Jeff, the Rams will never go 8-8 this season. They are HORRBIBLE, sure they have the weakest division in the NFL but they still wont get it done this season. 5 wins AT MOST!

I love wagering on NFL. The unfortunate part is that I’ve lost about $ three this month. I think the most enjoyable part is doing the research and using research to find holes in the odds.
