Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals suffered a heartbreaking 36-30 overtime loss last week to the Carolina Panthers. Kyler Murray completed 20 of 32 pass attempts for 202 yards and a touchdown with an interception. James Conner rushed the ball for 117 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries and led receivers with 4 receptions for 49 yards. These impressive stats came in a game where Conner left early in the 2nd half with an injury and was unable to return. The defense couldn’t force a turnover and allowed 243 rush yards. Conner is trending towards playing on Saturday after logging 3 limited practices over the week.
Los Angeles Rams
The Rams have won 4 straight games, with the latest being a 19-9 victory over the Jets. Matthew Stafford completed 14 of 19 pass attempts for 110 yards. He also had a touchdown and an interception. Kyren Williams rushed for 122 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries. Puka Nacua managed 8 receptions for 56 yards. The defense recovered two fumbles.
Cardinals vs. Rams Betting Trends
Arizona is 6-3 ATS in their last 9 games
Arizona is 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 road games against the Rams
Los Angeles is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games
The UNDER is 3-2 in Los Angeles last 5 games
Cardinals vs. Rams Prediction:
Take the Rams at home in this matchup. Arizona is 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 road games against the Rams. Kyler Murray holds a 2-7 career record against the Rams. One of those came in the 41-10 win in week 2 of this season where Puka Nacua was out and Cooper Kupp left the game early with an injury. Marvin Harrison had 4 receptions for 130 yards and 2 touchdowns in that game. That was Harrison’s best game of the season as he has only cleared 65+ yards once since that game. The Rams are hot right now, winning 5 of their last 6 games and covering in 5 of their last 6 games. Arizona is 1-2 ATS in their last 3 games. James Conner is trending towards playing but definitely won’t be 100%. The Cardinals season is over after the devastating loss last week that saw Kyler crying after the game. The LA defense has allowed just 15 points in the last 2 games. I don’t see the Cardinals being super motivated in this matchup while the Sean McVay led Rams are fighting for a playoff spot. I think they win big on Saturday night.
Cardinals vs. Rams Prediction: Rams -6.5
