Arizona started the season 7-0, and the Cardinals are only 4-6 since. They have lost four of their last five games following a 38-30 defeat against Seattle, which was already out of the playoffs, and it kept Arizona from winning the NFC West title. Russell Wilson threw for 238 yards and three TDs, and Rashaad Penny ran for 190 yards for the Seahawks. If the Cardinals play that poorly defensively, they won't have much of a chance in this matchup. Los Angeles had a five-game win streak snapped when it lost in overtime to the 49ers, who had to win to get into the playoffs. Matthew Stafford threw for 238 yards, but with two interceptions against the 49ers. However, the Rams have Cooper Kupp, who became the first player since 2005 to lead the NFL in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving TDs. Kyler Murray was 28 of 39 for 240 yards against the Seahawks, but the key could be James Connor's rib injury that he sustained in the second half. AS of this publishing, he is still being evaluated. The Rams are 28-13-1 ATS their past 42 games versus NFC teams and 11-4-1 ATS overall following a loss. The Cardinals are 1-8-1 ATS the last 10 meetings and 0-4 ATS their last four playoff games. The UNDER is 13-4 in Arizona's last 17 road games, and they are 16-5 UNDER after allowing at least 30 points its previous game. Plus, Los Angeles is 17-5 UNDER as a home favorite. Take the Rams for a Max Play and the UNDER for a Max Play.
