    Rams open as 12.5 point favorites. Dunno if this takes into account the Left Tackle situation.

    Btw, who plays LT for the next two games ?

    Do we know anything about Myles Garrett?

    Injury news.

    A.I.
    left tackle Paris Johnson Jr. suffered a season-ending torn left biceps injury during the final play of the Arizona Cardinals’ game against the Detroit Lions on October 11, 2026
    =================

    I’d guess this qualifies as a must-win, for the Rams?

    Yes, we know that regardless of health, Myles Garrett will NOT play OT.

    According to CBS, he’s expected back Week 7 against the Raiders.

    Arizona’s defense is surrendering an NFL-worst 8.5 yards per passing attempt, and its injury-ravaged secondary could be missing safeties Wydett Williams and Andrew Wingard.

    That’s a dangerous combination against Stafford, Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.

    The ground game offers another inviting opportunity. Detroit’s Jahmyr Gibbs gashed Arizona for 151 rushing yards and two touchdowns. With the Cardinals allowing 4.4 yards per carry, Kyren Williams and Blake Corum should have room to operate, but the Rams will be without starting left tackle Alaric Jackson, who was suspended for one game for punching Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb after the loss.

    The Cardinals are exactly what the doctor ordered for a Rams team still nursing the emotional wounds of Monday night’s meltdown. Stafford should feast against Arizona’s porous secondary, while Williams and Corum exploit a defense that couldn’t contain Detroit’s running game. To be frank Arizona simply doesn’t have the defensive personnel to survive four quarters with the Rams. McVay wins a game against his former offensive coordinator, and Los Angeles finally wins a game that doesn’t require a blood pressure check.

    Jeremiyah Love is out.

    Don’t think it makes much difference anyway because he isn’t exactly a ROY candidate. He’s been averaging 49 yards/game, and has 2 carries for 10+ yards in five games so far.

    Explosive plays differential this year:

    Rams: +13 plays of 20+ yards

    #1 in NFL

    Cardinals: -13 plays of 20+ yards

    #32 in NFL

    The Rams outgain opponents by 139.2 yards per game, #1 in NFL

    Arizona allows 2.94 points per drive, most in NFL

    Trey Mcbride. Tight End. 6’4″ 246 Lbs. 2nd Rd. pick.
    Ran a 4.53 at Colorado State Pro day.

    He’s had 42 receptions so far (which projects to 143 for the season)

    Mcbride is the first Tight End in NFL history to have consecutive 100 catch seasons.

    There’s no-one else on the Cardinals offense worth watching.

    And yet they put up 30 points against the 49ers.

    But in a very non-Rams like way…

    What are the early reviews of Mike LaFleur as a head coach?

    Cards Wire: They are mixed. He sounded good early on, and the offense has had more overall production than last season. However, the defense is terrible. He has become a little less transparent in his answers, and the offense really has been unimpressive with almost no big plays.
