The Arizona Cardinals host the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday at University of Phoenix Stadium

The Arizona Cardinals will be looking to get back on the winning track on Sunday afternoon, facing the Los Angeles Rams at 1:25 p.m.  It will be the first game for the Cardinals against the Rams since the Rams moved back to Los Angeles.

After their loss to the Buffalo Bills this past Sunday, the Rams game won’t be able to get here fast enough.  The Cardinals placed a couple of players, linebacker Alani Fua and tight end Troy Niklas, on the injured reserve this week. They also made several other roster moves.

So which Cardinals team will show up on Sunday?  Will it be the one who floundered against the New England Patriots and the Bills or the one that dominated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?

The Cardinals have started off slow in all three contests.  It will be important to get off to a better start on Sunday.  The Rams defeated the Cardinals 24-22 last season at University of Phoenix Stadium on the same first October weekend.

It is expected the Cardinals will play better.  It shouldn’t be able to get much worse.  Here are five predictions for this Sunday’s game.
