Battle of the NFC West Basement \u2013 Cards Host Rams in Week 12<\/strong><\/p>\n It was only a few short weeks ago that the NFC West was looking like the most improved division in Football with all but one of the teams overachieving. That was then, this is now! <\/p>\n St. Louis Rams (3-6-1) vs. Arizona Cardinals (4-6)<\/strong> ATS Matchup Stats<\/a> | Gambling Insight!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Check out our in-house Handicapper!!! Buy Razor Ray’s Picks Today!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The Rams, despite tying the 49ers in Week 10 have looked pretty bad at times and the Cardinals have fallen off the map during their six game losing streak. Pride is all that is on the line Sunday in this divisional matchup, jobs for next year may be too!<\/p>\n The St. Louis Rams have looked good at times this season and they have looked so bad at others. Still, Jeff Fisher seems to be building something good \u2013 the Rams have already eclipsed their win total from last year and definitely have some pieces in place.<\/p>\n Sam Bradford has been the leader of the \u201cinconsistency club\u201d so far. He and the Rams are 21st in the NFL in passing and they could be without their only spark this week Danny Amendola who was spotted with a walking boot around Rams practice facility. Without Amendola, St. Louis looks lost in the passing game and will likely be stuck in neutral against Arizona\u2019s very good 5th ranked pass D.<\/p>\n St. Louis\u2019s running game has really carried the team. They are 12th in the NFL with Steven Jackson turning back the clock and rookie Darryl Richardson doing his part. The Rams have a chance at Arizona\u2019s 21st ranked run defense this week \u2013 the running game will likely be the key to victory.<\/p>\n Defensively, St. Louis has been OK and that\u2019s where Jeff Fisher has made his mark. The Rams are 14th against the pass and 17th versus the run. They aren\u2019t great but likely good enough against Arizona and starting QB……<\/p>\n Ryan Lindley will be Arizona\u2019s Quarterback this week after John Skelton was benched last week and Kevin Kolb has been declared out. Not good for a team that has lost six straight. The Cards lost a close one last week \u2013 23-17 on the road in Atlanta in a game that they generated five turnovers \u2013 BUT THEY STILL LOST!<\/p>\n The Cards own the 26th ranked passing game \u2013 poor Larry Fitzgerald \u2013 the QB play has been awful all season long.[soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n They also have the 30th ranked running games but should get Beanie Wells back in the fold \u2013 a sarcastic YAY for that move! The Cards are 30th in scoring with just 16.30 per game; they look out of sync and frankly not good at all!<\/p>\n It`s a good thing for defense. Otherwise the Cards would be even further down the standings. They are 7th in points against (19.60), fifth against the pass and 21st against the run. At least one unit is doing its job in Arizona!<\/p>\n Betting Prediction<\/strong>: <\/p>\n \u2022 The total has gone UNDER in 8 of St. Louis’s last 9 games when playing Arizona Normally in a game between two bad teams I automatically take the home squad. But if anyone watched the Arizona\/Atlanta game last week they would have seen a Cardinals team that doesn`t resemble an NFL squad on offense. The Rams aren`t great but they are at least NFL calibre. With Ryan Lindley at the helm the Cardinals are in for yet another very long day!<\/p>\n Pick:<\/strong> St. Louis Rams +1<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" St. Louis vs Arizona Betting Battle of the NFC West Basement \u2013 Cards Host Rams in Week 12 It was only a few short weeks ago that the NFC West was looking like the most improved division in Football with all but one of the teams overachieving.
