The St. Louis Rams are a -300 favorite to win 5 ½ games or fewer at betED.com.
Few people think this team will get anywhere in 2010-2011.
There is nothing at all to suggest the Rams will improve this season and everything suggests that a -300 on the UNDER 5 ½ regular season wins might actually be worth the price. The Rams, after all, have only won 6 regular season games in the past 3 years.
Oklahoma’s Sam Bradford will become the franchise quarterback….but he probably won’t be able to salvage this season.
Regarding Sam Bradford, the Athlon Scouting Report writes:
“It’ll be a big challenge for Sam Bradford. He’s shown there’s some durability questions, and if you’re not protecting him well, there’s a chance you’ll lose him. Their next-biggest issue is their offensive line. They need to get that taken care of as well. … Bradford’s got a chance to be a Pro Bowl talent. He was the No. 1 player on our board. If he were sitting there for us, there was no chance we would pass him up. … One of the things they have going for them is that there’s a good relationship between the coach and the GM. … Chris Long has the motor and up-tempo style of play. But it’ll take him a little while to develop the position-specific stuff. He was a little light, and some of the things you get away with in college, he couldn’t get away with in this league. … James Laurinitis is a guy who jumps out at you. He’s not so much a thumper as an athlete. If they keep him free to run and roam and hit, he could be very productive.”
