B365 at -130. We get one last ride on the wagon that is Michael Wilson (without Marvin Harrison Jr.). The Cardinals receiver has 59 total targets in the four games played without Harrison, with 31% target share, and 42% first read rate (per Fantasy Points). The Rams are one of the teams that Wilson decimated (11 catches on 16 targets), and I do expect a lot of volume again today. While the Cardinals have nothing to play for, I do see them playing their starters, as head coach Jonathan Gannon is on the hot seat. It also doesn’t hurt that Wilson is 93 yards away from 1,000 for the season.
Rams have dropped two straight, not a way anyone wants to enter the postseason. Sean McVay will have his team ready to right the ship, using the Cardinals as their playoff-prep tackling dummy. Removing any situational factors, my numbers have the Rams by 16-points. Arizona is arguably the most injured team in the league. Forget about the incredibly wide gap in talent between these two teams, the discrepancy in health alone might be worth 16 points. Some might argue that how the Rams approach this game depends on what the 49'ers do on Saturday. I don't necessarily agree. McVay wants to reestablish some positive momentum for this team heading into the postseason. I believe it is a one-way street this Sunday at SoFi.
The Rams are angry. Perhaps embarrassed. They played as poorly as possible Monday in Atlanta for one half, then rallied to within three points before bowing to the Falcons. While some coaches might rest starters, coach Sean McVay vows to deploy them. L.A. can better its playoff seed. Perhaps more importantly, it strives to regain momentum after two SU setbacks. Playing at home where they are 6-1 SU and facing a visitor with eight straight SU losses, five by margins between 19 and 28 points, the Rams figure to take out their recent frustrations in emphatic fashion.
