Rams Wildcard Round: Cards vs Rams injury report, betting spread, over/under, schedule, live stream, TV channel

The LA Rams were always expected to compete in the NFL Playoffs at the end of the 2021 NFL regular season, but the euphoria is gone. The cheers and jubilation that usually accompany a victorious season are noticeably absent. This feels like a team whose fans have less hope than they did a year ago. Well, if you have an open mind, and a heart for competition, you may enjoy this one.

The goal for the 2021 NFL Season has been about getting ‘here.’ Where is here? Back into the playoffs. Forget everything that you know, or think you know, about the team and events that happened to get here. The regular season is the regular season. The real work, the work of hoisting the Lombardi Trophy and winning Super Bowl LVI only starts now.

If you need a shot of optimism, consider this. This team was just 9 points this season, a strip-sack fumble and a pick-six loss to the Green Bay Packers, from being the best team in the NFL. Pause and ponder that fact for a moment. A Week 12 win over the Packers would place the team atop the NFL right now.

That’s who they are right now. But that is just the regular-season team. This is the NFL Playoffs. Things happen faster. Pass rushers move quicker.  So what chance does this team have? A good chance.

Has anyone noticed how DL Aaron Donald has taken over in the last six games of the season? What about the production of Von Miller over the last four games?   Or even, the past two games for A’Shawn Robinson? The LA Rams defensive front is getting red hot, and that will accelerate in the NFL Playoffs.

Yes, the Cardinals can throw two or three defensive backs against LA Rams WR Cooper Kupp. But the Rams have proven the ability to run their offense through Odell Beckham Jr. and Van Jefferson in the past, and they will be prepared to handle the load in this one. But don’t ignore the fact that Cam Akers is back.  The Arizona Cardinals ended the season as the 20th ranked rushing defense. In their six losses, they averaged allowing 143 yards and one touchdown. That is their Achilles Heel, their Kryptonite.

The LA Rams can’t have missed that.

Take the Rams on the Moneyline (-180) to win outright
Take the UNDER at 50.0 (-110) in this one
