NFL Week 17 picks: 98% of experts are on one side in Rams vs. Cardinals

There’s a clear consensus among experts heading into Saturday night’s Rams-Cardinals game

There’s a clear consensus among experts in Saturday night’s game between the Rams and Cardinals. With Los Angeles being a 6.5-point favorite over Arizona, it should come as no surprise that the majority of experts are picking the Rams to win outright at home.

According to Tallysight, 98% of experts are taking the Rams to beat the Cardinals. Confidence is a bit lower when it comes to Los Angeles covering the 6.5-point spread, with only 59% picking the Rams to win by at least seven points. Experts also believe it’ll be a slightly lower-scoring game than anticipated, with 52% picking the under of 48 points.

In their first meeting of the season, the Cardinals crushed the Rams, 41-10. However, Puka Nacua was not available for that game, Cooper Kupp suffered an ankle injury in the loss and Tre’Davious White was starting for the Rams.

Things look much different now with Nacua, Kupp and Darious Williams all healthy, as well as the offensive line being at full strength. The Cardinals, on the other hand, are banged up and have nothing to play for after being eliminated from playoff contention last week.

The Rams won four straight games and covered the spread in all four of them, so they’re rolling right now and hoping to keep the momentum going on Saturday night.
