This will be a close game despite the players missing for the Rams, as the Cardinals usually don’t blow an opponent out or put them away. I expect Aaron Donald to have a field day inside both 3 techniques as his main target will be Center Mason Cole.  This will be affected on if Kyler Murray can play, or if Chris Streveler gets this start instead.

Arizona will get Deandre Hopkins going early, and I have a feeling there may be a flea-flicker of sorts sometime in the first half to try and shake off Jalen Ramsey and get a big play through the air. Arizona will most likely take a 10-7 lead via a fade to Hopkins going in to halftime.

Sean McVay and his offense will move the ball as always with the creative play calls from his playbook. Another thing to note is that with WR Cooper Kupp on the COVID-19 list, the Tyler Higbee/ Gerald Everett combination will be something to watch as Arizona is infinitesimally bad defending TE’s over the past few years.  One of these two will catch a late 3rd quarter TD to put the Rams up 14-10.

Heading into the 4th quarter, the Cardinals put forth a lengthy drive that will feature the offense converting a critical 4th down, and taking the lead with a QB Scramble for the go-ahead score at 17-14. The Cardinals get a stop with an interception by Isaiah Simmons to win the game.
