Is there any reason for Stafford to play tonight?

Yes, they will be the 5 seed if they win out and SF loses next week. The 5 seed holds a lot of value. I’m pretty sure they’d also hold the tiebreaker over Sea if Sea loses next week.

Two Rams' wins and a San Franciso loss next week (vs. Seatle) would result in the Rams moving up to the #5 seed. (maybe a Seatle loss too?)

The #5 seed will play either Carolina or Tampa Bay. The #6 seed will probably play Philadelphia.

The Rams also own the Atlanta' #1 pick in next year's draft. So, an Atlanta loss on MNF gets a better spot in the draft.


Good point on the draft pick value. I forgot about that. It’s not even fair the Rams could have a top 10 pick.

I’ll be rooting for Atl, since them winning out helps the Panthers.

He may sit next week

Historically McVay has been inclined to rest starters the week prior to playoffs regardless of WC seeding.


I’m assuming you have this worked out, but I’m guessing the projected spread difference between the 5/6 seeds is around 2 TDs net.


My current lines Rams against field:

LAR -9.5
CAR

LAR -8.5
TB

LAR
PHI -1

LAR -3 ev
GB

LAR -2
SEA

LAR -3.5
CHI

LAR -3 ev
SF

For Stafford to lock up MVP. Would be a shame if a schedule merchant won an MVP.


I look forward to Drake playing a division winner schedule next year and still being an MVP candidate.


Let's see how Stafford looks tonight. 3+TDs and he locks it up. Rams win with no INTs close to locking it up. Mediocre/bad game I'd lean Stafford but Maye gets the East Coast eye.

Stafford 68% atm on Kalshi.


It definitely didn’t occur to me at all that the rams have a direct interest in the falcons losing

That’s a bummer man


I think one reason dyar doesn't like maye as much besides opponent adjustment is it devalues big plays as not predictive.

Herbert is sitting for the season finale against the Broncos.

whos of usses predicted for the first time in league history jerseys 50 thru 70 on the offensive side were collectively scratched from the record

charbaughers outta should just go on and take their next polarizing multi-meter polling terminal results and convert them into a scheme on the same circut as the grego roman 7 on 11 salt and buttery slurpee wrasslin tournament machine lead by sir trey lance riding horseback mostly roughshod but sometimes delicate when appropriate upon a mile high hypothetical of broken quarterhorse ankle hooves


Woof. Odds completely flipped, Maye now the big fav.

Drake will be MVP so long as he doesn’t **** the bed

Who gets more this offseason…Bijan or Gibbs?

Guessing whoever signs second?


I’d be tempted to have the Chargers lower given their injuries

Probably Bijan, since his coach keeps calling him the best player in the league.


I love Gibbs and he made money on season wagers (receiving and also rushing) but Bijan takes the mustard.

Yep, plus Falcons have almost no star players whereas the Lions have about 5


by GusJohnsonGOAT m

Only way he is winning is if Stafford shits the bed tonight. Getting an end-of-season primetime game is a cheat code for awards.

Welp, Stafford moved from -200 to +300


Stafford aint it man.

He probably would’ve only thrown 3 touchdowns vs the Jets.
