My Prediction For The Thursday Night Opener

[fanotodd]

It'll be the stupid Cowboys.

I think you’re right for the reasons we all kinda really know.
I’m ok with that. We let the pretenders know right away they’re not on our level.

I also see the packers as a possibility too.

 

[fanotodd]

I don’t see the Rams playing a west coast team because the nfl likes double headers on the first Monday night with the nightcap being a west coast game (late start).

I’d like to knock the snot out of that crybaby in GB first game, I’m on board to play the packers.

This makes sense and is as good as any other option. I don't think we'll see a division game week 1 they seem to like the majority of those in the 2nd half of the season especially the last 4 or 5 weeks. Denver also makes sense with them being very good on paper and it's Russell Wilson going to LA again. Cowboys make less sense because they were the first game there week 1 two years ago now. Atlanta and Carolina just aren't very good so not sure it'll be them and fuck the Raiders though they also make sense. Bills are a good guess IMO right along with the Broncos.

We play @Green Bay and they're talking the Thursday night opener that is usually the SB champ hosting a game.

Darn. I would’ve liked that matchup.
Then just give us a cupcake so we can get off to a good start.

It should be Rams 49ers in LA.

That is the ideal scenario. Shitters having to endure our ring ceremony in LA. Then we pound that ass.

That will be a sight on the 50 yards line.....

Better than Janet Jackson showing tit?

I’d bet they do a Raiders vs Broncos Match up before the Rams Week 1 ….2 reasons:
1) The Rams still get very little respect from the NFL (even though Kroenke is making all the owners tons of cash).
2) The Broncos vs Raisers is a historically watched game. Believe me, living in Colorado I’ve missed a ton of Rams game shaving to watch them play.

JMHO

We will have the opening game. The champs always do.

Do you just mean the NFL would have Raiders Broncos play each in week one other and have the Rams play someone else to open the season?

Yep. I see the NFL pushing rival division games. So The Rams play the 49ers or teams like the Bills or Chiefs before the Broncos.

The last time the opening game was a division game was in 2008. Not counting 2019 which didn't have the SB champion hosting, I'm not sure why.

The NFL prefers the division games late in the season to add suspense to the playoff picture.

The opening Thursday Night Game has been the SB Champion hosting somebody from their conference. There were 2 or 3 exceptions. I say Dallas or Tampa is the likely partner.
