Overview
The Arizona Cardinals sit at 3-6 and come in on a one-game losing streak after falling 3-17 at the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9. Before that loss, Arizona beat the Dallas Cowboys 33-30 on the road, dropped a 16-30 decision at home to the Denver Broncos, beat the Los Angeles Rams 18-16 on the road, and lost 21-45 at home to the Detroit Lions. Carson Beck is set to make his first career start at quarterback for Arizona, while Trey McBride keeps piling up catches at a historic rate.
The Los Angeles Rams arrive at 5-4 winners of three straight, topping the Washington Commanders 20-13 on the road in Week 9. Before that stretch they beat the Los Angeles Chargers 24-9 at home and the Las Vegas Raiders 35-21 on the road, with their only recent blemishes a 16-18 loss at home to Arizona and a 34-37 loss at home to the Buffalo Bills.
The market lists Los Angeles Rams as 9.5-point favorites with a 39.5 total, and the projected score has the Rams winning 25-15. That line reflects the Rams' better record and current win streak, but Arizona already has a head-to-head win over this exact team this season, and that keeps this from being a laugher on paper.
Key players
Trey McBride needs seven receptions to pass Cooper Kupp's streak of eleven straight games with at least seven catches for the second-longest such run in NFL history, according to the NFL.
Carson Beck is in line to make his first career start at quarterback for the Cardinals.
Tyler Allgeier has 237 scrimmage yards, 193 rushing and 44 receiving, with two touchdowns, one rushing and one receiving, over his past two games.
Bam Knight had 98 scrimmage yards, 80 rushing and 18 receiving, in the last meeting with the Rams and has 60-plus scrimmage yards in two of his past three games.
Michael Wilson is part of Arizona's receiving corps this week with a projected 9.5 DraftKings points.
Keys to the game
Protect Carson Beck up front with Hjalte Froholdt and Jon Gaines II both out and Jayden Williams questionable, a tall order against a Rams front that's been getting home.
Feed Trey McBride in the red zone and finish drives with him in the end zone, since he's already had a touchdown catch in two of his past three games and is chasing a fourth straight at home with a scoring grab.
Slow down the Rams' ground game behind Budda Baker and Mack Wilson Sr., with Baker aiming for a third straight game against Los Angeles with multiple tackles for loss.
Fantasy angles
Trey McBride is a locked-in start at a projected 11.5 DraftKings points given his target volume and the active streak he's chasing.
Gardner Minshew II projects for 11.0 points, but treat him as a streaming option only given the uncertainty around Arizona's quarterback situation this week.
Michael Wilson, projected for 9.5 points, is a flex-level play in an offense trying to establish rhythm behind a new starter.
Tyler Allgeier, projected for 7.5 points, is a decent flex given his recent scrimmage-yard totals, but touchdown equity is split with Bam Knight.
Chad Ryland, projected for 6.8 points, is a thin streaming option in a game Arizona is favored to trail for stretches.
Prediction
The market projects a 25-15 Los Angeles Rams win, and that lines up with the gap between a three-game winning streak and a one-game skid. Arizona's path to flipping it runs through Trey McBride drawing targets inside the twenty and Carson Beck avoiding mistakes behind a banged-up offensive line, but the 25-15 number reflects where the smart money sees this one landing.
