Hopefully Jackson will be utilized more in this game. Can't have 50 passing passing so much every week.

Clayton will be smothered by Nnamdi. I don't see Bradford having a good game against the Oakland defense. I gotta go with Oakland here.

 

[Point Blank]

I went with St. Louis.

Can't imagine how this gem wasn't the Monday night game.

This could go either way obviously. But I'll take Jackson> McFadden and Rams (depleted and lackluster) WR's are pretty much equal to the Raiders.

Oakland has the better defense, but lets not talk like the Raiders have a top defense that changes games...

I see the Rams doing the same thing as the Titans and shoving Jackson down there throat.

Still will probably be close though. Rams 23 -Raiders 21

I actually think the Raiders contained CJ pretty well last week except for one big 76 yard run i think it was. Branch just missed the tackle on that one. I take Oakland in this one and i think Zach Miller will have a great game. Cambell is going to do a lot of check downs to Miller and McFadden, but hopefully he can get DHB and Murphy involved. I think the Raiders Defense will keep the STL offense in check save for a few big plays.

From what I saw of the Raiders last week, they are a mess. Campbell running around like a chicken without a head, bonehead mistakes, OL miscues.

This is another winnable game for the Rams, but give Spags a way to lose and he will.

Raiders 20 Rams 19

Not too confident about this one.

Raiders OL already looks like the worst in the league.

Can't win many games when your offense scores 10-13 points.

I think the D will hold their own but the offense needs to score 20 if the Raiders want to win.

I'll say....

Raiders 20
Rams 17

Titans didn't shove CJ down our throat he was contained all game except for one run.....But our offense looked as horrible as I have ever seen it constantly putting our defense in bad situations I wouldn't be surprised if we lossed, if our offense plays like last week I expect a loss but I think we improve slightly....

my prediction
17-14 Raiders

Hopefully Tom Cable will make some changes to the O-Line that started last Sunday, all in all I see a close game but the Raiders should win it with their home advantage.

 

[stevsta]

depending on if the rams coaches dont go into this game drunk like last week the rams can win this game if they do show up and turn our offense into pass first were doomed

I'm going to be watching this 4 oclock game. I got McFadden, Zach Miller and Oakland defense in one of my leagues and my opponent has Jackson and Rams defense on the other side.

Hopefully will make an otherwise boring game interesting. I expect lots of punting from both sides.

In a battle of supposedly improved garbage teams, I'll take the homer pick.

Things i'll be watching closely in this game:

-Rams o-line play. All in all, I though they looked pretty good as a group. Bradford was sacked twice, but both were on exotic blitzes where DB's were coming hard. Rams converted all of their 3rd & shorts. Rookie RT Roger Saffold was so good, I forgot Joey Porter was even playing until he was crying to a ref in the second half.

-Raiders o-line play. I watched a decent amount of the Raiders last week, and the o-line looked pretty bad. Penalties, Jason Campbell running for his life and overall sloppiness. It seems like Robert Gallery is playing a new position every time I watch this team.

-Darren McFadden. I think the Bush injury is the best thing to happen to the Raiders in a long time, because with Fargas gone, McFadden is finally THE man. And he looked very good Week 1. The Rams were gashed by bums Hightower & Stevens-Howling for long gains last week on the edge, McFadden could go apeshit if the o-line can get him around the corner.

-Craig Dahl. I love this guy, he flies to the ball and is a hitter. I think he's better than James Butler, who really brings nothing special to the table other than being one of Spags garbo ex-Giants castoffs. I want Dahl to keep making plays, and push Butler out of the picture at Safety opposite Otogwe.

St Louis has a chance to show me they are taking a step forward with a good performance. But picked Oakland,OLine will play better.

 

[CCBrink]

Chris Long will have 2 sacks this game.

 

[Nukleopatra]

Sam Bradford doing work.....again.

He'll improve as the weeks go by, win or lose. 2011 will be our year.
