into going from "hoping for" a win to "expecting" a win as the week goes by.
Knock yourself out if you want, but I dunno, fellas.
I think there are a lot of headwinds going into this one.
Rams are coming off of a 2 game win streak. They tend not to sustain those.
Rams are playing their 2nd straight road game. Even good teams often end up splitting 2 game road trips.
Rams are coming off a heat/humidity game down in Tampa that went long.
Rams dline was shorthanded and may have emptied their tank, temporarily, in Florida.
Rams still haven't proven that they can establish the run this year, and control a game, and the clock.
Cardinals are embarrassed and angry. Everybody's questioning them. This is gut check time for a very tough team.
Arians has set the tone for expectations with personnel moves.
Palmer and Fitz know the Rams and have racked up big numbers against them in the past. They are the leaders on that team.
Sorry, but I have to go into this counting it as a loss already.
If I'm wrong, so much the better. But I live in Arizona amidst the Card fans.
