This is good, and I understand the vibe and I understand all the reasons.

I also just understand Matthew Stafford and what he is doing right now.

And Stafford is attempting to do something that is very, very rare, which is win three road playoff games and then win the Super Bowl. If Stafford does that, he joins the names Rothesberger,

Manning, Rogers, Brady. Think about the, think about, too, the trip that this team has been

on. They lose to Seattle, right? Okay?

Then they got to go to Carolina,

play this pesky wildcard team.

It won't give up.

Then they got to go to this horrific game in Chicago,

in the weather, on the road,

against this weird, crazy, bizarre alien talent in Caleb that won't let them win.

They win that game.

All these things that they have had to do. And now they got to go up to Seattle.

It sounds like a huge pain in the butt to play up there. It's going to be so loud, so

I mean, Matthew Stafford is old. He doesn't got time for all this. You know what I'm saying?

Like he's supposed to have nice, warm, comfortable home games. And yet they refuse to stop and they refuse to lose. They are so very difficult to pick against. And that's why part of me doesn't like picking this game because I really have so much respect for both these teams. And there's this inherent slight and disrespect whenever you pick. Oh, you just respected the Rams or Seahawks. I can only promise you I respect both of these teams. And there's this inherent slight and disrespect whenever you pick, oh, you just

respected the Rams or Seahawks. I can only promise you, I respect both of these teams so

much. And I think about Sam Donald, and this is the biggest game of his life. It's not even

close. And I look at the Rams versus Seahawks. The Rams have a better coach in a vacuum.
