Here at Ramblin’ Fan we had been doing a weekly pick em with myself and 3 other writers, if you had been following along you might have noticed they were not posted last week. Well a few things have changed and I will be doing a weekly pick em column where I track my results throughout the year. So first things first we need to update what my picks were for the previous two weeks and my overall standings before we get to this weeks picks. After two weeks I was sitting at 17-15 overall just barely over .500. Week three was not kind to me as I went 7-9 to bring my record to an even 24-24. If you had read my article previewing the Rams thursday night football game you already know I picked the Rams to beat the Cardinals.

I am already off on the right foot having accurately predicted that the Rams would defeat the Cardinals, of course I could be wrong on pretty much every other pick this weekend and I wouldn’t mind. It sure feels good to see the Rams impress on Primetime television and get over .500, so enjoy the rest of the games this weekend and as always Go Rams!!!
