Rams needed a win over the Cardinals on Sunday

he Rams needed a win over the Cardinals on Sunday and pulled it off thanks to their defense's impressive performance and backup quarterback John Wolford. Cornerback Troy Hill returned an interception 84 yards for a touchdown, while Wolford, playing in place of Jared Goff, passed for 231 yards and rushed for 56 more in his NFL debut.

Despite failing to score an offensive touchdown for a second straight game, Los Angeles snapped its two-game skid and earned its third playoff berth in four years.

Saturday's game will pit Wilson, who was an MVP candidate for most of the season, against the Rams' sterling defense and star tackle Aaron Donalds, who is widely regarded as the NFL's top defender.

Prediction: I’m leaning the Rams in this one. We know what Russell Wilson can do but I’ve been high on Los Angeles since the middle of the season and will continue to ride that team. After seeing John Wolford play last week, I’m even more confident in my pick.

Bet: Los Angeles Rams +3
