Why anyone would bet on this prior to free agency and the draft is beyond me, but my money is definitely on the Rams with this one.

Way too early but it’s an understandable number.
It is. Our oline isn't fixed with a LT that's a year older (assuming he re-signs with us) and are likely losing an important edge rusher (Fowler) and maybe our MLB.

We don't have a 1st round pick and we play the 49ers and Hawks 2 times each next year. I hope that Snead will pull some gems out of his nether region, but Vegas doesn't operate on faith that way...

We could have a few great picks/acquisitions for the Oline that would change things significantly, imo. But Vegas looks at the Rams with a dispassionate fish eye and looks at us without hope/faith. They look at what is, and not what we hope we'll be.

What say you that I can roll over my $39 K to next season? Especially since I gained most of it in 2020 by wearing out your sports book?

We also didnt have a first round pick in 2017 and vegas thought we were gonna suck when we hired McVay. What was our over under win total that season? I think it was 6 or even 5.5. I think our big FA additions were aging OL Whitworth, John Sullivan ,CB Robey Coleman and WR Robert Woods and the great LB Connor Barwin. We ended up 11-5. McVay just has to tweak the offense, we need to stay healthier and the young OL pieces needs to gel more. Also need another workhorse RB along with Gurley and Henderson. Draft well at DE/OLB. I think we are good despite playing in the best division in the NFL again

In March of each year after the first rounds of free agency, I have made my prediction at work since McVay was hired.

2017 - I stated 10 - 6. I got a lot of shit for that but look how it turned out.
2018 - I stated 13 - 3 (or 12 4 if the last game is meaningless). I was spot on.
2019 - I stated 10 - 6. My friend at work said - that much of a drop and I stated that yeah its going to be that way unfortunately. If not for a really crappy call at Pittsburgh that wasn't overturned, Rams would have been 10 - 6. And we possibly could have won a couple other games if not for a couple bad plays (Zuerleins missed field goat, Rapps visiting the sideline for no reason)

2020 - I will post after the first week of free agency. But I predict right now - no worse than 9 wins
