00:00Let's go to the West here.
00:01I mean, obviously, the Super Bowl champions are there.
00:03And, boy, that Rams team, boy, they got their fannies kicked in the opener down under, man.
00:08I mean, who do you like here?
00:09Do you still like the Rams in this division?
00:13Absolutely.
00:14Yes, as you mentioned, they did not perform very well in Melbourne.
00:17They didn't gain themselves any Australian fans in that game.
00:20Looked very pedestrian.
00:21The only team in the entire week one, Dan, that didn't score more than 10 points.
00:26Now, if you told somebody that a couple months ago, they would laugh in your face and call you a
00:30crazy person.
00:31But I hate these international games to open the season.
00:36I know the NFL is trying to grow the sport across the world, but it just creates such a difficult
00:42situation for a lot of these teams.
00:43Now, you've got to go out and win the game, right?
00:45And the Niners did that.
00:46They looked great defensively.
00:47Fred Warner getting back in that unit obviously makes a massive difference.
00:50He's one of the best linebackers in the business.
00:52But I think the Rams still are going to be the cream of the crop.
00:55Losing Myles Garrett, we'll see how that plays out.
00:58But this team was great last year, and they didn't have Myles Garrett.
01:00So you're getting Aaron Donald back in the fold soon as well.
01:03Sam, I think Matthew Stafford's going to bounce back.
01:06And again, a pissed-off Rams team.
01:08This Monday night football matchup with the Rams and the Giants next week is super fascinating.
01:15Dan, when I looked at the opening lines, the Rams are still a touchdown favorite in this game at home.
01:20With what we saw from the Giants last week on primetime and then what we saw from the Rams, you're
01:25still getting that seven.
01:26I think the Rams are going to bounce back this week pretty big.
01:29Maybe the Giants gets a little bit of money there and push that to a little bit of a six
01:33-and-a-half line for all the Rams possible bettors out there if you want to move that direction.
01:37But I think we see a big bounce back from the Rams this week, and I still think that they
01:40should win the division.
