So I guess I will bet the Under, yes?

Rams are definitely better on paper than the Titans. I still think we passed our toughest offseason opponent last night though.

Stafford has also been a very mistake laden Quarterback for most of the year. I think our victory hinges on making him turn the ball over. Guy had like 4 pick sixes this year if not more.

No doubt our coaches are going to be tested. The Rams Dline is serious business.

I posted this elsewhere, but it merits posting in this thread, since so many Bengals fans were thinking hte 49ers would be a much easier opponent.

The reality is, based on overall, regular season statistics, the 49ers have a much better defense and a marginally better offense than the Rams.

The 49ers were the 3rd best defense in the league based on yards/game, versus the Rams who were 17th. The also had a better defense in terms of scoring and their pass defense, in terms of yards per game, was 6th versus the Rams 26th.

On offense, the 49ers were 7th in yards/game and the Rams 9th.

Add to this the fact that SF fans are like Dallas and Pittsburgh fans -- they would dominate the stadium.

And look at how the 49ers shut down Rogers in Green Bay and Prescott in Dallas.

17 picks through 17 games in the regular season... that is a lot.

Only 1 pick in the postseason. Should've had 2 or 3 yesterday alone mind.

He always talks highly of the two NFL teams he played for the Bengals and the browns.
