Bold Prediction: Blaine Gabbert throws 275+ passing yards

Even though the Rams should run away with this, expect Blaine Gabbert to try to end the season off with a huge upset against St. Louis. The Rams pass defense has been one not to talk about as of late. St. Louis’ defense has given up 300 yards through the air the past three games. They do win games, but that is one category where they have been soft in.

The Rams may have one of the best red zone defense’s yet, they still allow the opposing offense to drive down the field first. They did an excellent job last week against Seattle and got the huge win, yet Wilson caught on fire late in the 2nd half.

Gabbert will complete his throws here and there, but don’t expect him to go off on this St. Louis defense.
