The irony of this game is that it might cause the Rams to revert to old habits on offense. Last year, the Broncos were fairly stout against the run (yielding 4.0 ypc), but had a relatively weak pass rush (only 28 sacks). This year, they'll be without one of their better pass rushers, Trevor Pryce, and DE Courtney Brown is questionable for the game.

If Bulger has time to throw, the Rams may be tempted to return (though, perhaps briefly) to the pass oriented attack, and they could have success in this area.

Don't be shocked to see the Rams come out throwing early in an effort to get a quick lead (thereby putting pressure on Denver to throw the ball as well) and then settle into a more balanced attack.

Also - if the Rams can manage to isolate John Lynch on Kevin Curtis, look out!

I'm sticking with my pick:
