Given there could be turnovers given the harder ball (watch out for Packers terrible Special Teams), I think Vegas line of +7 for Packers is a tad high. I'd say more like +4. The running offense/defense will be key for both teams--the game will be won not in the air but on the ground, in the trenches. I'd be shocked if either team scores 30+. I think A.J. Dillon might be a sleeper here in 2nd half if the Packers somehow get up by 10 by mid-3rd quarter. Then again, stopping Cam Akers gonna be tough. I dare not predict a final score and jinx things. Just think it will be a close game, and enjoyable to see a cold weather game at Lambeau. You have a great point. People only point to the Bears game when they talk about the Rams. How about the Broncos game? It was snowing and the high altitude. The difference in both games was the Broncos game the Rams ran the ball 35+ times. Gurley had 28 carries 208yds rushing and 2 tds. The Bears game the Rams ran 13 times. Gurley only had 11 carries. In both games no team scored more than 23pts. The Rams beat the Broncos running and playing defense and lost to the Bears because they didn’t run. Defense played well. So I don’t think the Packers or Rams will score 30+ pts. The weather, the defense, and for the Packers I think like most teams coming off a BYE could start off slowly. Think last year the Chiefs was down 24-0 early because they looked off making bad mistakes. The Steelers sorta had a BYE because they rested their starters Week 17. They started their game with a snap over the head of Big Ben. Then went the entire first quarter down 28-0. The Ravens last season coming off the BYE looked bad against the Titans. So for me this game will be a close low scoring game for most of the game if not all of the game. It will come down to Rams running the ball and being physical on both sides of the ball. That’s the one thing the Packers have shown they couldn’t handle last season and couldn’t handle this season when they go up against teams that get physical on offense and defense.

I only found this; In 25-degree weather at Denver, Goff completed 14 of 28 passes for 201 yards with an interception. The Rams got 208 yards rushing from former Rams running back Todd Gurley in a 23-20 victory. Later in the season at Chicago’s Soldier Field, with the temperature 29 degrees at kickoff, Goff completed 20 of 44 passes with four interceptions in a 15-6 defeat. The sample size is too small to know if Goff completely sucks in cold weather. Especially because his really awful game was against the best defense he's faced in his career. Impossible to know how much that was weather and how much it was Fangio's defense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVRamsFan Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Sounds like we should just save time and not waste fuel flying to Wisconsin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't wanna miss that trip to Titletown and not sure that will do the trick anyways The Rams didn't use any Jet fuel vs the Jets and still lost at home to the worst team ever. Where were Jalen Ramsey and Aaron Donald on that fine day ? https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/202012200ram.htm Good luck and enjoy the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened when Green Bay played TB? I seem to have forgotten. 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad People Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 This game is extremely hard for me to gauge. Seems pretty well even for the most part. AD not being at 100% is a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwaye50327 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I think this game doesn't come down to GB's offense vs the Rams defense, I think it comes down to the Rams offense against the Packers defense. Can the Packers slow down Cam Akers? If he is slowed down, will the Rams get enough production out of whoever starts at QB to score points. If Cam gets going and starts shredding the Packers defense, the game is over IMO. If the Packers defense slows down Cam and forces the Rams QB to throw, it could be a long day for whoever is at QB. Either way I think it'll be a nail biter. Crosby nails a game winner as time expires: Packers 21 Rams 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD not being at 100% is a big deal. I see it as much more in GB's favor, and yes I have a pair of green and gold lenses. That's not to say LAR can't win, even the Jets won a couple this year, but you can't ignore how each team played in December and the injuries. Both sides have injuries but I think GB can weather that storm better and starting QB might not be out but definitely not healthy for the Rams. It won't be a cakewalk but GB outclasses LA this Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
