Outlook

The Rams are a 3-point favorite in this game, but the Cardinals have won four of the last five meetings between the two teams. The Rams are coming off a tough loss to the San Francisco 49ers, while the Cardinals are coming off a bye week. This game could have major playoff implications for both teams. The Rams are currently in first place in the NFC West, while the Cardinals are in second place. A win for the Rams would give them a two-game lead over the Cardinals with three games to play. A win for the Cardinals would keep them in the race for the division title and a possible wild-card berth.
