00:00battle and NFC West battle Seattle and the LA Rams. Scott, two weeks ago I told you the

00:11price for the LA Rams was in the area of 790 to make the playoffs. They're down to plus

00:16320 with back-to-back wins over the Raiders and their Thursday night performance over

00:22Minnesota. Really like the way this team is playing offensively, obviously, but the defense

00:28is holding opponents as well. They're holding them to field goals and not touchdowns, especially

00:32in the second half of ballgames. I like Sean McVeigh. I think that's a pretty good price

00:37and more importantly, like them in their game this weekend against Gino. Oh man, Gino.

00:44Yeah, I do like that to make the postseason. That's still, you know, it's not as good as

00:48it once was, but more and more people are hopping on the Rams bandwagon and the fact

00:52that they're basically pick them as a slight favorite, you know, on the road in Seattle

00:57really tells you how much they, they appreciate this team. So with Puka back and, and you

01:02know, Cooper Cup back, which was a surprise this past week, I mean, that's a halfway decent

01:07football team. I'll be curious to see if they make any moves at the trade deadline. Cause

01:11they are a, you know, they're an organization that have shown that they're willing to do

01:14whatever it takes to actually win. Whereas some, some teams just sit back and say, whatever.

01:19I don't know, not comfortable laying, you know, point point and a half on the road,

01:23but do I think they're a better team than Seattle? Yeah, I do.

01:26I like LA. Would you take, I would take a flyer to NFC West at five to one. They have

01:35the head to head against San Francisco. They won that match up 27, 24. So they have the

01:40head to head Scottie, right? So why wouldn't you take the five to one? I know Arizona playing

01:45better. Seattle's got the same price. I mean, I don't, I don't buy into Seattle after starting

01:50out three and oh, I never thought that they were better than, you know, a 500 football

01:55team at best eight wins, maybe nine top. I think the Rams went healthy to beat anybody.

02:02Yeah. Uh, you get a few extra points there if you want them to win the division. But

02:07if McCaffrey comes back, like it looks like he is, and then I just get a little healthier

02:12that they are still the class. I mean, they, they are like the other teams we talked about

02:16are capable of going eight and one, the rest of the way. And I don't know if the Rams would,

02:19but I would put a happy unit on each, you know, take a little, you know, maybe three

02:23quarters on make the post season and then a quarter on when the division.
