The matchup
According to NFL game notes, Rams head coach Sean McVay has gone 16-4 against Arizona including the postseason, part of a 97-61 regular-season record overall. Arizona won the only meeting between the two teams this season, 18-16 in Week 6, but Los Angeles leads the regular-season series 51-42-2 and has won three of the past four meetings.
Los Angeles has won three straight: 20-13 on the road over the Washington Commanders in Week 9, 24-9 at home over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 8, and 35-21 on the road over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7. Before that stretch came back-to-back losses, a 16-18 home defeat to Arizona in Week 6 and a 34-37 shootout loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 5. Arizona, meanwhile, comes off a 3-17 loss at the Seattle Seahawks, sandwiched between a 33-30 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 8 and a 16-30 home loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 7.
Key matchups
Matthew Stafford threw for 228 yards and a touchdown in Week 9 and is chasing a sixth straight game with a touchdown pass. He's thrown one in 13 of his past 14 on the road, and in the last meeting with Arizona he went 222 yards with two touchdown passes and a 113.4 rating.
Myles Garrett is tied with Pro Football Hall of Famer Jared Allen at 128.5 sacks for second-most by a player in his first ten seasons since 1982. One more sack Sunday moves him past Allen, with only Reggie White's 145 standing ahead of him, and it would also pull him level with Allen and Danielle Hunter at 81 career games with a sack in that span.
Trey McBride needs seven receptions to push his streak of games with seven-plus catches to twelve, passing Cooper Kupp's eleven-game run for the second-longest such streak in NFL history behind Antonio Brown's fourteen. Just five catches would also lift him past Zach Ertz's 77 receptions for the most by a tight end in a team's first ten games of a season.
Kyren Williams and Blake Corum both carry touchdown streaks into this one, with Corum chasing a sixth straight game with a score and Williams having scored a rushing touchdown in two of his past three games. Nate Landman, who had seven tackles, a pass defensed and a forced fumble last week, is working on a sixth straight game with seven-plus tackles against a Cardinals offense that managed just 3 points last week.
Injuries that matter
For the Rams, Steve Avila (Hamstring) and Terrance Ferguson (Ankle) are out, while Myles Garrett (Knee), Trent McDuffie (Back), Davis Allen (Oblique), Kam Curl (Toe) and Joe Cardona (Ankle) are questionable. Puka Nacua did not practice and Aaron Donald also did not practice, with Tyler Higbee limited; none of the three carry a game status yet.
Arizona is down two offensive linemen, with Hjalte Froholdt (Concussion) and Jon Gaines II (Ankle) both out, plus Zachary Carter (Knee) out on the defensive line. Hunter Long (Knee), Jayden Williams (Knee), Max Melton (Knee), Roy Lopez (Toe), Andrew Wingard (Groin) and Darius Robinson (Wrist) are all questionable.
Fantasy angles
Puka Nacua projects for 23.5 DraftKings points, the top mark in this game, though his did-not-practice status without a game designation yet is worth watching before locking him into lineups.
Matthew Stafford projects for 15.5 points and is chasing his sixth straight game with a touchdown pass, a workable floor against this Cardinals defense.
Kyren Williams checks in at 14.0 projected points and has scored a rushing touchdown in two of his past three games.
Trey McBride projects for 11.5 points and has gone seven-plus receptions in eleven consecutive games, as safe a target share as exists in this slate.
Blake Corum rounds out the group at 11.0 projected points, riding a five-game touchdown streak into Sunday.
The pick
The market favors the Los Angeles Rams by 9.5 with a total of 39.5, and the market score sits at Rams 25, Cardinals 15. Arizona beat Los Angeles 18-16 in their only meeting this season back in Week 6, but the Rams have since ripped off three straight wins while the Cardinals are coming off a 3-17 loss.
Stafford's touchdown streak and a Rams defense getting after the quarterback with Myles Garrett closing in on history give Los Angeles the edge here, with the market numbers reflecting that gap.
