Sam Farmer is an experienced football writer, so I’m not sure if he’s being provocative, delusional or just a homer, but including the Rams as one of seven teams — along with Kansas City, Philadelphia , Detroit, etc.— that could win the Super Bowl is absurd. Aaron Donald retired, Matthew Stafford a year older and nursing a hamstring, best linebacker traded, two receivers already banged up. Or maybe he’s just filling in for Bill Plaschke this week.

Sam Farmer picking the Rams as having the seventh-best chance of winning the Super Bowl, over several superior teams like the Green Bay Packers, is such a “homer” pick, even Homer Simpson would be embarrassed.
