Arizona's offense had an overperformance in Week 1, scoring 28 points on Buffalo, but a key 96-yard kickoff return inflated their total. Kyler Murray, the team's leader, was under duress, holding the ball longer than any other QB, leading to an 80% pressure-to-sack rate. The Cardinals' offense remains run-heavy, ranking bottom five in pass rate over expectation last season. This tendency to grind the game on the ground combined with poor separation from their pass catchers in Week 1 suggests limited explosive potential in the passing game. Furthermore, Arizona’s offensive line is compromised with RT Jonah Williams out, forcing veteran Kelvin Beachum to start, and his history indicates the potential for more protection issues.
On the Rams’ side, injuries have ravaged their offensive line and receiving corps. Second-year WR Puka Nacua’s absence strips Matthew Stafford of a crucial weapon. In addition, offensive line struggles were evident as Steve Avila and Joe Noteboom's injuries leave major gaps, with questionable depth to back them up. Even if veteran Rob Havenstein returns, shuffling players like Warren McClendon Jr. into unfamiliar roles can still cause inefficiencies upfront, especially considering Arizona could generate more pressure than their low Week 1 stats suggest. The Rams' passing game also struggled to generate separation, as they ranked in the bottom three in Week 1, with no receiver standing out in creating space from defenders.
On defense, both teams had difficulty generating pressure in their openers, with the Rams ranking dead last in pressure rate. Still, Arizona has the tools to exploit the Rams' injury-plagued offensive line, potentially forcing Stafford into shorter, less efficient throws. Even if the Cardinals’ defense allowed Josh Allen to slice through them, some of their performance was due to bad luck, like the improbable catch by rookie WR Keon Coleman, and the secondary still managed tight coverage overall.
The Rams' receiving core is banged up, and Stafford’s lack of healthy, reliable options in the passing game limits L.A.'s ability to exploit Arizona’s defensive lapses from Week 1. With both teams leaning on run-heavy strategies and passing attacks hampered by poor separation and injuries, the clock will be ticking faster than points can be put on the board.

Kyren Williams over 73.5 Rushing Yards (-120 Fliff/Caesars)
Kyren Williams loves to play the Arizona Cardinals and we should see another big game out of him here vs a bad run defense. The Cardinals were the worst run defense last season and they opened up week 1 giving up 130 yards to the Bills. Williams is over this line in 8/L11 games and in 2/L3 vs Arizona. Kyren faced the Cardinals twice last season and had 158 yards and 1 TD and 143 yards rushing and 2 TD against them.
McVay clearly schemes for Kyren in this matchup and gets him involved early and often with 20 and 16 rushing attempts in each of those games. Puka Nacua suffered a knee injury in the Rams Week 1 loss to the Lions, so we should see Williams usage pick up even more with the 2 best options on this offense now being Kupp and Williams.
I will most likely look to ladder him, but I am not sure exactly what I am gonna do with it yet, so I will update later today when I wake up.

The Rams’ injury issues are mounting and could significantly impact their performance this week. Wide receiver Puka Nacua will be sidelined for several games, while multiple injuries on the offensive line and in the secondary further weaken the team. Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp remain a potent duo, and Sean McVay is one of the best minds in football, but overcoming these injury obstacles against a motivated Arizona team may prove difficult. Los Angeles struggled on the ground in Week 1, averaging just 3.6 yards per carry and totaling only 83 rushing yards. The lack of ground game balance and the offensive line injuries are glaring weaknesses. Defensively, the Rams are struggling, giving up 5.3 yards per rush and 163 rushing yards per game, ranking them 25th in the league in rush defense. The Rams’ defense also ranks poorly in total yardage allowed (363.0 yards per game, 23rd in the NFL) and points allowed (26.0 per game, 20th). Their pass defense is slightly better but still middle of the pack, surrendering 200.0 yards per game.
Arizona, coming off a competitive loss to the Bills, showed signs of life in Week 1. Kyler Murray threw for 162 yards and ran for 57 yards in a solid dual-threat performance. Although the Cardinals' offense hit a mid-game slump, they have the tools to exploit the Rams’ defense. Marvin Harrison Jr. should see more involvement this week, especially with the Rams’ secondary being banged up. The Cardinals’ rushing attack was efficient in Week 1, averaging 5.0 yards per carry for a total of 124 yards. If Arizona can establish the run and control the clock, they’ll have an edge against a Rams defense that was gashed for 163 yards on the ground last week.
Despite being over .500 against the spread as road underdogs, the Rams face too many issues to pick up a win in Arizona. The Cardinals are primed to capitalize on a defense that allowed 6.0 yards per play last week. With Aaron Donald no longer terrorizing offensive lines, and the Rams missing key personnel, this game tips in Arizona’s favor.

Injuries are killing the Rams here, but I think the market has overreacted. Matthew Stafford shredded in the second half Sunday even without Puka Nacua and the offensive line banged up. I have the Rams favored and am willing to take the plus money.
