The Rams have been exposed on both sides of the ball all season. Calling plays to mask QB Jared Goff’s limitations has been harder and the defense has struggled. One thing we know about Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury is that he isn't going to shy away from tough play calls. Look for that to be a catalyst for a Rams defense that will have opportunities to force turnovers by rookie QB Kyler Murray.

The Rams ended a five-game Under streak by getting Over the total Monday night, but they didn’t have much to do with it in the Ravens' 45-6 win. But I like them to be forced into a shootout, and Arizona’s defense won’t resist much. The Cardinals' average score this season is 28-22, and Arizona has gone Over in its last three. Over is the play.

The Rams looked awful against Baltimore last week, and while the Cardinals aren't the Ravens, I don't think much will change this week. Jared Goff has been awful since LA's bye, and Todd Gurley is an inefficient running back. The Cardinals have been playing better than their record suggests, and are coming off a bye here. Take them at home with the points.

The Rams have won and covered the last four games in the series. The Cardinals are terrible at defending the pass, and Jared Goff has all his skill players healthy. The Rams have more at stake, and they match up well with Arizona.

While it's possible a Rams offense that looks broken could rebound against a bad Cardinals defense, that scenario isn't enough to justify this line considering how well the Cardinals have played since the opening month. They're 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven, but essentially 6-1 after that garbage end-of-game TD against the 49ers. The Rams just had issues stopping an offense spearheaded by a mobile quarterback and could struggle against Kyler Murray as well on the short week. With Arizona having two weeks to prepare for this game, we should see the entire toolbox as they look for a big win at home. They should be favored in this spot.

This line is based on reputation, not the way each team has played recently. And the schedule spot completely favors Arizona. The Cardinals are coming off a bye while the Rams are traveling on a short week. Look for Arizona's strong pass rush to discombobulate Jared Goff. Take the points.
