The Rams are favored slightly in the spread at -2 and -140 on the moneyline, reflecting confidence in their ability to secure a road win. However, the Cardinals show promise with a +120 moneyline, suggesting a potential upset. The total set at 48 points indicates expectations for a relatively high-scoring affair, aligning with both teams’ recent tendencies to push the score over.
Matthew Stafford QB vs. Kyler Murray QB
On the other hand, Matthew Stafford‘s season kickoff demonstrated his work ethic as he finished the game with 69.4% in passing, attaining 317 yards. Though he was sacked twice and threw an interception, his pass timing and percentage at this point was 85.2, which could be regarded as a job well done. The Rams will need the experience and nature of Murray’s quick throwing for aerial supremacy against the Cardinals’ defense.
Kyler Murray, on the other hand, is a high-caliber quarterback who also adds a different flavor to the Arizona offense. During Week 1, he threw 66.7% for 162 yards, not getting picked off with a tongue-in-cheek, even better passer’s rating of 91.1. That said, however, Murray was sacked 4 times, which might suggest an area of concern for the Cardinals’ offensive line and an area that the Rams could seek to exploit.
Rams’ Ground and Air Assault
The Rams’ offensive strategy leans heavily on the dual-threat capabilities of their team. Kyren Williams, though managing only 2.8 yards per carry, demonstrated reliability with a touchdown and consistent gains. The real star, however, was Cooper Kupp, who racked up 110 yards on 14 receptions. Kupp’s ability to break loose for substantial gains will be vital as the Rams aim to stretch the Cardinals’ secondary and create scoring opportunities.
Cardinals’ Response on the Ground and Through the Air
Arizona’s offense, spearheaded by James Conner in the backfield, mirrored the Rams’ average rushing stats, with Conner also rushing for 50 yards and a touchdown. The Cardinals’ aerial strategy saw Greg Dortch as a notable contributor with 47 receiving yards. The synergy between Murray and his receiving corps will need to be at its peak to exploit any lapses in the Rams’ defensive coverage.
