probably because Vegas isn't completely sold on the Rams. We haven't had a 3 game winning streak since 2003 and we haven't beaten the Giants in a long long time. This has trap game written all over it and Vegas is pretty much confirming that.

It seems low even with the 3 points for home field. No fans from either side expect a close game. I hadn't thought of this as a trap game. Hard to argue with Vegas. maybe the spread will go up some before game time.

Classic trap game....glad we're coming off a bye....
Poor JJ....I guess he doesn't wanna tackle on a losing team....one of "those" type of players...
I look forward to this thread, so I'm not happy without ANY belief by the opposing fans...
I'd usually guess a score of 55-0.....on a team like this...so, I'ma go 13-2 Rams..in a squeaker...maybe 15-3

Am I the only one that finds the term "trap game" when it comes to the Rams as a bit odd?
The current head coach isn't Jeff "I'm giving you guys some time off after every win" Fisher. More and more I'm beginning to believe Sean McVay is not just a disciplinarian but a perfectionist and a hard ass.
It's seriously doubtful he would allow any player or coach to slack off this week because we're facing the Giants. It's possible we may lose for a combination of many reasons but taking the Giants lightly won't be one of them.

It's hard for an old dog(many Rams fans over last deacade+) to learn new tricks(not be worried and still think we will lose games we should easily win). Give us some time PT. 8 weeks isnt enough to turn our whole mentality around, but we are getting there.

We've been programmed to expect traps.
Give us some time (and more examples of not getting trapped) to adjust

Sean is still invested in building is resume and team confidence in him as a rookie coach. That requires consistency over an entire season---not just the front seven. The players themselves seem to be feeling this season is special and the game-by-game approach of the coaching brass is increasingly reaping dividends as the weeks roll on. I don't expect a slack off in this one.

JJ was pretty cocky that 1st year in NY. Commenting on how great it is, to finally be playing for such a well run organization. I guess the honeymoon is over, so he dicks off.
Jackrabbit? More like Jack-ass.

Just me but... I'd like to know my experiment failed after three years, rather than dragging it on for five.
But that's just me.

A trap game is a game played against an opponent generally deemed to be easy to defeat. As a result a person or team may not prepare as thoroughly as they would for a formidable opponent. Often this attitude and its attendant lack of preparation lead to a loss.
I agree. I stated in another thread that I don't see the Rams coming out flat like in the past after a win. I don't see McVay, coaches and players not being prepared for the Giants. Other things concern me more like.
The Giants playing well with nothing to loose.
Possible rain but it's too early to know.
Some bad calls by the refs.
It's funny how fans of both teams seem to see this an easy Rams victory yet, the Rams are only favored by 3.5 points. McVay knows that no win in the NFL is easy and I'm sure he has been reminding everyone that they have to play their best to beat the Giants.

I agree with you for the most part. It's been a breath of fresh air to not see the Rams come out flat and not give up half way thru the game. Even when their Defense was giving up 200+ yards on the ground they still fought hard and had chances to win each of their losses.
I'm still not completely sold that this team wont lay an egg every now and then. There are still missing pieces to this puzzle and we lose some tough games against teams we should beat. IE the Seaslags.

What I meant about the "trap game" comments is that after all these years of continual losing, how can anyone think our team would allow themselves to become complacent. It's like the Browns after a couple of wins playing another NFL team that's struggling and deciding to take it easy for a week. It's ridiculous.
And yes, apart from this season, the Rams record has been just about as bad as the Browns for many seasons, so the comparison fits.

Giants’ injury report: Olivier Vernon, Justin Pugh head long list
Giants don’t seem to be getting healthier
by Ed Valentine
The New York Giants might have hoped that their recently-concluded bye week would help them get healthier. That does not appear to be the case, though, as their initial injury list heading into their Week 9 game against the Los Angeles Rams appears to be a lengthy one.
LB BJ Goodson (ankle), RT Justin Pugh (back), C Weston Richburg (concussion), DE Olivier Vernon (ankle), DE Kerry Wynn, and S Nat Berhe (calf) did not practice on Wednesday.
Here is the official list.
Did not participate
S Nat Berhe - Calf
TE Rhett Ellison - Not Injury Related
LB B.J. Goodson - Ankle
OL Justin Pugh - Back
C Weston Richburg - Concussion
DE Olivier Vernon - Ankle
DE Kerry Wynn - Knee
Limited participation
LB Jonathan Casillas - Neck
LB Calvin Munson - Quad
WR Sterling Shepard - Ankle
DT Robert Thomas - Calf
Full participation
RB Paul Perkins - Ribs
That list, of course, does not include the suspended Janoris Jenkins. Or, the injured reserve contingent that includes Odell Beckham Jr., Brandon Marshall, Dwayne Harris and others.
