Unless the Rams get extra points for really long FGs they will lose.

I actually think St. Louis will win this one. They have an underrated defense and are playing at home. Also remember this is a divisional game which are normally played tighter. Arizona has looked relaly great on D as well, but I can see them making mistakes and letting this one get away.

[gabefergy]

On another note, I am very much looking forward to the Pitt - Philly game. Has Pittsburgh's defense made the improvements necessary to contain a dangerous Eagles defense? What about the Steelers O-line. How ill it hold up against one of the best D-lines in the game. It should be a fun game to watch.

Never know. Steelers are coming off a bye, so you have to think they will look pretty good. Then again Philly looked really good against the Giants.

...I'm gonna punch someone in the throat. Instead of being able to watch the Ravens game, I get to watch Cleveland play the Giants.

I don't wanna go to a bar to see the game... feh. Stupid lack of home market...

I think the Rams definitely have a chance. Arizona owns one of, if not the worst OL in the NFL. If St. Louis can produce a pass rush from anyone other than Chris Long, Kevin Kolb could be in for a long afternoon. I see it being a tightly contested game.

Don't worry, Eli Manning and Deion Sanders will come to your house and give you an awesome deal on Sunday Ticket.

IT'S ON!

[Ed_Reed20]

I see the Jets getting shut out again.

[RavensPunkXVX]

I see the Rams winning this one as well. A little pressure on Kolb and we could see bad Kolb. The addition of Cortland Finnegan was big for the Rams and I'm sure he'll be matched with Fitz. Should be an entertaining game, I'm unsure of who to choose for my picks!

Well that's a given. But here's the real question. Will their offense give up more points than their defense???

Steelers at home coming off a bye? I think they're going to roll the Eagles (sure would like to be wrong, though).

[berad]

Italicized for you

[TreTheRaven]

Be nice to see Pitt lose, but with Harrison and Troy coming back home -- I don't see it happening.

[JO_75]

Does Sanchez get benched during the Monday Night Game?

[raybaby]

I'm actually really interested to see how Tim Tebow would do starting for the Jets lol. I feel bad for Sanchez though because he literally has no one around him on offense.

And for the fact that he sucks as a QB and started something like 7 games in College. Nice pick, Jets! Oh, and you extended him $40M to save some cap for ONE year. Congrats, to you guys!!!!!

Just saw this on Rotoworld, Rams will allow Steven Jackson to test the Open Market in 2013.

If that is the case, they should try to trade him before the deadline to see if they can get value for him instead of letting him walk and get nothing.

[/quote]Finnegan is a very solid corner but his best skill is getting into the heads of opposing receivers which won't work against Fitz.

Lol their GM sucks.

[1/28/01]

Wow, nice catch!

[JO_75]

4 passes, 3 of them complete including a Touchdown pass. Bradford just torched the Cardinals defense on the first drive.

[wikle]

i wonder if the cards offense can keep up. doubt it

I doubt they get more than the compensatory pick they would get anyways.

[JO_75]

Larry Fitzgerald only needs 140 yards to get to 10,000 receiving yards in his career.

[JO_75]

Can you guys believe how much the NFC West has changed. It seems it has been years since everyone bashed them for having a 7-9 playoff team and being a weak division, now they are a strong division.

[gabefergy]

Ryan Williams looks good
