Record Projection:
Usually when making the Rams’ prediction I find myself writing something like,
“When perusing the Rams’ schedule, locating games to pencil in a ‘W’
is hard to do.” And then out comes a (1-15) projection (right on the money
last year folks)… This season the Rams look better on paper,
so we’re tripling our win projection year over year, projecting a
(3-13) finish in 2010, a slight upgrade
from our initial preseason projection here before the regular season
kicks off.
