Rams NOT the scoring machine of old BUT let me see if I get this.....RAMS WITH TWO HEALTHY STARTING EXPERIENCED QB's (one All Pro)......ATLANTA with one healthy "sort of experienced" suspect at best starter and a back up QB who is the lumbering Illinois "Kid Kittner" as HIS BACKUP. Hmmmmmmmm
RAMS also get RB Lamar Gordon back (North Dakota State Bison in Fargo by the way)
St. Louis recorded its season high in points two weeks ago, beating the Arizona Cardinals 37-13. (NOTE:SEASON HIGH....ONLY 37 points...AND VS ARZ)
Another BIG KEY is The Falcons NEW scheme of the Cover 4 Simpons "DOOOHHFence":
--The Falcons have allowed five runs of 20-plus yards and seven passes of 40-plus.
--They have also surrendered 17 passes of 20 or more yards.
--Rushing Defense - 153.0 ypg (29th)
--Passing Defense - 229.8 ypg (23rd)
--Total Defense - 382.8 ypg (32nd). (YUPPER...DEAD LAST)
EVEN THE DETROIT TIGERS CAN SCORE ON THIS DEFENSE!!!!
VS THE RAMS ON/OFFENSE (NOT VERY GOOD)
--Rushing Offense - 94.8 yards per game (21st in NFL)
--Passing Offense - 194.0 ypg (24th)
--Total Offense - 288.8 ypg (27th).
LAST GAME e.g.
The Rams' success on offense came by using several grinding, clock-eating drives, instead of the big scoring plays they had become known for when they went to two Super Bowls in three years.
St. Louis had four drives that lasted more than 10 plays, and chewed up more than eight minutes on its final scoring drive against the Cardinals.
"Keep the defense off the field, dominate the clock, and demoralize them if you can," Rams coach Mike Martz said. "That's kind of our approach."
Bulger who's started the last two games ahead of an ineffective Warner, is good on the short reads and has a faster release than Warner. But he has misfired often on the long ball, a Warner strength when he threw a combined 77 touchdown passes in 1999 and 2001.
HAVING SAID ALL THIS IT IS INTERESTING TO KNOW THAT ATLANTA WITH RESPECT TO THEM HAVE PLAYED:
one hell of a tough schedule. In fact, Atlanta has now faced Minnesota, Carolina, Tampa Bay, Washington and Dallas. Each of those teams reside amongst the top in most peoples NFL Power Ratings and have a combined record of 20-6 SU this season!!!
Also that road favorites were a deplorable 14-4 ATS (if you bet home dogs) heading into this past weekend’s action, etc, etc; double digit NFL dogs have been their usual profitable self at a sterling 4-1 ATS heading into this weekend’s action. Hence the one Houston BLOWOUT.
ALSO THAT THE RAMS ARE now just 4-11-1 ATS their last 16 as a favorite, 4-9 ATS their last 13 as a double digit home favorite, 1-5 ATS their last 6 overall as a double digit favorite and an awful 1-7 ATS their last 8 at home on Monday Night..
THIS YEAR THE PUBLIC is winning and the Dogs are dying....(excerpt from ****** Article) Value seeking, contrarian type of betting that has won year in and year out has not worked this year. In other words, fading the public and riding the dogs all the way to the bank has proven to be a sure way to lose your shirt.
BOTTOM LINE FOR ME WILL BE TOO MANY POINTS TO GIVE BUT THE RAMS SHOULD BEAT THEM HANDILY...FALCONS SHOULD BE ABLE TO PUT UP 16 to 20 POINTS.SO WILL PLAY ONLY MY SECOND NFL TEASER OF THE YEAR AT A 3.5 STAR TO CUSHION THE OBVIOUS THAT THE PUBLIC WILL BE PLAYING WITH A 40 PLUS SCORING GAME AND MAYBE SAVE A LATE BACK DOOR LAST SECOND ATLANTA TD TO COVER IN CASE IT IS THAT CLOSE!!....(Maybe hedge a straight play prior to gametime as well)!!
MLB.....2*==>NYY -130and opinion only on the OVER 9 runs...Wakefield probably got his one good game in the first game and NYY won't be taking many strikes tonight. Should slap hit him for several runs.
BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE AS ALWAYS!! GoldV
