The Cardinals are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings in Los Angeles and 3-12-1 ATS in their last 16 meetings.
I'm not running to the window to back either of these teams, but the Los Angeles Rams are at home, and they have the better defense, which is the best unit on either of these clubs. The Arizona Cardinals still have issues finishing drives offensively, and their defense continues to struggle to get off the field. Things usually don't improve on the road. The Rams have also won 9 of the last 10 meetings against the Cardinals. I'll lay the small number with the home team.
