2021 NFL Playoffs: Wildcard (Monday game)

Arizona Cardinals (+3-1/2) at Los Angeles Rams: The Cards were arguably one of the best teams in the NFL in the first half of the 2021 season, getting off to a 7-0 start. However, key injuries hampered them over the final ten games as they went 4-6, with four of those losses coming against non-playoff teams. 


After spending the first 12 years of his career in Detroit, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford finally takes the helm of a team built to make a sustained playoff run. In 2021, Stafford tied a career high in touchdown passes with 41 but he also threw 17 INTs. 


These division rivals split the two regular season meetings with the road team prevailing in each contest. Despite an impressive 8-1 road record, the Cardinals still have too many injuries to overcome. As such, Stafford will secure his first career postseason victory.
