Los Angeles Rams at Arizona Cardinals Final Betting Prediction
Although the Rams had momentum heading into the first contest, Arizona blitzed LAR 37-20. We can’t overlook the fact the Cardinals beat the Rams at SoFi Stadium.
We also can’t overlook the key things from that game that will help us determine the winner of this game. The Cardinals rushed for 216 yards and a 5.4 average.
Murray threw for 268 yards and 2 TDs. Also, the Cards picked off Matthew Stafford.
The rematch could turn out differently than the first game. But we shouldn’t look past the fact that before beating the Jags, the Rams had looked horrible in a couple of road games.
San Francisco picked Stafford off twice and sacked him twice. Green Bay also sacked Staff twice and picked him off once.
Even Jacksonville got a sack. So all told, Stafford has hit the grass 5 times in the last 3 games. Arizona’s Markus Golden has 10 sacks this season. The Cards rank fifth in takeaways with 23.
It’s difficult to imagine the Rams offensive line keeping Stafford’s shirt clean, and the O-line probably has to for LAR to win this. Arizona is the play.
