The Rams played their best game of the season last year but they still fell short while the Ravens barely got by in San Francisco against the Niners.

The Rams have really been awful on the road as they are 0-2 and they’ve been outscored 59-10 in those games.  But, the Rams finally showed some life last week against the Cardinals and they hope to repeat the effort in a win this week.  The Rams will likely try to air it out against the Ravens because the Ravens only allow 66.6 yards rushing per game and 2.9 yards per carry so far this season.  So it would be hard for rookie RB Brian Leonard to get his yards this week despite playing well for the Rams so far this season.  Look for the Rams to spread the ball around to a few receivers as long as Gus Frerotte gets time to throw the ball.  Torry Holt (28 rec, 351 yards, 3 TDs), Drew Bennett (8 rec, 94 yards, TD) and TE Randy McMichael (12 rec, 146 yards, TD) might all find open spaces in the Ravens’ secondary which is a tad overrated.

The Ravens will likely attack the soft run defense of the Rams with a steady dose of Willis McGahee (464 yards rushing, 4.5 ypc).  After all, the Rams are allowing 146.0 yards rushing per game and 4.5 yards per carry this season.  The Ravens might throw the ball a little deeper than usual this week as the Rams don’t have a big time pass rush.  Look for McNair to throw more to his WRs than usual this week.  Derrick Mason (44 rec, 372 yards, TD), Demetrius Williams (16 rec, 222 yards) and Mark Clayton (10 rec, 81 yards) all could have good weeks against a Rams defense that is allowing 210.0 yards passing per game.

PREDICTION:  Look for the Ravens to win this football game but no way are they covering an 11 point spread.
