For the first time in recent memory, the St. Louis Rams are being viewed as a “formidable” team in the NFL. The squad is firing on all cylinders, being highly-efficient on offense, downright nasty on defense, and finally making game-changing plays on special teams… without drawing flags. You don’t have to dig far into the stats to see those performances paying off, with the Rams now 3-1 in their last four games, include a 22-7 stuffing of the Denver Broncos and back-t0-back shutouts against the Washington Redskins and Oakland Raiders. Even Vegas has come to recognize the St. Louis, pitting the 6-7, basically-out-of-the-playoffs Rams as favorites over the current leaders in the NFC, the Arizona Cardinals.
With this being a “special” week for Rams Nation, getting some genuine respect from the national media and being listed as favorites, we figured we would switch things up for our “bold predictions.” Instead of listing off our personal prophecies, we took to Twitter and asked the fans for their predictions for tonight. They didn’t disappoint:
@nkearns12 Zuerlein goes 4-4 with 2 from 45+ & Arizona doesn't score a TD #RamsWin 19-9 #BoldPredictions

@nkearns12 Rams defense/special teams scores more points than the Cardinals do all game #boldpredictions

@nkearns12 Tre Mason is the 2nd 100 yard rusher of the year v Ari. We grind out the win on the ground and he follows the wake of SJ39

@nkearns12 @RQuinn94 gets 2 strip sacks and @JOEL9ONE scoops one up and scores!

@nkearns12 Tavon Austin with a 40+ yard TD reception. Rams D with 8 sacks and only allow 3 points.

And last, but not least, the best bold prediction of the night…
@nkearns12 Third straight shutout
