The NFC West has been tight all season, but finally some separation has occurred with the playoffs on the horizon. The Los Angeles Rams bested the New York Jets in Week 16 to win their fourth straight, securing a division lead with two games to go. The Arizona Cardinals, meanwhile, failed to outlast the Carolina Panthers in overtime of their last contest, resulting in elimination from the postseason altogether.
Now, the two rivals will go head to head in a Saturday night showdown with additional playoff implications. While Arizona is out of the race, Kyler Murray and Co. can still play spoiler — and perhaps audition for 2025 jobs — against a Rams team that is trying to stay ahead of the Seattle Seahawks, who won their game on Thursday night.
How can you tune in? Which matchups are most pivotal? And who’s primed to walk away with the win? Here’s our preview and sports betting prediction:
It’s wild how much has changed since September, when the Cardinals trounced the Rams, 41-10, and Kyler Murray looked like a potential MVP candidate throwing it up to Marvin Harrison Jr. Arizona has stayed relatively scrappy, but Jonathan Gannon’s squad has lacked a finishing touch, or a reliable passing attack (ranked 21st), leaving the Cardinals especially dependent on a ball-control rushing attack. That bodes poorly for a rematch in L.A., where the Rams haven’t lit the world on fire but are always liable to explode off the arm of Matthew Stafford. Plus, Sean McVay’s team still has January ball ahead.
