On Sunday afternoon, the Los Angeles Rams will welcome the Arizona Cardinals to SoFi Stadium for a pivotal NFC West matchup. Arizona realize they need to start putting victories together after a terrible start to the season that has left them with a record of 3-6.
A victory at home on Sunday would go a long way towards the club feeling comfortable about the second half of the season as the Los Angeles Super Bowl hangover appears to be apparent and the schedule doesn't appear to get much easier from here on out. This could be another intriguing fight in a rivalry that has grown over the past few years.

Cardinals vs Rams Key Stats
Arizona has dropped two straight games and four of their last five, but have performed better away from home. Particularly now that DeAndre Hopkins has recently made a comeback in the lineup, Arizona wants to see more consistency on the offensive side. It's clear there is a disconnect between Murray and the wide receiver room, but Murray's projected absence may make that a bigger issue.
Going into the weekend, there are quite a few injuries that are concerning. Kyler Murray's (hamstring) status is uncertain. JJ Watt (knee) and Budda Baker (ankle) are both doubtful defensively, which may provide issues.
Los Angeles' offensive struggles have become worse this year, and with Stafford perhaps missing on Sunday as well, they could get worse still. Their passing attack has significantly regressed, and they currently have the lowest total and rushing yards in all of football. Cooper Kupp is still a threat, but this bunch may still struggle without much support to take the strain off of him.
The unit's defense is still good, and they are eager to play against an Arizona offense that is having difficulties. While turnovers haven't occurred at quite the same rate as they have in previous seasons, this game may be the one where things change. Stopping the run has been key for this team.
Cardinals vs Rams Best Picks and Prediction
Arizona is rife with injuries on both sides of the ball, and given how clearly they are struggling now, those injuries are only likely to severely devastate the team's chances of winning this game on the road. Los Angeles can still try to win this game with their wide receiving talent, but their defense will ultimately get them the victory in this one.
According to covers.com, Los Angeles is 12-3-1 ATS in the last 16 meetings between the two teams overall, while the Cardinals are 0-6 ATS in their last six games versus NFC West opponents.
Pick: Rams -3 (-110)
