Arizona staged a miraculous comeback to beat Las Vegas in overtime while the Rams nearly blew a 28-3 third quarter lead before defeating Atlanta 31-27 on Sunday. Kyler Murray threw for 277 yards and converted a clutch two-point conversion to send it to OT when Byron Murphy returned a fumble 59 yards for the game-clincher. Los Angeles had an extra three days between games after getting blown out by Buffalo on the opening Thursday of the season and the Rams still suffered a near-collapse in the second half when the Falcons outscored them 24-10. Matthew Stafford finished with 272 yards passing and three TDs, but with two interceptions and the Rams managed to run for only 65 yards on 26 carries. The Rams are 2-8 ATS their past eight games following an ATS loss and they appear to be not close to their Super Bowl-winning form yet and they are 2-6 ATS their last eight games overall dating to last season. This week the Cardinals will be focusing on getting off to a better start than they have the first two games and that spells trouble for Los Angeles and the Rams haven't shown that they can run the ball with any effectiveness. Take the Cardinals.
