St. Louis Rams vs Arizona Cardinals Preview, Predictions, Betting Odds, Live Stream Info

With their best start since 1974, the 7-1 Arizona Cardinals are mindful that the visiting St. Louis Rams have developed a knack for delivering upsets this season.

St. Louis Rams vs. Arizona Cardinals

Don’t you dare call the Arizona Cardinals’ 7-1 start a fluke. With QB Carson Palmer hitting his stride and the defense ranked fifth in fewest points allowed, the Cards are a legitimate Super Bowl threat. The visiting St. Louis Rams specialize in disarming threats, as they come off an upset against the San Francisco 49ers that still defies logic. They’ll look to pull off another gridiron magic trick at University of Phoenix Stadium.

Keys to Victory

The Cardinals have forced nine turnovers during their current five-game win streak and sport a +10 turnover margin, so expect them to bring the hat and rattle Rams QB Austin Davis. St. Louis’ 28th-ranked offense has generated less than 400 total yards in the last two weeks and will need rookie RB Tre Mason to step up and deliver a big play or two to awake the dormant attack. The defense must duplicate its effort from last week, where they sacked 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick eight times.

Betting Odds

Point Spread: Cardinals, -7

Moneyline: Rams, +270; Cardinals, -325

O/U: 43

Prediction

Surely the Cardinals will eventually cool off, right? It doesn’t look like it will happen this week, as the Rams lack the offensive firepower to make it a game. Arizona RB Andre Ellington has been consistent much of the season, yet is due for a breakout performance, one which will come here.

Final Score: Arizona: 27, Rams: 9
