The football gambling law of averages will be tough to overcome even though football gambling anticipation is high for the long term probabilities of the Rams. Football wagering facts of life are that a rookie quarterback is more likely than not to struggle and that was surely the situation in the Rams football gambling preseason opener.



St. Louis was crushed by the Minnesota Vikings 7-28 as a 2.5-point home favorite and Sam Bradford got a rude welcome to the NFL as the 2010 number one in total draft pick was reminded about how tough it’ll be to play quarterback as a rookie in the majors.

Bradford played college football for Oklahoma, where he turned out to be the second sophomore to win a Heisman Trophy and make a record in the NCAA for touchdown passes by a freshman. He was the first quarterback to be picked in the first round of a draft by the Rams since 1964. He signed a 6-year, $78 million deal with a maximum value of $86 million with incentives and a guarantee of $50 million. For a rookie quarterback, it’s a big deal.

As he bobbled a snap and botched a pitch in his first series before settling down relatively to hit on 4 of his first 5 passes, Bradford had an apparent case of the jitters right from the start. Bradford later had trouble with the hard treatment of the Vikings defense.

“It was fun to get out there, get it a couple of times, get hit, get knocked down, get back up,” bradford stated. “Just getting into the flow of a football competition was fun.” In general Bradford finished the game 6-13 passing for 57 yards as he was sacked 4 times. Bradford’s right shoulder that was hurt and surgically repaired a year ago was tested and came out fine.

“I took a couple, landed on the shoulder,” Bradford said. “It’s not sore at all. We’ll see tomorrow how it feels, but right now it feels great.” As they were outgained 150-414 and looked every bit the squad that went 1-15 straight up a year ago, in total it was a pathetic debut, even for a preseason game with the football probabilities, for the Rams. The squad can only hope that Bradford’s performance improves significantly between now and the regular season, thinking about the amount of trouble the Rams took to get Bradford.

Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo continues to be calm about the Rams long term probabilities with the NFL lines for 2010 and was analytical about the game.

“In the first quarter we did a decent job,” Spagnuolo explained. “After that I think it’s obvious we’ve got a lot of things to work on, both sides of the ball. We’ve got plenty of time, nobody’s panicking.” The Rams next football gambling competition is August 21 at Cleveland before they travel to New England on August 26. September 2 at home against Baltimore will be the preseason finale.

Free agent running back Brian Westbrook, who was also speaking to Dallas and Washington, is still being talked to by the Rams to close a deal.
