ESPN: Rams over/under 7.5 wins

[Prime Time]

The crystal ball foresees a winning season for the Rams.

 

[RhodyRams]

Ok..the book is set up...y'all have until Sept 8th to get your bets in, so better hurry it up.

Also set it up for a maximum of 2 bets per person, so if you frequent posters cant be laying out $500 a week until it closes

 

[DaveFan'51]

Wow Freddie Coleman, why you being such an A-hole! Hell, we'll get 4 wins in our division, let alone for the whole season. I HATE THESE MOTHERF$%&#$@%@

This^ was a bit of a Long read, but well worth it!

 

[DaveFan'51]

Can we make these the odds in sportsbook too please?

If We do this^ I'll be .. Well ...

 

[DaveFan'51]

VERDICT: UNDER

THIS^

 

[IowaRam]

Do I think the Rams have the "potental" to have a winning season. Yes

But untill Jeff Fisher proves me otherwise , I'm still going with 7-9

But I do have a conspiracy theory of how they can go 12-4

 

[DaveFan'51]

Complete morons. keenum won 3 last season and lost 2 by 3 points WITH missed field goals, and he can't win 5?!?!?

In fairness, if they don't hold a TRUE QB competition and just crown Goff, crap could get ugly. NOT saying it will, but we've been here before.

And the Rams Lost a Total of (3) Games by 3 points last year! Goff, himself, I think, will bring us 4 more Wins! Not counting how well things will go with Gurley playing ALL 16 games!:yess:

I listen to a lot of Freddie Coleman on ESPN radio late night on the way home from work and he's usually got solid takes.
In this case however he doesn't have a freaking clue. Like i said before last season, the Rams will win more than 4 or 5 games on accident...or by sleepwalking through the season. This is a default 7-8 win team(as usual) with a chance to get 9, 10 or 11 wins with elevated QB play.

Me too...Been listening to Freddie Coleman off and one, for years. Just the other night he was askig for predictions for the upcoming seaon, because he wasn't for sure about it yet..Now, he slams the Rams through ignorance. He looks at the 4 starters lost on defense with no one (basically) drafted to replace them. This alone shows that he is regurgitating what other say, who also don't know. None of these guys mention that Chris Long and James L. were slower.less productive, and more injury prone than 3 years ago. Then they question whether Quinn will be what he was two years ago? They don't know that because Jenkins was taking too many chances for Pick 6 INTS a couple of years back, that he also got burned for TD's, and that many wanted Joyner over him because of it (before last season)...We'll miss Rodney McCleod but I am confident that Williams will scheme fit to these guys strengths...William Hayes was better than 2015 version of Chris Long, and Ogletree is a faster, just as smart option at MLB, and Ogletree has been replaced at his old position by tweener Mark Barron...Again, these "experts" think Barron was overpaid and can't do the job because he is too light, despite what he did last year on Ogletree's absence.

They are no knowledge having, stupid opinion echoing, sons-a-biatches!!!!!

They also won two games by 3 points, so they have just as easy gone 5-11

Man everybody sleeping on us. We'll show them.

I wonder what their preseason over/under prediction was for the Rams in 99?

"Let's see, since moving to St. Louis they've been 7-9, 6-10, 5-11, and 4-12, therefore we will divide 22 wins by 4 years and get 5.5 wins for the 99 season."

Since that worked out so well...

"Over the last four seasons under Jeff Fisher, the Rams have 27 wins divided by 4 which comes out to almost 7 wins a season...heck there was a tie in there somewhere, let's be generous and make it 7.5."

Yeah, some people get stuck on that previous year's win total. They fail to realize that a young team returning most their players is going to improve. They think "Well, they won 7, returning most the players and broke even on the net gain/loss in free agency. That must mean they'll win 7 again". Those players from the year before are going to get better. Short sighted people don't think things through. And that last guy didn't even give a reason why he thinks its under. Not exactly a knowledgeable analyst.

 

[Ramatik]

I'm taking the over. Jenkins is not a loss.

Look at what this team has:

Great Running Back
Great Defense (I still contend, you'll see)
Good Young Line that just needs to stay healthy this year.
Good Young QB.
Somebody is going to pop up in the recvng ranks
Good solid coaching staff
Great Owner.

Oh yeah, this is going to be a good year.

I wish someone would compile a video of all these prognosticators who deem this a losing club so we can send it to all of them at the end of the year.

With that said, every offseason for a dozen years I've felt positive about this team only to get my hopes dashed early in the season. At least last year we opened with the Shehawk win... though the young OLine did give me pause.

This year I vow to temper my enthusiasm until I see how the rookies perform. I think the OLine again will be the real key to the season again and at least we now have decent depth there.

9 wins is my target

[StevenG-BR]

As a fan, give me the OVER all day long.

If I'm actually betting big money... sorry, but I'll take the under. Until Fish proves his team can even finish .500...why wouldn't I take the under?

 

[LesBaker]

I'll take the Over.

And ESPN can suck my big, fat, veiny DNA rifle.

Anyone else think HeiseNBerg is an awesome poster but is afraid to like this post.

:eek:

OK I'll bite.......let's hear it!

Ditto, my interest is peaked!!?!!

And the 3-13 team could have just as easy gone winless, and the 13-3 team could have just as easy gone undefeated etc etc. Pretty pointless stuff.

The Rams have been and look to be a middle of the pack .500 team until it changes with elevated QB play. Knowledgeable, agenda"less" football minds realize this and also recognize that a 4 win prediction is, in my words....dumb.

As i said before and i stand by it...the Rams win 4 games just by showing up, so to speak. They aren't a bottom feeder type team anymore that has to work hard to win 4 games.

You've been nailing it lately @Mojo Ram
It's like Blutarsky popped a big zit and wisdom is coming out, instead of, you know, white puss and stuff.
