Who can extend their record to 4-0?

The only duel between two still unbeaten teams is coming up on Sunday in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Rams welcome the Arizona Cardinals for the somewhat surprising top game in the NFL.

But it’s not that surprising, since we already declared the Rams as secret favourites before the season. However, not everyone would have expected the Cards to be able to keep up so far and not to have lost a game yet.

This matchup also features the duel of two top quarterbacks Currently both Matthew Stafford and Kyler Murray are on MVP course and belong to the top 5 candidates for this award. But who will have the better nerves on Sunday?

Once again, we are counting on the Rams, so our prediction for LA vs. Arizona is a win for the home team. The Rams have already shown in the previous week against Tampa that they can also dominate absolute top teams. We see them as a little further along in their development compared to the Cards.

Kickoff of the top game of NFL Match Week 4 is Sunday at 10:05 p.m. in Los Angeles. The match will be broadcast live on DAZN’s RedZone. Other NFL Week 4 games are also on the schedule this weekend, not least the 49ers’ second NFC West clash with the Seahawks.

That was a big exclamation mark the Rams put on the Buccaneers last Sunday. It takes a lot to dominate the reigning champs like that – and it immediately washes the Californians into the top 2 Super Bowl favourites.

In fact, we don’t see a single team that’s better right now, which of course makes them favourites for the matchup with the Cards. Stafford is hot, the defense is getting better, and then the Rams are also the team in LA that can really talk about home field advantage (unlike the Chargers).

Stafford has it all figured out

It wasn’t just the pundits at ProSieben Maxx and the rannfl family who were impressed with Stafford and how easy he makes everything look. Against the Bucs, he was in complete control from kickoff and directed the Rams offense as if he had been there for ten years.

That speaks for his outstanding understanding of the game, which he unfortunately could show far too seldom in Detroit. Nine touchdowns with only one interception are also strong numbers. In terms of passer rating Stafford even ranks 2nd behind Wilson with 129.8

Defense better than stats

Their defense was on fire again against the Bucs, too, which the numbers don’t reflect at all. For the second straight game, they allowed 24 points, but while that number is usually considered mediocre, the Rams defense is playing terrific. Why?

When their offence only ever needs a few minutes to score a touchdown, the defence is naturally quick on the fed. And with the usual high scoring games of the Californians, it would be difficult for any defence in the world to keep the opponent under 20 points.

In this respect, the 20.7 points conceded on average are already top. This slight advantage on defence further boosts their favourite status for Sunday and for Rams vs Cardinals, a bet on both LA and over points is recommended.

Key Players:
 – QB: Matthew Stafford
 – RB: Darrell Henderson

United States Arizona Cardinals – Statistics & Current form

The Cards are one of only five teams still undefeated. Unfortunately for them, they now face one of the other four teams on Sunday – and in our opinion, the best one. However, they are not without a chance.

Because with Kyler Murray at quarterback, anything can happen. He has days when he picks apart every defence as he pleases, but on others he overdoes it and throws a few interceptions. He’s already got four this season.

Murray still too inexperienced for the Olympus

This is also the difference to Stafford, where everything looks a bit more deliberate and who, with a TD/interception ratio of +8, is also much better than Murray (+3). Murray is still good for an upset now in LA, even if we don’t see it as particularly likely.

Because besides Murray, their defence is not quite on the level of their upcoming opponent Despite a J.J. Watt or Chandler Jones, we’d rank the Cards defence a little behind LA’s. Especially since Watt hasn’t really hit his stride yet this season

Defence sometimes floppy sometimes top

With 21.7 points conceded per game, they are only one point behind the Rams here, but their opponents have also been a notch weaker. All in all, we think they’ll settle in at an easy 2-3 point difference to the Rams towards the end of the season.

That point and Stafford’s superiority will make it tough for Arizona on Sunday. The odds on the Rams vs. Cardinals are much more recommendable, especially since the bookmakers see them in the lead by a narrow margin. In addition, we expect a high scoring game, as is usual with these two teams.

Key Players:
 – QB: Kyler Murray
 – RB: Chase Edmonds
 – WR: DeAndre Hopkins
 – WR: Christian Kirk
 – K: Matt Prater

Los Angeles Rams – Arizona Cardinals Head-to-head comparison / H2H record

If there needed to be any further proof of why the Rams are clear favorites on Sunday, here it comes. All of the last eight head-to-head duels against Arizona have been won by LA

Last year, they won once by an eleven-point difference and once by a ten-point difference. Sure, the Cards have strengthened with Watt and Green, but so have the Rams with Stafford – and at the most important position of all.

So a tip on LA is a clear affair with Rams vs. Cardinals. If we combine this low value tip with over-points (which are also probable), then we even come to odds that are worth looking at.

United States Los Angeles Rams – Arizona Cardinals United States Tip

Many things are in LA’s favour, so we’re also backing LA, especially since the betting sites only see them ahead by about 4.5 points. That could end up being more clear-cut after all. That’s why handicap bets on the Rams are worth considering.

However, since we also expect a high-scoring game (after all, both teams average over 30 points), a bet on the home team + over points is our betting option of choice for Los Angeles vs. Arizona
