To close out Week 14 of the NFL season, the Los Angeles Rams visit 1st place division and conference leaders, the Arizona Cardinals. The Cards are coming off a big win against the Bears, a game where Kyler Murray dominated in his return from injury. The Rams shattered the Jags 37-7 at Sofi last weekend which was a good way to bounce back from their previous losses. A division battle between two NFC heavyweights at State Farm Stadium is a perfect way to close out Week 14 of this NFL season.
The Rams did everything last Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. They got good yards on the ground with Sony Michel and put up triple digits on the ground. The run game is going to deliver positive yardage again as they can’t just rely on Stafford and the pass game. As for Stafford, he can’t throw interceptions in this game. The Cardinal’s offense scores points and the more they get the ball, the more they’ll score. The longer the football stays out of Kyler Murray’s hands, the more of a chance the Rams have to win. This team has a lot of potential and if they win, they’re taking a major step towards the playoffs and the Super Bowl.
The Cardinals are coming off a game where their team was spectacular. Sometimes when players come back from injury, we don’t see the sharpness from them for a game or two but not Kyler Murray. He can throw the ball effectively and run the ball too. In the game at Chicago, he threw for a pair of touchdowns while also running for a pair. He is so athletic and is one of the best quarterbacks this season. On the other side of the football, the Arizona defense has looked really good. They came away with 4 picks against the Bears and have had a great season. This Cardinals team looks one of the best this season and are big contenders for the Super Bowl.
I think the Arizona Cardinals are going to win this game by the score of 31-20. To me, they seem better than the Rams right now. Last time both of these teams played, it was 37-20 Arizona. Till now, I don’t think anybody has been able to figure out their offense and stop it. They score so many points and like the Bucs, have so many options. I don’t think this Rams defense will be able to cope with this tremendous offense.
On Monday Night Football, it’s an NFC West clash. Can the Los Angeles Rams come to Arizona and upset Kliff Kingsbury’s Cardinals or will the Arizona Cardinals ruin Sean McVay’s Monday Night? We ‘ll find out at 8:15 PM EST from Glendale, Arizona.
