The Rams have lost every game they "should" win (odds favorite in the home opener) and lost every game since (odds underdog in each game since). Now before the pedants storm in to remind me that the odds-favorite is aligned toward betting action, NOT who Vegas thinks to win, let me say this:
The Rams were not favored in the last 3 games. I think they weren't because very few bettors believed the Rams were capable of anything after the embarrassing nationally-televised niner loss, NOT because the bettors have watched an analyzed the Rams games themselves. They relied mostly on sports media to make that decision. And yes, the sports media HATES the Rams as any sort of favorite. Coming into yesterday, most guys had them in the low to mid 20s in the power rankings. Maybe they'll even stay there at 3 and 1! But I like being the underdog and flying under the radar.
That said, here's the bad news: the Rams are (eep) favored this week @LA, by just a point or two, vs. the Bills. This is dire news. It's a Rams "should-win", the first one since week 1.

I think they are still an 7 win team...I'm not moving off that until they get Gurley together and if Keenum continues to improve. This defense is what it is and has been under Fisher. We are in good shape there
Heck Max we are oldtimers man. Neither of us should be shocked by yesterday. Not at all.... here's the shocker if the Rams actually now turn around and best the Bills at home like they should.
If they don't want to be a 7 win team you best the Bills at home
This is a huge game dude
