The Arizona Cardinals (8-7) visit the Los Angeles Rams (9-6) Sunday of Week 17 in a game that will determine both NFC West rivals’ playoff fate. Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. ET at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. Below, we take a look at the early Cardinals-Rams betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.
The Cardinals are coming off a disappointing performance in Week 16, losing 20-12 at home to the depleted San Francisco 49ers. Third-string QB C.J. Beathard threw three touchdown passes without an interception and backup RB Jeff Wilson rushed for a career-high 183 yards and added a 21-yard touchdown reception for the 49ers. Cardinals QB Kyler Murray was held without a passing touchdown or rushing touchdown, finishing with 247 passing yards and an interception.
The Rams lost their second game in a row, falling 20-9 to the Seattle Seahawks. Even worse, Rams QB Jared Goff broke his thumb and will miss the season finale. He still played the entire game vs. Seattle, throwing for 234 yards without a TD and one interception. Meanwhile, WR Cooper Kupp was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday and his status is up in the air for Week 17. It’s unknown if he tested positive or if he was exposed to someone who did. He will have to self-quarantine and be away from the team until he clears COVID-19 protocol.
