My Prediction For The Thursday Night Opener

[BrooklynRam]

Nice to meet everyone. Thanks for having me.

Buffalo.

2 reasons.

1. Buffalo was already a strong candidate along with Denver, Vegas and Dallas.

2. So Von Miller can be there for Championship Ceremony i.e. Banner Unfurling, Ring Presentation.

Its Perfect

Welcome, Brooklyn. Good to have you.

I never predict scheduling since I have no clue about the league's methodology for this, but Buff would be a good one.

By the way, why don't you introduce yourself in the thread linked below. It's a cool tradition we have here: https://ramsondemand.com/threads/re-introduce-yourself.10291/

Again, welcome!

Buffalo is a good choice. They can really play up the potential Super Bowl match-up for that game, too.

Denver is also a sexy game for the NFL, too. AFC team… etc. I think I’d rather play Denver over Buffalo week 1, too, as a Rams fan.

My guess in order of probability. Any of these wouldn’t surprise me.

They may want rams and Buffalo to meet mid season when bills are 7-1 and rams are 8-0. Denver would be nice and it would ensure no trip to mile high.

 

[Merlin]

Yeah that's an opener worthy of a Super Bowl champ, to face a top contender like that. But I'd be ok with an easy win type game too and I don't care if Von gets his ring in the mail. Fuck him.

Not understanding. Why would the Rams under ANY circumstance be going to Mile High?

The schedule isn't out so there's the possibility of the rams going to Denver for their game with the broncos. If the season opener is against Denver, that game is guaranteed to be in LA. They may still play the broncos mid season in LA

That's not how it works. The game can ONLY be Denver at Los Angeles. It isn't League optional.

This is not how NFL scheduling works.

The Rams/Broncos game is in LA this year no matter what. In 2018 we went to Denver.

 

[FrantikRam]

I could see the Rams requesting the Raiders, Cowboys or Niners. Not sure if the NFL would take our request into account though.

There should be more Rams fans who want to attend opening night and less opposing fans - and all three of those games are candidates to have half the stadium or more filled with opposing fans.

I’d bet they do a Raiders vs Broncos Match up before the Rams Week 1 ….2 reasons:
1) The Rams still get very little respect from the NFL (even though Kroenke is making all the owners tons of cash).
2) The Broncos vs Raisers is a historically watched game. Believe me, living in Colorado I’ve missed a ton of Rams game shaving to watch them play.

JMHO

 

[Angry Ram]

It'll be the stupid Cowboys.

 

[RAMSinLA]

It should be Rams 49ers in LA.

You shave that long?

Damn typo gets me again ~ @Loyal

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

I vote Rams vs 49ers.

I’d really prefer it to be one of the easier teams on the schedule like Seattle.
