Last week: 22 (+0)
Record: 2-2
Despite their records, St. Louis and Arizona actually have the same yards per play differential. Neither has a very good one (tied with 27th with Oakland), but the Rams have a very good chance to knock off the undefeated Cardinals this Thursday Night, especially on home with the Cardinals having to travel on short rest. Besides, after the Rams’ win last week, NFC West teams are 37-23 ATS in divisional games at home. Even the 49ers went 1-2 ATS on the road in the division last year. The Rams just beat a similar team in the Seahawks. We could see a big upset on Thursday Night. Stay tuned for my pick tomorrow night.
