The Arizona Cardinals head into a Week 4 tilt with the Los Angeles Rams.

The Arizona Cardinals have not led the NFC West since Week 10 of 2020 when they sat at 6-3, holding a tiebreaker over the Los Angeles Rams and the Seattle Seahawks.

However, with the San Francisco 49ers falling to the Green Bay Packers in Week 3, and the Seahawks dropping their last two games, the Cardinals have a chance to hold at least a one-game lead in the NFC West if they come out on top against the Rams this weekend .

And while few are picking Arizona to upset a team many believe to be the NFL’s best, Los Angeles has several weaknesses that can be exploited, mainly in the running game, their pass defense, and their special teams units.

The Cardinals have favorable advantages in these three avenues, and they can even put up some big numbers in a couple of surprising areas, too.

Today, we will share three bold predictions that could push Arizona toward a W and their first 4-0 start since 2012. Some predictions, you will see coming. Others, not so much.
