NFC West Division rivals will clash on Sunday afternoon, when the Arizona Cardinals travel to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to face the Los Angeles Rams. On Sunday, new Arizona head coach Steve Wilks’ debut did not go as planned during a 24-6 home loss versus Washington. The Cardinals managed just 213 yards of total offense and scored their only points with less than six minutes remaining in the game.

Arizona RB David Johnson totaled 67 yards and scored the only touchdown. Veteran WR Larry Fitzgerald led Arizona with seven catches for 76 yards. Sam Bradford made his first start for the Cardinals and threw for just 153 yards on 34 attempts.
The Los Angeles Rams have one of the most talented rosters in the NFL and could bring home a Super Bowl Championship if things fall right. On Monday, the Rams opened up their season with a convincing 33-13 road victory at Oakland. Los Angeles trailed by three points at halftime, but rallied to score 23 unanswered second half points. The Rams forced three turnovers and Marcus Peters sealed the game with a 50-yard interception return for a touchdown.

Los Angeles RB Todd Gurley scored the first touchdown of the season for his team and finished with 108 yards rushing on 20 carries. Jared Goff completed 18 of his 33 passing attempts for 233 yards and two touchdowns.

Arizona RT Andre Smith is undergoing an MRI after suffering an elbow injury on Sunday and his status for this contest is uncertain. With all their new pieces, the Rams still need time to gel before they will be clicking on all cylinders. Los Angeles was outgained by 30 yards on Monday night and will not cover this spread on a short week. Final Score Prediction, Los Angeles Rams win but fall short ATS 25-19.
