Good news, Florio picks against the Rams...again

[Prime Time]

Last week he picked the Cowboys to beat the Rams.

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/01/10/pfts-divisional-round-picks-7/

Florio’s take: In most Dallas games, it becomes obvious whether the Cowboys will win within the first half of the first quarter. This week, it quickly will become evident that their approach is working against a Rams defense that will have its hands full with one of the best offensive lines in football.

And against a Rams offense that isn’t as good as it was before Jared Goff‘s skills regressed and Todd Gurley‘s knee became swollen. In their home away from home, Dallas gets its first road playoff win in 26 years.

Florio’s pick: Cowboys 17, Rams 13.
----------------------------------------------
https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/01/17/pfts-conference-championship-picks-2/

Florio’s take: The one-two punch of Todd Gurley and C.J. Anderson could create problems for the home team’s front seven, especially with Sheldon Rankins out for the year. But the Saints earned home-field advantage, they’ve already beaten the Rams in the Superdome, and the noise that will be generated by a raucous New Orleans crowd creates a real benefit.

Throw in the edge in playoff experience, a lingering sense of unfinished business from last year, and a lesson learned about starting slowly from last week and the Saints should be able to ride Drew Brees, Asshole Face, and company to a berth in the Super Bowl.

Florio’s pick: Saints 38, Rams 31.

That is awesome news.
Funkrio is wrong on a regular basis. Especially in the playoffs.

Rams +3.5 at Saints

The Saints beat the Rams 45-35 on Nov. 4 in a game where both quarterbacks rolled up big numbers, with Brees throwing four touchdown passes and Goff throwing three. The Saints led 35-17 at the half, which helped negate the running game. But this time around, the Rams are coming off an impressive run-game showing against the Cowboys. I think that will carry over here.

The Rams pounded the Cowboys for 273 yards, with both Todd Gurley and C.J. Anderson going over 100 yards. The offensive line was outstanding. That will be the plan here as well. Pound it at the Saints, who will play without injured defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins (torn Achilles tendon). If they can run it and keep Brees on the sideline, then they will be able to control the tempo. It will also help open up Goff and the passing game.

The Saints offense wasn't as good down the stretch as it was when they met the first time. The offense also seemed to struggle to get into a groove last week against the Eagles. The Los Angeles defense has some issues as well, which is why running the ball will be key for the Rams to help keep Brees planted on the bench.

I think the Rams will do just that, with Gurley and Goff having big days as the Rams get to the Super Bowl.

Pick: Rams 27, Saints 26

Not even one on the field relatable football reason did he list for favoring the Aints. Hello! The game is called football, and it's played on the field! What a douche bag.

meh
Nearly every talking head out there now claims Goff is a liability, the Saints O will torch the Rams D, and crowd noise will have the Rams cowering in fear.

They seem to overlook the addition of CJ, Talib being back, having the experience of the Superdome crowd under the belt, and the fact that the Rams did put up just a few points during week 9

Florio’s pick: Saints 38, Rams 31.

Well shit, based on those two vital factors alone, NO one's touching Patriots this year. alm:

.I haven't seen those kinds of comments, but I haven't read everything or watched everything that's out there...It becomes too redundant for me, with only with the occasional different commentary

Mike Foolio picked the Cowboys over the Rams and the Saints over the Rams. Hope he picks the Patriots over the Rams as well. He's more potent than New Orleans voodoo.
