Rams On Pace to Set Record for Points Allowed

Congratulations, Rams! You were the first team of the season to reach a 100-point loss margin after your 14-31 loss to the Bills last week.

That’s nearly twice the loss margin of the second worst team, the Detroit Lions, with their negative 54 margin.

The Rams are not only dead last in the NFL in points allowed (36.8) and yards (411.8), they are also on pace to set a record for points allowed.

At their current rate of 37 points allowed per game, they will allow 588 on the season, 55 more than the Baltimore Colts did in 1981. As for yards allowed, the Colts allowed 6,793 that year, but the Rams are only on pace to allow 6,589. Don’t worry, Rams; I have faith in you.

Even their interception defense is terrible. Their offense has defended 3 interception returns and allowed 2 touchdowns and an average return of 35 yards.

Looking at individual stats, they only have two players in double figures for rushing: Steven Jackson (269) and Donnie Avery (37).

Steven Jackson is also their leading received in both receptions and yards.

Picks below the fold:

After going 10-3 and moving up to 7th place overall in Cuzoogle’s pick em contest, I am excited for tomorrow. Here are my picks:

Bills over Cardinals
Ravens over Chiefs
Colts over Texans
Chargers over Dolphins
Bears over Lions
Packers over Falcons
Giants over Seahawks
Eagles over Redskins
Broncos over Buccaneers
Cowboys over Bengals
Patriots over 49ers
Jaguars over Steelers
