Look forward to rubbing the Aints HC's nose in the dirt; go Rams!

A one o'clock start, home game, and Rams are a 14 point favorite. What's not to like. Just don't blow it!

Good news, Rob Havenstein and Puka Nacua – have been listed as active and will be playing.

This craziness happened 31 years ago in New Orleans:


Yes, it was a Rams loss, but it’s still cool.

Former Saints coach Jim Mora. I just turned 67 and was whining about it. Never again
This dude is 90 years old.

There's no way that dude is 90.

James Mora was born May 24, 1935, making him 90 years old.

“Extra weight? Extra weight?!”

Amazing. He’s catching up to Marv Levy.

The last 2 games the Saints have had 8 turnovers and given up 9 sacks. Hence making the QB change. Seattle beat this team 44-13 but the next week in Buffalo they were only down 21-19 in the 4th before losing.

I think this game will be closer than the 14 point spread. Saints limited Tampa to only 212 yards of offense last week. I think they are just due to not be as fluky on offense with all the turnovers last 2 games. Feels like the Jets game from last year to me

Rams at home after a bye and relatively healthy. Saints starting a rookie QB. I think the Rams will easily cover the spread. Hoping to see more of Ferguson; and maybe we get to see what Jarquez Hunter can do late in the game if the Rams are up big.

I agree with both = big win and get some PT for rookies.
And have the 49ers lose to NYG and have Daniels lead Washington to an upset win over Seachickens. One can dream...

N.O.'s is the Aints again. I remember when they and Atlanta came into the league together in 1966 I believe.
Rams and 9ers got fat feasting on them in the NFC West for a decade or more. Especially N.O.
Rams coming off the bye have eeked out wins the last 2 years and have gone a combined 16-4.
I think the Rams will cover too but as I think it was Al Davis that said... Just Win Baby!

That's what makes me nervous. We always tend to play down to teams and never put them away except Jax. There's no way I would give anybody 14.5 points.

Yeah, Prevent and Soft Zone Defenses are not exactly spread friendly..

And 14.5 is a huge spread in the pros.

That too....
Boise State was 16.5 home Favorites yesterday vs Fresno State and lost 31-7...
That's the kind of result I worry about, but not as much under Sean!
