Week 7 – Sunday October 22nd

@ Los Angeles Rams (in London)

The Cardinals will be making their first regular season trip overseas for this one.  The Rams made the trip last season and played in the same stadium in Twickenham against the Giants and lost.

The Rams will have the advantage of making this trip once already.  They will have the understanding of the time difference and what to do and not do differently from last time.

That being said, these two teams split with each other last year.  The Cardinals finished the 2016 season beating the Rams 44-6.

While I don’t believe this game will end 44-6, it could still be a higher scoring game than we are used to seeing between the two teams.  The Rams went out and drafted a number of offensive players at the skill positions to help.

It still could be a couple of years though before the Rams are back in the mix of things.  How the Cardinals handle the travel may be the deciding factor.
