I think this one gets over the 49.
NE's # 1 & 2 CBs are out, in their place are an undrafted rookie and a 2nd year nickel back. They're young, and STL will obvioulsy look to exploit them, as Pitt did last week. Corey Dillon may or may not play. That could mean even more passing. It's on Turf. Players have more speed. Plus, there has to be some element of Revenge on the Rams part from SB 36 and they won't take it easy. They'll keep coming at the Pats. I think it'll be a good, back and forth sorta game, as NE is too good of a team to be just lay down like many are predicting.
I see a final of 33-27.
