The St. Louis Rams could easily be 6-2 at the midpoint of their season. They could also just as easily be 2-6. How you view the situation depends on if you're a half-full or half-empty personality.
I'm a half-full type and looking ahead, the Rams have 3 games that they shouldn't be favored in: @CIN, vs. ARI, and @SEA. So if everything goes as Vegas expects - which never happens under Fisher - they'll be at 9-7 and likely on the outside looking in. Especially when you consider that they just lost to a team it would be verrrrrrrry nice to have a tiebreaker over.
