#30 Posted: 10/3/2012 11:21:31 AM Rams have given up 169 passing YPG the past 3 weeks but two of the three opponents have been SEA and WASH who are run-heavy teams. Arizona is anything but run-heavy and I'm not sure how this game will turn out given the short week for the cards but I like them.
I picked rams ml last week and banked on it...not so confident in that pick this week...
Leaning on CARDS here even on a short week... |

prior to reading, understand that I haven't hit a Thursday Night Game since they started Thursday Night Games...
but I think the Cards roll... their defense is real good and I believe just had a mulligan last week....
Plus they are favored by 1 so the home dawg angle that I usually play on prime time games is pretty irrelevant...... better team on a short week..... and they did beat the Patriots in Foxborough albeit Replacement Refs....
They should be able to handle the Rams...
Kolb breakout game?

Rams won against the seahawks on the virtue of russell wilson's young ineptitude. 3 picks leads to the seahawks getting slaughtered in the turnover battle and especially when you just aren't moving the ball through the air, that's a recipe to get slaughtered in the box score. Yet the hawks had a chance for a last drive comeback.
Meanwhile, the hawks D did everything they could to win that game, as the best unit on the field, but could only do so much while the rams were giftwrapped with field position all day and their kicker is capable of making good on mediocre field position.
All that said... again, zona's defense is the best unit on the field here, not close. The rams run defense was nothing special as lynch and turbin racked up a ton on the ground. Ryan williams should be able to put up a reasonable facimile of that performance, while Kolb has enough experience and much better weapons in the receiving game to keep from throwing up the disaster performance that wilson did. Kolb has also been a good game manager this year. Simply put, zona's passing game is a tier or two above the hawks at the QB and WR position.
Zona's cougher was last week against the fins, and I think they've been playing too well to expect another. A look at recent history shows that zona is 5-0 SU last 5 visits to the STL and 3-2 ATS there, but 3-0 ATS when laying 3 or less (or catching points). Overall, zona is 7-2 last 9 games vs. the rams.
Also, I don't remember the numbers but I've seen something about road favs of less than 3 sporting a pretty solid record and off a flip of that script, I don't think the numbers get beat in consecutive weeks by the same team. These Thursday games have been a little ugly, but week 1 notwithstanding, short prep time favors the better team and that's zona.
I put no stock in traveling east as this is in the middle of the day, much different than at 10 am. Bottom line, I'm a historic contrarian, but sometimes you just gotta go with the better team, even when the public sees what you're seeing.
CARDS ML
Not much of a totals player, but I have made some coin betting unders (4-0 so far) on inflated numbers, and as someone noted earlier, that's been the theme on Thursday. I cashed UNDER in green bay and carolina, both floating up around 50 (SEA/GB, WAS/TB were the other two under cashes if anyone cares). Well, it looks like a correction is in and the only way to play the total in my mind is the OVER. Don't know if i'll nut up and grab a slice as, like I said, totals ain't normally my thing, but it does look like the play here.

This spread should be higher but it's not and the public is only on the cards at 60 percent . Seems like more people are jumping on the rams band wagon..
Going Arizona 1st half and the game. |

*  * * EZ game to cap Imo with PhoeniX riding impressive winning streak @ St Loo . Hard to disagree ,these Cards are amongst Cream of the crop via Franchise history . Larry Corryel would be proud... Tonite's Best o' Cards , facing Rams in transition. Fisher will no doubt work things out in time, however vs Stingy Cards D, a bit too premature expecting Rams to score more than 16 unless Turn over blizzard caves in Domed Loo roof. Aint gonna happen. If anybody really believes Cards will not score more than 17 then Pump it ump Loo' $ way ! Don't believe for one second after playing @ home this early in the season that Cards may struggle due to short week after 2 hour plane ride to St Loo. May even work in Favor with Jekolb n' Hyde QB waking up to Superstar's Fitz G 's receiving capabilities. After sweating bullets watching Cards-Dolphs ML play , one thing is certain, Kolb appears to be made of Hot n' cold Cutler pedigree , capable of some God awful tosses ! There lies lone red Flag in tonite's game. Dr Jekolb or QB Hyde ? Cards D is solid yet possible Bradford may catch secondary Flat Footed as Tanhill did. However am bettin' Bradford n' Runin' Rams don't score more than 2 TD's considering St Loo 's lone TD vs Seattle was done with compliments of special teams,fake field goal. Bad news Rams : 6 sacks for- 14 against Rushing : 362 to 541 yrds First downs : 64 to 85 Cards total sacks : 16
Good news Rams : 12 for 12 Field Goal Kicking Machine.
No Fake refs factor,this hail Mary will be an interception, CARDS BY 6
CARDS 23 RAMS 17
BOLA $ $ ( 2 $ rated play) |

On the other hand, Arizona just won a tough OT game against the Dolphins and may come out flat on the short week here. I think the Rams are due to take one against Arizona, and that Arizona is more than due for a loss and a letdown.
Rams +2 and the Over. GL everyone. |
