After a weekend of lopsided contests, the wild-card round will wrap up tonight when the Rams host the Cardinals for the first playoff game ever on Monday Night Football. Los Angeles and Arizona split the season series 1-1, making this a rubber match between two really good teams – two legitimate Super Bowl contenders.
The Rams are at home after winning the NFC West and earning the No. 4 seed, but they enter this game coming off a heartbreaking loss to the 49ers in Week 18. The Cardinals also lost their season finale and come into tonight’s matchup having lost four of their last five games.
The winner will head to Tampa Bay next Sunday afternoon for a divisional round matchup with the Buccaneers. Everything is on the table for the Rams to make a deep playoff run, but it all starts with beating Arizona tonight.
