I like the Cards as well, to cover at least.
Rams giving up surprising few amount of TD passes (one site said 10 the other 12) to WRs. 2nd best.
Who is Ramsey gonna be covering, Kirk?

Rams in a Rout
Rubber game for these two. Bills took out a rubber hose in their rubber game matchup. Don't see either team winning like that. Both have flaws,IF Watt plays and AJ Green shows up it could make the difference. Cards don't mind the road and Rams "home field" advantage isn't that great. so.....
Arizona- 31
Los Angeles- 24

Stafford going for his first playoff win!
Lions will receive the 23rd pick if the Rams lose…
Most of the year Detroit fans were all “man, Matthew is such a good guy, hope he gets a ring.”
This week it’s more like “screw that dude we don’t want the 26th (or worse) pick.”

Don't forget to start a fight with someone else in the thread and make that the important part of the game. Everyone loves that kind of stuff.

I think even the biggest Stafford doubter thinks he's a good guy and a solid teammate. This is a big game for him though, one where he can prove that it was more his previous team that was the main problem.

It is that way. You wish a good team player, who moves on, success except when he's playing against your team. Tonight Stafford is playing against the Lions because of the draft consequences.
Its like the ending for the Bridge Over the River Kwai when the Colonel realizes that the bridge he took pride in building assists the Japanese.

I see it as a coin flip TBH. AZ is good on the road, Stafford love to throw to the wrong jerseys down the stretch, both teams play good defense…AZ hasn’t been the run funnel the last few games that they were for a large chunk of the season…
LAR offense has managed commendably without Woods, but they’ve definitely struggled to find an identity. The Niners made Sony look like Sony, and the Rams have seemed hesitant to take the deep shots they were taking earlier in the season.
that might be partly due to the health of the OL, but Stafford has been pressured a lot more than he was - and if JJ Watt is even 80% of himself, it could be a long game.
This was my coin flippiest of coin flips this weekend (my other one was 49ers) so I’m likely going to wager AZ + points. I already bet the over - I think it was 46 or 47 when I got in bht haven’t checked in a minute.
Should be a close, fun game: hopefully we’re not all talking about the refs afterwards.

You just know it’s coming. The only real question is if it’s going to be a house call.

I think the Rams win this game in an exciting contest.
LA - 28
AZ - 24
That's what I've got.

I think Watt being back is going to be a huge boost for Arizona, both on the field and emotionally/mentally. There was a lot of talk early this season, that Watt came in and was instantly the leader of the team. Its also worth noting that they were 7-0 with Watt this year, including dominant wins over these Rams and the Titans.I see it as a coin flip TBH. AZ is good on the road, Stafford love to throw to the wrong jerseys down the stretch, both teams play good defense…AZ hasn’t been the run funnel the last few games that they were for a large chunk of the season…

It might be a cruel point of view, but I'm also rooting against the Rams, because I think it'd be funny if after all they gave up for Stafford, they end up not getting as far as Goff got them. I also like the idea of Arians facing his old team in round 2, even if there are very few remaining players.
I think Stafford throws for like 275-2 but has a killer INT in there. Kupp gets somewhat contained(say 9-90) as they double him all game, which leads to some big plays for Jefferson and Beckham. I think Michel has some success on the ground (17-80 or so) and Akers mixes in a couple touches but is the clear #2. I think Higbee spends a lot of time helping of Jones/Watt.
As for the Cardinals offense, I think Kyler keeps some drives going and has 50+ rushing and possibly a TD. Passing wise, I Kyler dinks and dunks mostly to try and neutralize Donald/Miller, but they keep it in his hands. I think 320 yards is a fair bet. I'm expecting Edmonds/Connor to be heavily involved(Edmonds missed the 2nd game and his quickness was missed) in the passing game, in addition to rushing. I think Zach Ertz will get open over the middle a lot, and should is probably the best bet for a receiving TD, something like 5-55-1. The Rams had a lot of trouble with AJ Green in both meetings(though Hopkins played both games) and his size could give them issues again if Ramsey stays inside as he's done most weeks. I do wonder if Rondale Moore will be more active than expected in his 1st game back.
I'll say 31-24 Arizona, with the Cards coming out hot.

Ironically I didn’t make it there for a Rams game this year but did for 2 Charger games.

What did you think of it? I'm tempted to go, but with COVID and all, I'm really risk-averse.

As a Bucs fan I prefer the Cards because the Rams have more top end talent - Donald can wreck a game and Ramsey could take Evans out. However, Murray is the far superior QB and getting Stafford in a road playoff game sounds like a treat. Yesterday I was convinced I wanted the Cards but it’s close. Rams have the better coach too.

Will you be donning that Cowboys hat you were wearing in their thread yesterday or be posting like a normal human? TIA

It’s amazing, truly. The owner of my company has 4 seats in that first field section which also allows you down to the field level in the end zone. It’s unreal. Only downside is the traffic leaving the game. Pure gridlock every time.

Cards get two picks on Matt S, JJ has two sacks. Cards in a rout!

Yeah but surprisingly, not if he's down at half they don't. I forget the exact stats but a Rams fan buddy actually pointed it out to me. I was shocked. Someone here will know.
Anyway, not good.

I would just pray for Wirfs being healthy, really.
You guys miss Godwin. I don't see Tampa advancing past the next round (sorry, man). If they do, I don't see them beating Green Bay. Kinda feel like everything is too suspect in Tampa right now.

I can’t pick a bet, so I took the over (49) and imma root for points, and for a fun in-game topic.

Toss up.
Stafford has been a turnover machine last half of the season and leads the NFL in INTs and pick 6s. Murray has been up and down last half and will need to use his legs tonight to get away from the Ram pass rush. Either way it should be a close game.
Real question is who will Kelly Stafford blame if Rams lose?

I actually think TB is the team that has the best chance of beating GB. The way to beat them is to outduel them. Brady is the only QB I can see doing that left in the NFC.
I also forget the exact stat, but it was something like the Rams lose 75% of the time if they are down at halftime, but win every time they lead, except for that loss to SF last week. A hot start is crucial for them.

I remember you posting that. I also remember @BobbyLayne providing that response above when you posted it showing that McVay was actually in the top half, so really not that bad - a post you actually acknowledged.

Sportsball & if the fantasy gods are taking requests, Edmonds & Van Jefferson having huge games wouldn’t make be upset at all. A random Zeno Benjamin TD would also be great, kthxbye
