Through 1 Quarter
The experts predicted a victory for the Arizona Cardinals, but it’s no sure thing at this point. After one quarter neither squad has the contest in the bag, but Arizona leads 3 to nothing over the Los Angeles Rams. The Cardinals’ offense has come from several players so far, with RB James Conner leading the way by catching three passes for 26 yards.
Both Arizona and Los Angeles padded the win column in their previous outings. The follow-up win here is still up for grabs, so expect a hard fought finale.

What to Know
After two games on the road, the Arizona Cardinals are heading back home. Arizona and the Los Angeles Rams will face off in an NFC West battle at 8:15 p.m. ET Monday at State Farm Stadium. The Cardinals are out to stop a six-game streak of losses at home.
Arizona beat the Chicago Bears 33-22 last week. It was another big night for Arizona’s QB Kyler Murray, who passed for two TDs and 123 yards on 15 attempts in addition to rushing for two TDs and 59 yards.
Arizona’s defense was a presence as well, as it collected four interceptions. Those interceptions were spread across their defensive unit.
Meanwhile, Los Angeles ran circles around the Jacksonville Jaguars last week, and the extra yardage (418 yards vs. 197 yards) paid off. Everything went the Rams’ way against Jacksonville as they made off with a 37-7 victory. The game was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point Los Angeles had established a 30-7 advantage. Their success was spearheaded by the efforts of QB Matthew Stafford, who passed for three TDs and 295 yards on 38 attempts, and RB Sony Michel, who rushed for one TD and 121 yards on 24 carries. That nimble footwork stands out as the first time Michel has hit the 100-yard rushing mark this season.
Special teams collected 13 points for Los Angeles. K Matt Gay delivered a perfect 3-for-3 game.
This next contest is expected to be close, with Arizona going off at just a 2.5-point favorite. They are currently two-for-two against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.
Arizona is now 10-2 while the Rams sit at 8-4. The Cardinals are 7-2 after wins this year, Los Angeles 5-2.
