Cardinals will take on the Rams.
It's the biggest line of the week
and probably the most popular survivor pick of the week,
unless somebody wants to get tricky
and save the Rams for another day.
The Cardinals certainly have gone the other way completely,
especially on defense, allowing a ton of points,
a ton of touchdowns.
Rams are certainly having a tough time.
They did on Monday night.
What a great game it was, by the way,
on Monday night between the Rams and Buffalo Bills,
a game that scored a ton of points.
Unfortunately, a missed field goal cost the Rams.
They ended up cutting their kicker after the game.
I think this is the highest point total on the board this week
between the Cardinals and Rams.
But again, hard to lay 14 points, 13 points,
whatever the line is in an NFL game.
Certainly, I think most expect the Rams to win this game.
It's just a matter of if they cover the spread.
Yeah, I think they do.
Also, no Jeremiah Love in this game on the other side.
The metric that I keep throwing out there every single week,
and it keeps on giving, which is the Arizona Cardinals,
just don't tackle anybody.
And that's a problem when you have guys like Davante Adams
of Puka Nacua and Kyron Williams.
You have all this talent.
I like Matthew Stafford actually in this game too.
If you want to push this prop all the way up to 300
in the alternate passing yards,
I think this is a 300-yard day for Matthew Stafford
to sling the football around.
Look, they need a W in the worst way too.
This is another team that needs to get back on track.
This is a matchup where they should dominate.
You had a lot of confusion last week,
a lot of Sean McVay kind of.
I think Sean McVay overcomplicates things
sometimes unnecessarily.
I think you get back to some basics here
and hopefully you get a 14-point victory here potentially.
The 12.5, I'm still comfortable with
because of the deficits of the Arizona Cardinals on the defensive side.
If you want to just push this game
to the over instead and go that way, you could
because there is a world where you could see 38 points
just from the Rams alone in this game.
So I think that 51.5 isn't necessarily a safe under.
So I would go with the over in this contest as well for that.
And I'm pretty confident Matthew Stafford
& Company will handle their business.
is a game you should win you need to win
and i think they come out with a big victory here
and hopefully get back on track because i don't think
the rams are done yet but clearly they're
not the juggernaut team that everybody
was anointing them going into 2026 either still
at the still at the top in terms of super bowl odds
are very close to it so it sort of tells
you what the odds makers are thinking even with still about two
and a half months ago in the in
the NFL season.
