win, they are right back in the NFC West race.

    I like your thinking here.

    I think WSH's defense is legit, but if Amendola and S-Jax both return I'm going to give this game a longer look after Friday's injury report. I was high on them this year before all their injuries.

        This is a classic example of an underachieving team (Rams) vs an overachieving team (Redskins). The Skins defense is pretty nice, but there offense is pretty horrific. How many times did Rex drive them down the field and then stall. Hightower is nice, but I'm still not a believer in Rex. That guy puts no zip on the ball. He just hangs the ball up there.

        I'm going to be all over St Louis once I see the injury report on Friday and see that Sjax is cleared.

          Don't underestimate the importance of Amendola too This guy was Mr Everything for their passing game. I would feel a whole lot better if they were +3 though. I don't think it has a chance to get there..

            Yeah Amendola is Wes Welker Jr of that team. I think Bradford feels a whole lot better when he is out there. I still like the Rams to win that division. I think 8 wins is all it will take to win the NFC West. I think teasing Rams is a great idea. Washington won't beat anyone this year by double digits. They just don't have the offensive fire power to win by 10+ points.

                  MANY HOME GAMES = 2 Games? Lets see, they lost to the team they call the dream team and lost half their team to injury in the 1st half. Then another great team that will likely make it to the AFC playoffs came in and crushed them, still w/o 2 of their top 3 players (Amendola and SJax). Take away 2 of the top 3 players on any team and see how they do. Before SJax got hurt, St Louis had a legit chance of beating Phili.

                    I'm talking about last season.

                    If a team loses at home often then there is something wrong with that team.
                    The Rams and Dolphins seem to have this problem.
