The Cardinals (11-6) were once the NFL’s hottest team. They started out their season winning their first seven games, but then failed to win back-to-back games through their final 10 matchups. After taking their bye week in week 12, the Cardinals went just 2-4 down the stretch. One of the key reasons for their humbling run was penalties. Arizona was flagged 130 times this season including 61 times on the road, third most in the NFL. They will need to stay disciplined if they are going to win their first playoff game in six years. The game will mark the first playoff appearance in the young career of Kyler Murray and head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Murray is coming off a regular season where he posted his first 100-plus passer rating. “I expect him to probably play the best game of his career,” Kingsbury told reporters this week, “I know he’s going to give it everything he’s got.” The Rams (12-5) are back in the playoffs for the fourth time in Sean McVay’s five year coaching tenure in Los Angeles. This time they were led to an NFC West title under new quarterback Matthew Stafford who did not disappoint. The 33-year-old long-time Lion, ranked third in the NFL in passing yards and second to only Tom Brady in passing touchdowns this season with 41, which also matched his career high. Los Angeles did not rest on their laurels throughout the season, despite being one of the league’s top teams. Instead they were aggressive at the trade deadline adding Von Miller to a defensive line that already had Aaron Donald. Then they added to their receiving core by signing Odell Beckham Jr. following his release from the Browns. Beckham’s addition only gave Stafford another target despite already having this year’s receiving champion Cooper Kupp who led all receivers in catches, touchdowns and yards. Kupp’s 1,965 yards from scrimmage broke the single season record for a wide receiver set by another Stafford teammate, Calvin Johnson in 2012. The Rams are 3.5-point home favorites against the Cardinals. The over/under is 48.5. So, who wins this leg of the race to Super Bowl 2022?
