Preview

 The first two games the Rams offense looked horrible and it would have been hard for them to play any worse. They scored a total of nine points while Keenum passed for 120 yards with no TD’s and two picks against SF in the first game and then 239 yards and no TD’s the second game. The running game managed a total of 129 yards combined in both of those games. It looked like a repeat last week for most of the first half as they came back down 20-10 to the Bucs to win the game and put 37 points on the board. Keenum passed for 190 yards and two TD’s and Gurley ran for 85 yards and two TD’s. The Cards played a tough game against the Patriots but lost 23-21 and then beat up the Bucs 40-7 picking off Winston four times and recovering a fumble. And amazingly last week in a beating by the Bills did the exact same thing. Palmer was picked off four times and they lost a fumble and the game 33-18. The oddsmakers have this game with Arizona as an 8-point favorite and the total at 43. The public money is on Arizona, according to Covers.com Consensus Analysis 59 percent of bettors are backing the home team.
