Identity, Im pretty sure Rams defense ranks in upper half of NFL, which truly isnt "that bad"....lol....put that together with their offense, especially in their house, and that spells trouble for most opponents....Have to see what the line is.....Has it been released yet, if not, should be any time. I'll say it opens at 7......
I always thought that the defense rankings (and probably the offense rankings also) were somewhat faulty because they did not take in strength of schedule. I had the feeling that Dallas (#1 defense ranking) was really not that good because it was obtained at the expense of mostly 2nd tier teams. I used that as my main handicapping tool and was on Carolina who showed up the vaunted Dallas defense with a strong offensive performance. (I think they gained about 400 yards)
I have the same feeling with the Carolina defense. I haven't reviewed their schedule, but how many strong offensive teams did they face? I think St Louis may show them up, like they did to Dallas.

7.5 at Pin and Oly
Question is, if you like Car should you eat this up or wait for more points? St Loo is such a public team, might get pushed to 8ish. I'm leaning towards waiting.
Dallas' D was a litte more than pretty good and look what they did. Also, the Rams have problems against the run don't they?
Car ain't intimidated by pass happy dome teams either. They knocked off Indy in their dome when they were peaking. (knocked off the Saints in their dome too)
