TV Map: The game is shown in the local markets and a few others, including Colorado and Boston.

This is exactly the weird kind of game Fisher’s Rams do sometimes win, so who knows.


Opponent's Fan Forums
They expect to win, but are also on a two game losing streak. Not surprisingly, Fisher’s Rams as a dirty team comes up. And, they sure hate the Ravens.

I've been forced to choose.

btw: I have now won TWO Suicide pools this year. That is a fairly hard feat: just to be honest. Yay for me!!!! Also, I have a personal rule which I anuonce to my pools: I Never ever choose against the Rams. I will never ever ever in my life choose the Rams to lose.

Now, consider that I WON a sucide pool in 2011. smile. YEP! It happend.

I also play an NFC W choose a winner game this year: which I am winning.

I am choosing Rams this week. Not because I think they will win, but it just seems the kind of game Fisher wins. And, if I'm wrong, well.....it's what everyone is saying. Rams lose.

If you stack it up, our talent is there. We just are not our talent Our coaches are horrible. We have no game play.

It's the exact game we win.

Yeah, I know the rams have looked pretty bad lately, but this is the type of game they've been known to win. On the surface it looks like a mismatch. Then all of a sudden they get big plays on special teams and defense. Unexpected touchdowns from them. Offense actually makes a play. Then all of sudden its a big win. They're due for one.

Updated betting line - now 8.5 instead of 9

[Hacksaw]

Damn 2 tackles and our stud DE looking to be out. Looks like Foles too.

[RedAlice]

Yep, looks like Foles.

[Hacksaw]

At least we have your Avi since 94 is likely out of the game. lol

Another injury update: Zuerlein is listed as Questionable. He's not on the injury report, so must've happened today - I received a FF line-up alert.

Per Rotoworld:

Rams K Greg Zuerlein (groin) was limited in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Week 12.
He must have suffered an injury during Friday's session, because Zuerlein wasn't on the injury report Wednesday or Thursday. The Rams will have to sign a kicker before Sunday if it's determined that Zuerlein can't kick.

I hear Mike Lansford is available. Not that GZ was tearing it up, but his isn't good.
