Good afternoon!
Your daily rundown of what's going on with the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins and Revolution, and what's about to happen...
- Patriots have a big game tonight against the Rams.
- Took a look at the Rams offense vs. the Patriots' defense — and Sean McVay has been pantsed the past two times he faced this scheme. Will he finally adjust?
- I'll take a look at the Rams' defense against the Patriots' offense today and give my pick.
- Overall, I wouldn't be too intimidated by the Rams. Seems they have this world-beater rep. They ain't all that. They've beaten the Bucs and Seahawks, and that's largely it. Both of those teams started to scuffle around that time.
- BTW, the Rams were not happy when the schedule came out and their Thursday night game was at home ... against a team that was already in LA the previous Sunday. Huge advantage for the Patriots.
- B-Robb took a look at the path to the playoffs.
- Hopefully the Lowell Spinners are back next year.
- Who ya got, Max Pacioretty or Noah Hanifin?
