Rams at Packers Divisional Thread - Your pick?

[Zod]

It must be daunting to go against Aaron Rodgers in a game like this. 

 

I mean, it isn't like you can say "yeah, we are really going to fool him in this coverage"

[LinvilleGorge]

I'll be shocked if the Rams are competitive in this one.

The bye is such a huge advantage. Rams might keep it close for a quarter or so while Green Bay knocks the rust off, but the Packers win this game.

An unbelievable advantage. Since 1990, 47 of the 60 teams appearing in the Super  Bowl had a playoff bye.  Meanwhile, only 13 of the 232 teams playing in the first round of the playoffs have made it to the Super Bowl. That will change now that there's only one bye team per conference, but under the two team bye rules, you barely had over a 5% chance to make the playoffs if you had to play in the first week.

They had a bunch of guys get dinged up last week. I'm honestly not buying that "knee contusion" for Kupp. It looked like he blew his knee out. Won't shock me after they get blown out today that "further testing reveals Kupp suffered a torn ACL".

Jenkins the Packer LG did a nice job on Donald on that run up the middle. Another solid IOL taken right after Little. SMH. 

[Mr. Scot]

Early drives can be deceiving, but the Packers are looking a lot better than the Rams right now.

Packers will walk this.

Rams limped past the Seahawks last week and Goff still has a broken thumb.

He walked to the private jet earlier today - they wouldn't be allowing him to walk around if he had a torn ACL. 

[Zod]

Good game so far.

[Mr. Scot]

Yeah, Rams did a lot better on their second drive.

[DC Amp]

I'm pulling for the Rams but would put money on the Packers if I had to choose.
