Cardinals Rams Prediction, LA Cruises to Win

Two terrific teams with QBs coming off spotty recent performances clash in the Monday Night Wild Card matchup as the Arizona Cardinals visit the LA Rams. Both teams try to shake off 0-4 ATS runs in playoff games.

In Arizona’s losses, Kyler Murray has been shitty (just 3 TDs in those five games). In LA’s recent stretch of seven games, Matthew Stafford has multiple turnovers four times. On the injury front, LA gets RB Cam Akers back, while James Conner and Chase Edmonds are expected back for the Cardinals.

The road team has won both divisional meetings this year, and catching four points is tempting on Arizona as many experts believe the Rams boast the superior lineup and obviously get the home crowd.

Why the Cardinals can cover the spread

Getting healthier nudges this team back towards legit-contender status it enjoyed during much of the season. JJ Watt is also scheduled to come off injured reserve, watch for his status.

Kyler Murray’s escapability skills is crucial here with the LA Rams pass rush.

Arizona has won eight of its last nine road games (including an upset of the Cowboys) and has been profitable as an underdog, covering six straight and rolling up a 9-3 ATS mark over 12 games when catching points. And the Rams have struggled as favorites, failing seven of 10 recent games as chalk.

Why the Rams can cover the spread

The Rams get Cam Akers back and should be able to pound the rock with Akers and Sony Michel. That would prevent Stafford from throwing more stupid INTs.

LA has owned their NFC West rivals over many years, extending a 10-2 SU, 9-2-1 ATS streak over a dozen contests. Their foes have also shit the bed on Mondays over the years as the Cardinals limp to a 3-12-1 ATS.

The story will be the LA defense – big names will make big plays and block the Cardinals at every turn. On offense, just keep the ball on the ground….

Cardinals Rams Prediction

The Rams own the deeper and more experienced roster and Murray has thrown multiple TD passes just twice in the past 11 weeks. He may need to do more, but the Rams pass rush won’t let him. We like the Rams here.
