10* NFL Game of the Week
(NFL) LA Rams vs. Arizona,
Point Spread: 7.00 | -110.00 Arizona (Home)
Result: Loss
In their first meeting in week 7 the Rams won 33-0 and it was ugly. The defense gave up 425 yards and 28 first downs in that game. The Cards also struggled on converting 3rd downs and it was the first time they were shutout since 2012. Head coach Bruce Arians said his team will be ready this time and things will be different.
With a win here at home the Cardinals would be 6-6 and still in the playoff hunt.
Blaine Gabbert continues to be undervalued based on his performance in previous seasons. It's also a nice revenge spot for the Cardinals, who were embarrassed earlier this season. Arizona's offensive line is healthy and that is a plus. Despite Arizona's injuries at running back,Adrian Peterson is expected to play today. I'll take the Cardinals +7 to keep this one close at home.
