The NFC West has given football fans some of the best teams and best matchups over the years and this year is no different. If the season ended today, three of the divisions’ four teams would make the playoffs, headlined by Arizona and Los Angeles.

At 10-2, the Cardinals have the league’s best record and already trounced the Rams once this season, winning 37-20 while notching a season-high 216 yards on the ground as part of a 465-total yard effort. The Cardinals are third in scoring offense and fourth in scoring defense as well as second in red zone offense and third in third down defense.

So there’s very little the Cardinals don’t do well, and much of this has been without quarterback Kyler Murray, wide receiver AJ Green or tight end Zach Ertz at various points this season.

The Rams sit at 8-4 but have scuttled a bit of late. Losers of three of their last four, Sean McVay’s squad has been its usual prolific offensive self, but has faltered a bit on defense. Even with Aaron Donald, Jalen Ramsey and the addition of Von Miller, the Rams have given up the 17th most points and the 11th most yards, with most of those coming through the air.

LA is coming off a dominant 37-7 win over Jacksonville, but the Rams have struggled against better teams this season. They’ll be without Ramsey against the Cardinals, meaning an already suspect pass defense could be exploited more. But, if they can stop the run and get to Matt Stafford, they may have a chance at avenging the early season loss.
