Good Angle???? Not really. But anyway here are my thoughts.
Peter Warrick being out of this game is a huge blow. A lot of people think this guy sucks because he hasnt been the big over the top big playmaker for the 4th pick in the draft. Well the fact is, the guy cannot be covered on 3rd down, when the need is 4, 5, 7,8 yards or whatever. That is why Kitna is one of the best in the league on 3rd down, and why the Bengals are. With Warrick out, this changes dramatically. The tight ends will have to get open for the Bengals to be effective on 3rd down.
The Bengals corners cannot cover the Rams. Bruce needs to be hobbled for the Bengals to stay around, they cant cover both Holt and Bruce. Stopping Faulk is also key, which will be highly difficult. I dont see it. If the Bengals can force Bulger into some mistakes, the game will be very interesting.
My prediction with both healthy teams is 34-24 Rams. Warrick out makes it 34-20. But if Bruce doesnt play, 30-20. Those are my predictions.

i like the over....but other clubs have hung within 7 of the rams at home(seattle and san fran)......
as i said,the over looks interesting.....but,i tell you this as a ravens fan....throw out those old cincy angles....this is a completely different team mentally.....
and the rams are 22nd in the nfl vs the run and next to last vs the pass....
on a neutral field,i`ll take my chances with cincy and those monster rb`s.....
but,st louis` home field advantage is significant....

INJURY UPDATE!!
LG Eric Steinbach has been ruled out of today's game against the Rams. If you don't know, this rookie was playing at a pro bowl level and was on some writers' pro bowl teams this year. He destroyed the Niners last week, a 49er writer said that the Niners would be seeing a pulling steinbach in thier nightmares. This is a huge blow, Scott Regberg steps in, this guy sucks bad.
