Never bet on or against your favourite teams. It's a recipe for disaster.

Definitely not normal, but it's a wholly fascinating place. Been obsessed with it since I was a kid. The history, mystique, all of it. Plus it's only a stone's throw away from the most beautiful place on Earth, that being Zion National Park. And it's even closer to one of the coolest places on Earth: Death Valley.

Usually stay on Fremont because it has what's left of the old school character of the city. The Strip can fuck itself. There's more character in a square foot of the worn carpet at Binion's than there is in the entirety of places like the Bellagio.

I stay away from The Strip and their 10$ Budweiser's In 2017 we stayed at The El Capitaine on Freemont. Got there on a Monday and all you had to do was walk out on the street and it was a party. Street performers, rock bands, hot girls with a thong and just Band Aids on their nipples walking around taking pictures with the tourists. Also. giant jacked up dudes in thongs for the ladies walking around too. It was pretty raunchy during the week. Got near the weekend and was cleaned up for the families.
So I found a 5$ Blackjack table at the El Capitaine. Dealer was cool and talking to us. We were staying even, winning a little and these 2 GOONS show up and the are mad at the dealer. This guy pounds his fist on the table and emphatically says "THIS IS THE EL CAPITINE" !!!
And the 2 Guido's grab him, one on each arm and drag him off ! Seemed like something that would happen in the old mob days to us.
We got the hell out of there. It was a good trip. Our rooms seemed clean and all but my wife,s friend had a room in a different tower.
She brough home bedbugs. No fun.
After about 3-4 days the place starts to wear on us. We live in this beautiful place with mountains, Redwoods, ocean and rivers. That dry air sucks all the moisture out of you and looking at the mountains, nothing but baren rocks gets depressing.
But the drive though the desert can be interesting. Going through those tiny little towns with old wooden buildings wondering what people do with their time there. Going by The Shady Lady, a triple wide trailer with big rigs in the parking lot !
And a swear south of Hawthorn there is this HUGE mountain range, it must be the backside of Mt Whitney.

And how many other cities can you find such open debauchery in? What a place!

Ha, fantastic. And yeah, bed bugs are no good, and they can be a problem not just as less expensive places, gotta worry about them everywhere. I always bring a small, bright flashlight with me and lift the corners of the bed and bedding to check for little crawlers before committing to the room. Thankfully have never brought any bugs back from anywhere.

Just curious though, do you mean the El Cortez just off Fremont? I love that place. Bugsy Siegel's first casino! I've never stayed overnight but have done plenty of gambling there. The first bet I ever placed in Vegas was at Binion's. Just a bunch of 21-year-old university kids looking to rub shoulders with some famous poker players during the last final table ever held there.

I get that, I love the desert though. Probably because it's so different from home. Can't stand the cold and the winter. I'd love to live in a place like Nevada or Arizona.

Agreed 100 per cent. And the little ghost towns and whatnot. Ever visited the Amargosa Opera House in Death Valley Junction? What a creepy place. Had to stop by and check it out because David Lynch used it as a filming location for Lost Highway.
 
The most important thing for the Rams is to avoid is NFC losses, especially within the division. With the NFC North beating each other up, their records will come back to earth.
Tiebreakers are gonna be what decides the Rams fate if they don’t win out—and that’s not realistic.

Packers, Cowboys, 9ers, and of course, zona this Sunday.
…and that just makes the 2 games against the seahawks at the end of the year a probable play-in for one of these teams. I don’t see both making the playoffs.
 
If I had to bet everything I own and put bias aside, I'd probably bet on the Rams not making the playoffs. Too many injuries and tougher teams after the bye.

For the Rams to make the playoffs and make a run they will need their horses back. The only ones out for sure are Ford and Watson. I’m hopeful they go 3-1 over the next 4 games:5 weeks and then unleash the beast. Even if they go 2-2 I see a glimmer of hope they can run the rest of the table.

McVay’s Rams are not great when front running the division or the conference.

McVay’s “chips are down” Rams are usually the better Rams.

Chips are WAY down. Could get interesting.
Maybe Vegas isn’t paying attention historically.

My take exactly. We have injuries. That's all the odds makers pay attention to. We have a very talented team. If the Rams get a chip on their shoulders they can still compete. I'd take this roster as it stands over a lot of team rosters out there. Let's see if they can dig in.

we have a team of walking wounded and recovering injured players dragging the team on a perilous journey. go Rams!
 
Tomorrow's game is a must win. Do that and get at least one win over the next 3 and they got a shot. By the time they play Dallas they'd be 7-6 and should be as healthy as they've been all year. Puka and Adams will be back. Garrett and Donald will have more time to acclimate each other. If they're fully healthy by the time they play Seattle they could sweep them. Seattle is vulnerable with their offensive problems.

Gamblers thought they were going to the SB, as recently as 6 weeks ago, even after a slow start. So not putting much credence in that kind of stuff.

I don’t think 11 and 6 will get them in. 12 and 5 will still take a tie breaker.

Nah, the NFC North teams have to lose to each other. Plus a number of them still play Buffalo and New England. Minn plays the Niners, GB plays the Rams, which might be a must win for LA.

So there are losses to be had.
 
had we beaten the cards in the first meeting we would now be the 7th seed...

sigh....

this week looks like a must win to me....

go rams
