St. Louis Rams @ Detroit Lions Week 5 NFL Football Free Pick

October 9, 2010 by admin

St. Louis Rams @ Detroit Lions Week 5 NFL Football Free Pick: The Rams are the better team here, especially with Shaun Hill in the sling for the Lions. Hill does one thing well, however, he throws marshmallows up to Calvin Johnson and hopes for the best. More often than not, the best happens. Calvin Johnson is one of the best, and he could give the Rams some trouble – that’s for sure.

But this one will come down to match-ups, and I see the Rams ruling those situations. Detroit has a bad secondary – not mediocre, but bad. Sam Bradford is very accurate, not accurate for a rookie, just flat out accurate. With a secondary that prides themselves on leaving open lanes for QBs and WRs to party in, Sam should be able to spread the ball around freely and find Mark Clayton early and often.

The Lions have been a lot better up front against the run with the rookie beast, Mr. Suh – but they still aren’t a top-flight unit. Steven Jackson should find plenty of room to run, and the Rams should actually be the favorite to win their 3rd straight game after not even getting to 3 wins last season.

The “experts” are with me and the public is against me in this one, that’s not such a bad place to be, I guess. Defensively I think the Rams have an advantage, and in a game like this, that advantage might go a long way.

I like Lester's way of thinking.
Lester's not a jester...

Finally! Someone that knows what they are talking about. There's no way anyone is going to convince me that the LIONS are better than our RAMS!

GO RAMS!!!!!

as long as we keep their offense off the field I'm confident we get a "W." our defense is more effective when Bradford keeps the ball moving. I like our chances better than theirs. key is we keep turnovers to a serious minimum and we cut out those stupid mistakes.

One more advantage for the Rams...

They now know they can win, instead of hoping they'll win. If it's close at the half, the Rams will seal the deal in the second half, while the Lions wilt and choke another game away.
