Playoff Jockeying Continues Apace

For my money the Rams are the most talented team in the NFC but they’re in this dog-eat-dog division where they get no breaks at all. There’s a “steel sharpens steel” saw out there but does it apply here? Anyway, they need to get past an Atlanta squadoo that is capable of an upset if the offense is working. But first…

Fallout:

-For the 3rd straight year the Pack is the 7th seed and they can’t do anything about it. Malik Willis showing out in a loss (he accounted for 97.5% of all offense) is giving the Haters of Love movement plenty of ammo.

-The Seahawks/Niners decider game has been flexed to Saturday night and believe it or not, whiny fans are up in arms about each of their teams playing on 5 days rest. Social media can die in a fire.

-Marcus Freeman got more monies from his employer so all of the hot-takers in the NY sports-sphere that said he was the next coach of the Giants can go back to their hot air-filled home and conjure up the next ill-conceived rumor that they pray will gain traction. Social media can die in a fire.

-Burrow is starting a meaningless game (well, even more meaningless than the usual late December fare) vs the Browns.

-The current draft order is 1) Raiders, 2) Giants, 3) Jets, 4) Titans, 5) Cards

To The Game!

Rams/Falcons:

-L.A. gets the standard 7 point advantage for all you betting monkeys.

-I’m guessing these teams were both in the NFC South for a long time because the all-time series sits at 49-30-3 for the Rams. This rings true because the Falcons were never anything to be concerned about. (there was one year that the D blitzed the hell out of everyone and I think Jerry Glanville was the DC?)

-Symmetry: The Falcons are 14th ranked on both sides of the ball. That offense should be ranked higher but earlier in the season Bijan was ignored for some reason.

-Expect Puca to go off (and not just on a podcast the next day) because as far as cb’s go there’s only A.J. Terrell. Behind him are an undrafted dude and a back up.

-Stafford has 40 TD’s to accompany his paltry 5 INT’s. That’s just ludicrous for a 37 yr. old.

Do your thing.
