hitter.....i was thinking the same thing....i grabbed the 8......i really think that the rams might just be the weakest link in the nfc playoff group.....i know they have a fantastic home field advantage.....but i don`t think they are very physical...
i watched the ravens,in a night game earlier this year,push them all over the field....literally dominate the line of scrimmage....the rams won because they got every break,every fluky play possible.....and i liken the panthers to the ravens....a physical,tough running team....
the difference between the ravens and the panthers is that the ravens have a better secondary......but,the panthers have a much better defensive line....much better....and they will pressure bulger.....and bulger makes mistakes....the panthers also have a much better passing game than the ravens if the rams stack the line.......steve smith and mushin muhammad can do some damage....
i think the only team left in the playoffs that the rams beat,much less played,was the packers....and the pack backed in....
i think 8 is fairly substantial...could they get blown out?...sure....but i`ll take the 8 and take my chances....
