Los Angeles Rams

The Rams have won in Arizona the last two seasons.  That stops in 2017.  The Cardinals will be in the midst of making another playoff push while the Rams will likely be scheduling tee times for January already.

Ok, that might be a little harsh but seriously the time has come for Arizona to play like a playoff team at home against the Rams.  Two years in a row is too many to lose at home to this franchise.

Not saying it will be easy but there is a reason why good teams clamor for home games in December.  All the Cardinals need to do is avoid the trappings they have each of the past two seasons.

Don’t allow special teams to dictate the outcome and don’t allow the Rams defense keep you to consistent three and outs.  Don’t only move the ball, but score touchdowns doing it.

Cardinals will get their 10th victory of the season.  The march for the postseason is in full gear.
