00:00as we look at the rams entering 2025 double digit wins last year divisional crown in the nfc west

00:07they won their opening playoff game of that season against the minnesota vikings in glendale

00:13due to the tragic wildfires in los angeles and gave the eagles an absolute run for their money

00:19in that snow game against philadelphia storming back and having an opportunity in the final two

00:24minutes of regulation to maybe upset the birds and get to the nfc championship game but maybe in

00:30what ifs is revisionist history the eagles are a super bowl champ but donnie you said the sexiest

00:37team entering 2025 in the nfl what bet do you like the most on the rams over the win total of nine and

00:44a half to win the division once again to win the nfc at an eight to one price third best around the

00:50conference for that 17 to one number to maybe contend for a lombardi trophy once again yeah

00:57probably go nfc eight to one because you know they're going to get some competition in that

01:01division i do think they're a playoff team that's the way i wouldn't approach it and sometimes just

01:05how well you're playing at the end of the season and how healthy you're entering in the playoffs

01:08can give you a little bit of that mojo i think that makes the most sense but also understand this

01:12you take a look from a rams perspective where when you're that sexy team as i said heading into the

01:17season a lot of eyeballs will be on you because of the way you ended that season

01:20and yes it was maybe a little bit of an optical illusion where the eagles collapsed late in that

01:24fourth quarter there's a chance to steal it was a crazy snowstorm and they couldn't get it done i

01:28remember ben sitting on my ottoman like not even on the couch on the ottoman looking at the tv

01:32it's like that catch to get him around like the 20 yard line i say to myself like the eagles are

01:37going to lose this game like i don't even know how i can like survive like the next week or two and

01:41you got to work for the super bowl the eagles are supposed to be like there was devastation in my

01:44eyes right away because especially there's nothing worse than a game where saquon bust along like all right

01:49eagles in the nfc championship next week in 30 seconds there's like oh no they're going to lose

01:53this game but also you can live in that moment here for the rams are gone we were close to the

01:58eagles who won the super bowl how can we change things the offensive line is very good the running

02:03backs one of the best in the business you had an offense that was built around matthew safford who

02:07didn't put up crazy statistics last year because he had a good defensive performance and a good

02:11running game and now he said all right puka is the shining star of this offense how can we help him

02:16out and most people say like oh well get another offensive line or you know throw him the football

02:20more no get a superstar wide receiver on the opposite side so he doesn't have to face double

02:26teams on every single play that's exactly what they went out and did with adams wide receiver it's

02:32almost like the perfect storm how do you win football games have a good offensive line got it

02:36have a quarterback that's won a super bowl got it have a dominant ground game got it have dominant

02:40wide receivers hey that sounds like the eagles formula right now and then you add a defense

02:45that has a pass rush it's all young it's all talented and should get better next year now how

02:51do you also know a team is probably ready for a super bowl run and everybody loves them

02:54joe lisi loves the arizona cardinals in this division and not the rams that tells you a lot

02:58about the rams and this next season as it comes up because he's supposed to be the guy that's a year

03:04ahead on the rams now that everybody's on the rams lisi is on the cardinals so that tells you

03:09everything you need to know about this truly is the hot team in the nfl
