Golden Nuggets: Not worried about the Rams at home

Good morning folks. Since I didn't do the Golden Nuggets yesterday, I'd like to be at least a little obnoxious (toward all of you and our benevolent overlord, Fooch) and offer a simple: GO GIANTS! I'm not going to pretend I'm as die-hard as they get, and I've watched less baseball than just about ever before this season, but it's always great to see the team win. But I'm sure I'm not alone of those here who would trade a coupe World Series wins for a San Francisco 49ers Super Bowl victory.

The quest for another one of those continues on Sunday against the St. Louis Rams. I'm not particularly worried about the Rams at this point -- they're shown to be far less of a threat than initially thought. As we saw against the Seattle Seahawks, the Rams can certainly put together something and surprise the better team, but it's not going to happen this time around.
