All year long a lot of “experts” haven’t had a lot of faith in our rams and now today a lot of squawking heads are picking the rams over the goat. Even the wise Skip Bayless, who doesn’t believe Aaron Donald is anything special, is entertaining the possibility that the rams win. If all these idiots are picking the rams what are the chances they don’t have a clue as usual.

I'm not worried about the talking heads. What concerns me even more are the Ram players. It seems like every time they get on top of the standings or the press starts to drool over them, they come back to earth. Hopefully, this is simply their journey to the super bowl. They definitely seem to be peaking at the right time... OBJ, Von Miller, Akers, Howard, etc.

Buccaneers have some major injuries, but all year long one thing we've learned is not to count a team out, when they face adversity. The Rams proved this against Arizona on Monday Night December 13th without many players including Jalen Ramsey.

Hopefully, they can get to Brady because when Brady is sacked 3 times or more, he has a losing record. Let's keep that going.

The Bucs "major injuries" all seem to be getting better. I'd be shocked if Wirfs, Fournette, and Jensen aren't starting on Sunday. Then, outside of Godwin (who's been gone for weeks), they are relatively healthy. Not to mention Barrett is back and healthy as of last week. Honestly, on paper, they have a very impressive team. Our best chance is pressure up the middle on Brady and hope Stafford protects the ball.

What drives me nuts about the sports shows is the overaction to the last game played. Good or bad, the last game you play seems to be all they remember.

If you don't like what they are saying about your team, wait a week.

Fact are facts...the Rams have beat them the last two times which say they give the Bucs problems.

The Bucs have some injury issues on their Oline to key players.

Wouldn't you wonder about that?

Absolutely no way Skip will pick the Rams to win. We're good!

My biggest worry is how this game will be officiated. Non calls by Buc"s holding AD, phantom "roughing" for brushing by Brady, PI"s on Rams DB"s.

The crew officiating this game has the highest average of penalties. I highly doubt this favors the Rams.

I ALWAYS have a brighter outlook when they pick against us. Especially Warner. When they pick us I get bad juju...

Do we know who the Officiating crew is? I hope it’s not that dumb bell Vinovitch.

A number of these defensive players have had success against Brady going back to Super Bowl 53.

They've beaten them twice in the last two seasons - home and away.

It may be close, but I see the Rams winning, PERIOD.

9 gets his second playoff win.

Bucs OL will be hurting even if the 2 starters are cleared to play.

Meanwhile, they will be matched up against the Ram front 5 which is not only a team strength but is among the very best in the entire league.

That’s a classic mismatch.

One thing that's been overlooked is Henderson may play also. If that's the case then Ram offense becomes more potent.

We were top 3 in just about every ranking after 8 games. Then fell out of the top ten in some after the losing streak. Now we have people saying we are the most talented team in the playoffs. Some are even predicting us to win it all.

Like it was said, they base it all on your last game. Whoever has the most impressive win this weekend will be the team everyone fawns over. I almost hope our win isn't as impressive as someone else's. But then again it sure is less on the nerves if we get ahead and stay ahead comfortably.
