SEASON RECORD: 38-25 (+10.50 Units)
If you notice the Rams schedule and their 3 losses. Yes, I know they are on the road, where they are considerably worse, but if you look even closer, you will see that they have played poorly in 4 games this year. Twice against the 49ers, against the Giants and then Seattle. Those 3 teams have something in common. The 49ers lead the NFL in sacks, the Giants are 2nd, and the Seahags are a little lower, in fact they are just in the top 60% of the league, but I think you get my point. The downfall of the Rams last year and parts of this year is quarterback protection. If they do not get it.....they look terrible. Baltimore is 4th in the league in sacks with 21 in 8 games. You know they will stuff the run for the most part as they lead the league in that department, which makes most teams one dimensional. Once the Ravens get to the quarterback that may make this team struggle with the pass as well. The Rams will get their points, but I look for Baltimore to force a lot of turnovers. The Rams lead the NFL in giveaways with 20, and that is no way to survive against one of the better coaches in the NFL in Billick.
I am definatly on the Ravens tonight as the Rams may not be playing with any urgency tonight with 2 "easy" games up next.
My Plays:
Ravens +7 and I may fiddle with the over. I think that Baltimore may be able to get some cheap points off turnovers tonight.
GOOD LUCK!
