Verse for today...
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16
Los Angeles Rams vs. Cincinnati - I can see this game going in one of two directions.
1) The Bengals stay in the game by having either no turnovers or maybe one turnover. Rams QB Matt Stafford is somewhat prone to turnovers and has a critical one late in the game. The Bengals capitalize and score late to win a close game.
2) The Rams pass rush completely overwhelms the Bengals offensive line, especially by putting Aaron Donald directly across from the Bengals right guard who is a weak link. That forces a couple of turnovers. Matt Stafford limits his turnovers to one, and the Rams pull away in the second half.
So, which way do I think it will go? I think the Bengals will hang tough, but the Rams are comfortable playing in their home stadium, and the Bengals offensive line just doesn't have the talent to give Joe Burrow enough time to consistently throw to his wide receiver weapons. Make no mistake about it. The Rams will score a significant number of points in this game. The Bengals defense is opportunistic, but not that good, so it will be up to the Bengals offense to keep up, and I just don't see them being able to do it.
I'll take the Rams 31-20 as the Bengals combination of luck and skill finally runs out.
May God always be your number 1 draft pick!
