Sunday, September 8th at 10am on Fox

It's finally time! After a kick-ass season with a frustrating finish, it's time to see our boys back on the field, back in our Sundays and back to dominating other teams.

Starting with the Panthers, who finished 7-9 and third in their division last year and who may be having some O-line issues as they face AD and the Rams D-line.

McVay has not lost a Week 1 game. Here's to that continuing on Sunday! Go Rams.

Rams and Panthers have played 20 times, with the Panthers up 12-8.

Betting Line: Rams are 3 pt road favorites

Rams:
Panthers: Cam Newton is not listed. Rookie OT Greg Little is still in concussion protocol and unknown if he will play.

NFL TV Map: Game is mainly the West plus the Carolinas, Florida and Missouri including St. Louis.

Wow! It looks like I'm getting the game in here in Central Florida!

So... here's what I'm thinking:

1. The Rams should win this one, but I think the Panthers need to be respected as a tough opponent, particularly in their house.

2. Christian McCaffrey is the Panthers' engine on offense. The Rams need to jam him at the line much in the way they did in the second half against Alvin Kamara in the playoffs.

3. I wonder how much Cam Newton will wish to run after tweaking his ankle in preseason.

So... my fearless prediction:

Rams 30
Panthers 20

Lawler obviously should not be on the depth chart.

It will be interesting to see if Obo is on the active roster.

Awww hell yessss!!



Football is back. Life just seems better. The weather feels nicer and that rash on my groi…...………….. ohhh let's leave that out.

Bring on that fool Cam. Our O-line worries me. Ya'll hear Kromer say about Noteboom and Allen as "its gonna be a work in progress".

But right now i'm just hype.
