I just think the Rams right now are the better team now that Stafford and Williams are 100 percent.
Rams are hot coming into this game, winning seven out of their last eight, the lone loss being on a walk off punt return in Baltimore last month which was kind of a fluke.

True all five of the previous Rams games have been decided by one score, and one can argue they should have lost that Giants game, but as I like to say, "What's the bottom line?"
Winner's win.

I like what Detroit has done the past two years, I like Goff, when he was breaking into the NFL I caught a lot of shit defending him, I like St. Brown too. I always liked Coach Campbell, loved him when he played for my NY Giants.
Lions with Cambell is an easy team to root for.

Thing is Goff is pick prone, threw more INT's that Stafford (who can throw head scratching INT's as well) in two more games started.

I trust Stafford more in this spot than Goff, now that Cooper Kupp is healthy Stafford has one more option to go to besides Nacua (who finished fourth in league in receiving yards right behind St. John)

Kyren Williams led the NFL averaging 95 rush yards, per game (look it up) in only 12 games, would have won the NFL rushing crown from CMC if he made every start.

I like both coaches, McVay has won a ring, I like McVay better.
I like LA's rush attack better, now that Kupp and Nacua are a 1-2 tandem I like the Rams pass attack much better.
(Both TE's should start but are dinged up)

You can pass on both team's defenses, and both teams run defenses are pretty stout though.
IMO both defenses overall are even though I've heard Detroit has the better team defense.

For the reasons stated above, I like the Rams despite Detroit's home field advantage.

RAMS +3 (-105)

Great write up Nasher enjoyed it. I hit this one for 3 units +3.5 so needless to say it’s an important wager for me to end my week.

[Seattle Slew]

Think the Rams just have edges in all areas, QB, WR, coach, best individual defensive player.

Lions do have the better kicker, which could be huge. Rams going back to Maher, who they cut after the Steelers game. Sam Maher who missed three extra points for Dallas in the playoffs last year against Tampa.

True, true.

I looked at the special teams too, I even said to myself before placing my wager "watch the kicking game screw me here."
What did Bill Parcells like to say " Three aspects of the game, offense, defense, and special teams, you need to win two of those three to win".

(Or something to that effect)

Maher is all streaks. He either makes a bunch in a row, or misses a bunch. McVay will know early what to do if he starts shanking kicks or extra points.

[Optional]

Lets go LA

[Seattle Slew]

How about this, if Green Bay and the Rams both win, the Eagles are in position for a divisional home playoff game next week against the Rams.

Appreciate that.

[stevenash]

Lets go LA

I wonder who Jaker is rooting for?

[gauchojake]

I wonder who Jaker is rooting for?

Lol

I think it's going to be a good game. Hopefully Rams come through. This has been a great season either way.

[Eddy Munny]

I think we're due for a tight game at this point. This is still the playoffs, right?

[Headsterx]

I hate LA but love free nachos more so go Rams!

[Slurry Pumper]

I'm on the rams as well. I've picked every game right so far and so far every game has been a total rocking chair sleeper of a win. That teaser with dallas was also a sleeper for the loser column.
Detroit is a good story but they're D fense isn't going to hold up in my opinion. I expect points and in the end, the Rams come through and cover. I do hope the Lions win, but the cash goes on the Rams.

[budwiser]

unfortunately a lot of us on the rams but my play is rams also

hopefully we're right cause that's not usually a good sign

[swordsandtequila]

Guess I'm on an island on my own. Riding the D-train.




Edit: Me and Lakerboy...

[Slurry Pumper]

Gonna take the over 10.5 +130 (draftkings) in the 1st quarter. I liek the payout and I think this game gets going right off the bat.

[risKingDigits]

Goff should be good for a couple turn overs and -40 yards lost from being sacked.

Puka Nacua is having himself a record year, hope he plays on.

Wow! So we're going to get 4 in the row blowouts?

[budwiser]

what are you talking about

[Slurry Pumper]

Well that would wild, but the rams backers will take a last minute TD from the Lions with a gamble 2 point conversion either way to get that cash.

[gauchojake]

There's a few things I like for the Rams here (other than being a massive homer )

Rams strength of schedule vs Lions SOS. Lions have had an easier road to get here.

Rams are hot and have been playing their best ball coming into the playoffs.

Experience

[Chiefs83]

I’ll take Stafford over Goff anyday

kupp in and the Detroit te laporta in though it's hard for me to imagine him being 100%

agree mcvay better xs and os coach. plus he knows everything about goff

[Seattle Slew]

I’ll take Stafford over Goff anyday

Stafford booed heavily when he came out. Pretty lame. Guy took a pounding for 12 years for that team.

[hehfest]

If the Lions lose, then is BLM in Detroit ready to start riots and burn down the city?

[Slurry Pumper]

I can't believe I'm taking Stat Padford on the road tonight but the Rams are playing well. Lets get this going right from the start and see these teams run up and down the field to get me that 1st quarter over 10.5. I like the game over as well. Shyt I got several bets on this game, that is scary if the Rams get shut down, I'm screwed and will have to make up for it wit ha good day during the week in the markets.

[Eddy Munny]

Eminem is on the Lions.

[Headsterx]

what are you talking about

Slurry has been picking winners in the playoffs. All of his 3 picks resulted in blowout wins. He's picking Rams. So will tonight be 4 blowout wins in a row?

[hehfest]

Slewy, has OldBill found your house yet? I heard he's rollin' up in a 85' Pinto to take you on a date!

[Headsterx]

Eminem is on the Lions.

He'll "lose himself" for being a homer.

[hehfest]

Detroit is overdue for some riots and some big fires after all. I think its been since the 60's riots. Its overdue.

[Headsterx]

Get ready for another shit show of sports coverage...

[Slurry Pumper]

Detroit is overdue for some riots and some big fires after all. I think its been since the 60's riots. Its overdue.

Have you seen the Detroit Metro area lately, if they riot there will be no property damage.

[stevenash]

Eminem is on the Lions.

[Headsterx]

Guess who's back? Stafford's back!
