I disagree with his prediction but everyone is entitled to their opinion. :D

"8. The Rams hold the Seahawks to under 30 points
The Seahawks have averaged 50 points a game over the last three weeks. No team can keep that up, let alone one whose strength is defense, not offense. All season long, quarterback Russell Wilson and the 'Hawks have been defying expectations, but at some point this torrid pace has to slow down. It's probably best for the Seahawks if they cool off just a little headed into the postseason just to remind them this game isn't as easy as they've made it look."

So the only reason he's saying is because 'no team can keep that up'? No team had scored 50 points in back to back games in forever either. no team was thought to be able to depants the 49ers, and so on. Whatever. I'm saying we score 30 or more just to spit the Derp.

I think the real question is how many points do the Seahawks hold the Rams to?

After the last few weeks I don't see the Rams scoring 30 points on us either.

It would be a miracle if the Rams kept us under 30... I don't see how we don't score, at least, the 42 points that we put up on the Niners?

56 - 63 seems more likely than under 30. The D and special teams might score 30 by themselves

The Patriots have been doing it to people for the last 5 years without slowing down. What was it, 2007 ? when Brady and co. trashed the league and had folks whining about running up the score ?

There is historical precedent to invalidate his argument.

Just for a laugh; Peter Kings picks includes this "gem" Final Score: Tennessee 3 - Jacksonville 2

Jacksonville Jaguars (2-13) at Tennessee Titans (5-10)
In the Munchak-Mularkey Job Saving Bowl, my only question is this: Do fans actually have to attend?

I remember a true "Black & Blue Division" score years ago. I think it was Packers & Minnesota. Pack won 5-2

We are going to get the lead and play a bit more vanilla this week. Plus the Rams aren't bad.

Seattle 27

Rams 16 or fewer.

I don't think this will quite be the curbstomping of the last few weeks, and I sure hope people don't irrationally freak out if we "only" score 27 or something, but I do expect a win by double digits.

I could care less if we do or don't score 30 points...as long as we get the win and nobody gets hurt.

If the score is akin to what we've seen the last three weeks, and we're multiple scores ahead in the third quarter, I'd really be surprised if PC left the key starters in. Factor in the probability of the Cards laying an egg at the Whiners, and I tend to agree with the the <30 point final. That said, slowing down the "torrid pace" of the team will be due to PC rolling off the throttle, not for the reasons indicated in the article.

Of course, if the Rams starters can't stop Flynn, Turbin and the others out there on mop-up duty, then all bets are off. But the Rams are a good team, looking for a winning season and trying to go undefeated in the division; I think this'll be a closer contest than many are expecting/hoping for.

Andrew Perloff or Mclovin as he's called on the Dan Patrick show is wrong 80% of the time.
It's kind of his thing to be the wanna be hipster sports nerd.
He also has a segment of against the grain and he is very inaccurate there as well.
Don't sweat it.
