How about some predictions on the score for the game! My prediction: The Rams defense will be the real key. They will score two touchdowns themselves and will overwhelm the inadequate Patriots offense (The Pats have only scored two offensive touchdowns in two playoff games). Warner will again have over 300 yards passing, and the Rams will win going away, 42-17.

By the way, head coach, Mike Martz, and assistant coach, Henry Ellard, are both graduates of Fresno State. No wonder the Rams are so good. I am also a member of that proud Bulldog fraternity.

The Patriots score as much as they need to win. When your defense and special teams are scoring touchdowns, that takes the pressure off the offense and they can concentrate on holding the ball and running off the clock.
Whether you win a game 47-10 or 13-10, a win is a win.
Don't forget that these teams played in November already and the score was 24-17 Rams. The Rams felt lucky to get out of that game with a win because they turned over the ball a few times and they were able to recover a fumble on their own 4-yard line (that would have put the Pats ahead at halftime). The Patriots are excellent at adjusting. They lost to the Jets and Dolphins earlier in the season but then came back to beat them later on.

Rams will win going away, 42-17. Seems high to me. Most books are posting over/under at 52 53.5 so Id bet on the clock.
If I was forced at gunpoint to guess something Id say 31-17 Rams.
