Los Angeles Rams at Arizona Cardinals (-2.5, 51.5)
Bearman: I’m probably going to be in the minority here, but I was in the minority in Week 4 when I picked the Cardinals to cover in Los Angeles against the Rams, and when I took a flier on them to win the West at +650. I’ve been on the Cardinals since August, and this is their chance to put the division away. In its Week 4 win, Arizona went in and dominated the game, rolling up 475 yards of offense and controlling the ball for 35 minutes in a 17-point win.
The Rams are loaded with talent across the board, no doubt. However, that talent has not produced the results on the field that we expected. Since losing to the Cardinals, the Rams are 5-3, with the five wins coming against teams with a combined 13-46-1 record. They lost to the Titans, 49ers and Packers — the only three .500-or-better teams they played.
