The Los Angeles Rams are gearing up to face the Arizona Cardinals for the second time this season, visiting them on Sunday afternoon for a rematch of their Week 6 battle. Just as they were six weeks ago, the Rams are once again favorites against their division rival, with the spread favoring Los Angeles by 1.5-points.
It’s not a very large margin and the gap between the number of experts picking the Rams over the Cardinals isn’t very big. According to Tallysight, 58% of experts are taking Los Angeles to beat Arizona, with 59% taking the Rams to cover the spread. Pundits are expecting the game to be on the higher-scoring end, with 57% taking the over at 44.5 points.
The Rams are 8-2 in their last 10 games against the Cardinals and a perfect 6-0 on the road in Arizona since Sean McVay arrived in 2017. In their last 10 meetings with the Cardinals, the Rams are 7-2-1 against the spread.
At 4-6, the Rams are 2.5 games ahead of the Cardinals in the NFC West, but they’re still on the outside looking in for a playoff berth. Los Angeles can’t afford to lose many more games, which makes this favorable matchup a borderline must-win.
