Rams @ Cards... Who you got and why?

[Rams since '66]

Pains me to say it but Rams are just not as good as AZ right now unless they can get Murray out of the game.
Cardinals 35
Rams 24

Rams have a better winning % at the Cards home Stadium then the Cards do... in the McVay era...
Doesn't really mean nothing but it is fact.
Everything will depend on how "soft" the Ram D plays, ST's and not handing them points/TO's....
Rams Kicker Matt Gay is 3rd in the NFL with 23 FG's which speaks imo to a lack of finishing drives off.. They gotta be better at that...

I think the Rams will recognize the moment and bring a good enough game to get it done and Von Miller will have a lot to do with that...

Rams 34 Cards 26

I was impressed by the last game. Rams win.

[harkin]

We’ve handled them for a long time but the last game they came into our own house and humiliated us. They were as hard-nosed as we were soft.

Cannot let them start a new trend, trends have staying lower in the NFC West.

Refuse to lose. Dig deep and show these fu**ers they’re playing the RAMS.

I took AZ in the pool…………..

Rams 30-21
We run, we win. 30 plus runs win. Rams victory

[GlendoraRam]

My gut tells me McVay will begin the game running the ball which the Cards should expect, then after a few series, he will get pass happy and Stafford will be the same out of sync QB we have seen recently. I also think dumb ass Morris will try to get cute instead of playing physical and playing their receivers with our best DB’s on them.
I see this as something like
Cards 35
Rams 17

[ocram23]

Murray and Hopkins are back.
If you're actually betting,you don't pick Rams straight up.

Cleveland I will be there. Meet me at the game

[Jack85Youngblood]

If the Rams perform the "2 C's". Commit to the Run and Contain Murray then they will win.

PS @DMRamFan,, as much as I wish it wasn't, the Cardinals win total is incorrect at 6-6.

Noooo injuries. If there was ever an important win, this coming Monday night is up there.

GO Rams and pluck as many feathers as possible.

[fan since 65]

Outside of the TB game these big matchups have gotten away from us early...if we get the running game going early and stick with it we have a chance...we gotta have a little luck and win one of these prime-time games...Rams 24-20...

[therealheadslap75]

1. Reeder and Rapp liabilities against Kingsberry O

2. Stafford too shaky

3. Cards got rid of the ball nullified pass rush

4. Rams refuse to tighten coverage vs short passing game

5. Every DB other than JR5 not playing well

Cards 31
Rams 24

Hope I am very very wrong

[Hacksaw]

to elaborate on my previous post, I'd put my money on StL, heart's of course with LA.

Rams or Cards?

Yes and the sad and frustrating part will be that the running game will be productive, but McVay still goes pass heavy, leading to a loss.

lets hope that doesn't happen. perhaps the 6 O-lineman approach vs JAX was just a warm up...hope so. especially since StL allows 4.7 per carry.

[Ramsfan08ny]

Unfortunately, the Rams defense has not shown me any evidence of being able to stop Murray. And, Sean Mcvay unfortunately, had not shown me that he can adjust and adapt. If those two key points don't change, it's another ugly prime time game pretty much over at half time. I hope the heck I'm wrong.....

Rams 16
Cards 31

[Rammer]

Rams 35 - 17. Rams in control from start to finish. It will be the best game of the season on both sides of the ball. Why? I dunno- lol. Maybe, now that everyone is doubting them, they pull together. If they don't do it now, they are done and they know it. So, we will see the kind of game that they are capable of, hitting on all cylinders. McVay goes power game and runs the ball more and Stafford starts well and does not turn the ball over. The defense doesn't allow a 9 minute opening drive in the first quarter.

[grackler]

DC Morris is too clueless to (1) tighten up and adapt to the Cards short passing game and (2) get DL to stay in their rush lanes and stop Murray from scrambling around the edges for big gains.

Cards 31 Rams 17.

Hate it. I also blame McVay for not taking Morris aside and reading him the riot act and/or (even better) for not having the cajones to fire Morris mid-season.

This is a lost year folks. Big changes in the asst coaches roster coming in the off season.

[NorCal RF]

I think this sums it up well by a national sports writer with no vested interest………

“I really want to pick the Rams here but they just aren't physical enough. The Cardinals are getting healthier and have the better defense.”

Now, I picked the Rams in our pool as I can't pick against them. However, I'm extremely worried about this. Its hard to be confident in this Rams team until they give us a reason to be confident.

Heart says: Rams 31 Cards 24
Head says: Rams 21 Cards 31

But what does your balls say?

Rams 52 Cards 0, but I gave up thinking with them a while back.

[Cornell29]

The Payback tour starts this week. Rams 27 cards 20.

Welp, let’s go ahead give’m a nice round house kick, because We’re gonna win this game my man. I mean what other reason is there for you to wake up at 1am London time to watch live? Right?!

Yep, the overseas boys and girls need a reward for the early alarm call. Please let's put on a good show.
