Patriots are favored.
Patriots are playing their best football of the year.
Patriots have the experience.
Patriots have been winning in the trenches.
Tom Brady is the GOAT.
The Rams are only in the big game because of a blown call.
Todd Gurley seems off.
Belichick has two weeks to dissect the Rams' offense.

I get it. The Rams are not supposed to win... again. They've gone beyond where they were projected to go, but now its time for it to end.

I don't care about all that.

We've been on a ride with this team since the Summer, and we've seen them do some special things. They've amazed us and even surprised us at times.

So we're not supposed to win. I get it.

But we can win.

And I'm going to make this call: we will.

Rams 31
Patriots 26

Gosh darn it. Can you ever give me a cigar game so I don't chew my fingers off?

Man, I'd love a blowout... but I have to show the Pats some respect.

Just get the win!

I was there with you. No longer. Sure hope Im wrong.

Remember Atlanta was on pace for a blowout and then had that epic collapse. If LA is in that same position, they must recall that and continue with the pressure and go for the kill early in the second half.

Everyone except 'sea turtles' are calling this a close game and a Boston victory.

But they haven't played us yet. It's all about who is bigger, stronger and better schemed up front. If it's us, then we have a fighters chance.

I believe the game would have been viewed differently had the ref not missed that call in NOwhereLAnd. I've seen the 'underdogs beat Brady please' bunch diminish since the CC game due to the over saturation and biased butt-hurt spin over that 1 blown call. Folks don't want to jump on our brand as it became clouded / tainted.

The only way to get over is to go up against the world and win this thing. A lot riding on a bunch of youngin's in their first trip to the show.

The "everyone's against us" mantra can, however, be a rallying cry. I also believe that some players may play looser when they're not expected to win.

With the right mindset. And I have a feeling McV will have them in the right mindset.

I honestly feel the Rams have more talent and it will come down to who does the best job of game planning and coaching-a huge challenge for McVay but he can get'er done!
