Week 13 – Sunday December 3rd

Los Angeles Rams

This game for some reason is always tougher.  The Rams seem to thrive on playing the Cardinals in Glendale.  Maybe the Cardinals get over-confident at home?

As noted from the prediction against the Rams in their first meeting in London back in October, the Rams have prepared to get better on offense.

They have defeated the Cardinals twice in a row at University of Phoenix Stadium.  They won 24-22 in 2015 and 17-13 last season after Palmer had to leave the game early due to injury and a special teams blunder that cost the Cardinals the game late.

Last season’s game in Glendale saw quarterback Case Keenum have a nice day.  Jared Goff had not yet taken over.  This time, it will be Goff leading the charge.  Will it make a difference?  It might. Let’s give the Cardinals the benefit of the doubt and pull one out at home this time against the Rams.
