They preview the Rams vs. 49ers this Thursday on Netflix and Colin believes the Rams will become the target for everyone’s best shot since they’re the odds on favorite to win the Super Bowl… and that it’s no guarantee the Rams even win their division (56:00).
 
Finally, they react to Tua Tagovailoa winning the starting quarterback job for the Falcons (1:07:00)
