Well, 5 out of 14 of the 'experts' pick us. A couple years ago, it would've been a clean sweep for SEA.

And after we WIN, all these 'Band-Wagoner's' will Jump on Board, and say How Great we are going to be!!

OR! Option 2; They will all come up with excuses as to why the "Hag's" Lost. and not a word about the reasons the Ram WON!!
" the Rams are the Rodney Dangerfield of the NFL!! We get no respect!"
And don't give me that Crap about "When we start winning more.."
These "Heads" have no problem talking-up Buffalo!! (Tough D But nothing else!)

Shlereth is pretty level headed, I appreciate that vote of confidence from him.

I like Hoge too, though I think I'm in the minority, and Mortenson is pretty informed.

I would have liked to get Jaworski's blessing.

The rest of them are clowns to me.

Buffalo is a hard place to go play.
I think they think the Buffalo D, which should be very good, can keep it close enough to have a shot at the end....see the last couple of Pats games in Buffalo. It will be interesting to see how their new QB does. I really like EJ when he came out and was sure he was the long term starter in Buffalo.
But, there is the Rex Ryan affect....he can mess up a lot of things.

I like Schlereth and Hoge too. Mort is always pretty informed, I agree. Hoge gets in hot water because he speaks his mind, which is refreshing.
I used to respect Jaws but he says some pretty nutty things sometimes.
This game may very well come down to special teams.

I think the vote from Jackson says a lot he was never one to jump on the hype of what man feel a team can be. So to see him vote for the Rams says a lot to me.

Can't wait to go out there beat the Seahawks and watch the wagon get filled up again lol

Who is the QB up there, Tyrod Taylor? Buffalo is a pretty interesting to me too, the consesus has them at 8-8 but I see them alittle better than that. Maybe not enough to make the playoffs, but they're similar to St Louis in that nobody really wants to play them.

Agreed.
Yeah, Taylor got the starting job. I picked then last year as my break out team. Didn't happen, mostly handcuffed by their O. Pretty similar teams.

Ditka is senile and Carter just has personal favorites he never lets go of. Both are a waste of a pick weekly.

I like Hoge myself these days, though at first I didn't. He's intense sometimes and a bit dramatic but he really knows the game and how to break it down.

Cris Carter is just picking the fall guy.

 

[JUMAVA68]

They will all see the light soon enough and act like they knew it all along.

I'd like to see Buffalo make it back to the Playoff, They've been "Snake-Bit"!

The Vikings, and Bills, Soooo many SB's and No Wins!

Hogepoge has been a Rams hater for years...I was stunned to see him pick them...Schlereth is from Alaska and went to Service HS...He is the guy I've always thought might be the most level-headed of the group...

 

[Merlin]

I will be honest: if I am them I see no reason to think the Rams win. Picking our team would be nothing but calculated risk based on recent history.

I think the Rams could show up big, but from my perspective would not bet them simply because their young OL is drawing a fierce early season matchup.

My belief is this OL will be very good. But in game one? Maybe, maybe not. Saehawks are smart bet.

And after we WIN, all these 'Band-Wagoner's' will Jump on Board, and say How Great we are going to be!!

OR! Option 2; They will all come up with excuses as to why the "Hag's" Lost. and not a word about the reasons the Ram WON!!

No,the Jets are R Dangerfield. The Rams are Ralph Kramden

I saw that Skip Bayless picked us to win. Are we now doomed?

Golic and Jaws are asshats. They pick solely on perception not reality.
