0:00.0	We continue our team by team NFL betting profiles on the early edge with Larry Hartstein and
0:06.0	Alex Sells Nick Gentleman. We got to talk about the Los Angeles Rams. I guess I'm probably not
0:10.8	the only one who really likes this team. I'm hearing a lot of buzz about this team. But let's start
0:15.2	at the quarterback position. Prop stars, I start with you, Matthew Stafford. We did hear some news from Sean McVeigh.
0:21.6	It felt like a little load management-ish, if you will.
0:24.7	What are your expectations for Matthew Stafford this year?
0:28.6	The other reasonable expectations, see, I don't think Matthew Stafford.
0:32.2	I think he's still, you know, fairly removed from the prime of his career when he was a top

1:11.9	I'm concerned about him this year at his age 37 season, and they just announced that he's not
1:17.1	going to practice at all this week due to a sore back, hasn't thrown one pass to Devante Adams
1:22.8	or rookie Terrence Ferguson in camp, and will he be on the field when they do the joint practices?
1:29.2	That's going to be really key.
1:34.7	You know, the last time he missed a lot of camp, 2002 with an elbow injury, that season didn't go well.
1:36.0	I'm also concerned because his starting left tackle, Allerick Jackson, is out with blood clots
