This will also be graded as a rabid dog release for record keeping purposes. 

Well maybe, just maybe the books will get completely smoked tonight. Seems like most everyone I talk to or listen to seems to have this already marked up as a big win for the Rams. Excuse me if I am skeptical. I booked for several years and saw this scenario more times than I could count. More often than not it blew up in the bettors faces and the books cleaned up. I want to strongly emphasize nothing is 100%. Contrary to what you might see around the internet from a bunch of clueless nut cases the NFL is not rigged. Vegas is not making a call to the NFL offices in New York giving out orders. But it has been my experience and do have several decades of it guys, this sets up as a classic public slaughter. 

Now as for the specifics of the game. I have some concerns here if I am a Rams backer other than just being the squarest play since New Orleans sunday, oops. I wonder if the Rams bettors know the team has some real issues at linebacker going into this game. I doubt it. Looking like Mark Barron is doubtful and if he does go won't be 100%. That is bigger than most realize. The Raiders have a stud offensive line and a beast plowing behind it in Lynch. With a linebacking corps that has some questions I can see the Raiders running the rock with a ton of success. Best way to keep that Rams offense off the field is obviously to own the time of possession. Not exciting football but it is just up Gruden's alley to play this game with that approach. The guy loves to grind away anyway. The Rams starters really did not see much action in the preseason. While I understand that approach it does not always bode well in the first game as teams try to get back into rhythm. I could go on and on but the bottom line is I think we are in for a much closer, hard fought game Monday night than most suspect. I am going triple star rabid dog here with Jon Gruden and his Raiders. 

Now, we have won three triples already this weekend in the NFL but we will not win them all. Please play this like any other triple fellas. It's one game. Not trying to be a kill joy, quite the opposite. I am trying to help. Lot's of football coming down the pike. Hold your water guys. Many sincere thanks as always and best of luck to each of us. Enjoy the game.
