Drew Butler, Anthony Becht, and Jonathan Casillas discuss their predictions for this weekend's NFL Wild Card game between Los Angeles Ramd and the Arizona Cardinals. This one features a line of LA -3.5.
This will represent the first ever Monday night NFL Playoff game.
Arizona at one time was the favorite to win the 2022 Super Bowl but came undone a bit to close the season, going 1-4 in their final five regular season games. This is a team that began the season 7-0.
"It's 0-0, and no one remembers the regular season," Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury said. "It's what you do here on out, and it's a real opportunity for us to take the next step and see how good we can be."
The Rams had a hot start of their own, despite their early loss to the Cardinals, opening with a 7-1 record. Then came a midseason slumber when they took consecutive defeats to a trio of playoff teams, the Tennessee Titans, the San Francisco 49ers and the Packers.
The Rams were just 2-5 against playoff teams this season.
