Arizona (home) vs. Los Angeles (away)

Current Records: Arizona 3-6-1; Los Angeles 6-5

What to Know

The Los Angeles Rams have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. Los Angeles and the Arizona Cardinals will face off in an NFC West battle at 4:05 p.m. ET on Sunday at State Farm Stadium. Bragging rights belong to Los Angeles for now since they're up 5-1 across their past six matchups.

It looks like the Rams got the smaller half of the wishbone at Thanksgiving dinner. They were dealt a punishing 45-6 loss at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens last week. One thing working slightly against Los Angeles was the run-of-the-mill game of their most targeted running back, RB Todd Gurley, who rushed for 22 yards on six carries.

Meanwhile, it was a hard-fought contest, but Arizona had to settle for a 36-26 defeat against the San Francisco 49ers two weeks ago. The losing side was boosted by QB Kyler Murray, who picked up 67 yards on the ground on eight carries and threw two passing touchdowns.

This next matchup is expected to be close, with Los Angeles going off at just a 2.5-point favorite. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (6-3), so they might be worth a quick bet.

With both teams hitting sour notes in their previous games, they will no doubt be looking to produce a better outcome in this one. Two stats to keep an eye on: The Rams are fifth worst in the NFL in passing touchdowns, with only 11 on the season. But Arizona is stumbling into the game with the most passing touchdowns allowed in the league, having given up 29 on the season. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
