Rams by 3½, 40½

Arizona snapped its two-game losing streak with a gritty 17-14 win over Kansas City, despite another so-so performance from QB Drew Stanton (15-of-30 passing). Stanton has thrown two TDs and three INTs over the last three games. The Rams have posted back-to-back shutouts for the first time in 69 years, thanks in part to rookie DT Aaron Donald. He leads all rookies with seven sacks, including one in each of the last four games. The Cardinals' sixth-ranked run defense will try to bottle up Tre Mason and force the Rams to throw.

Matt Baker's pick: Rams, 17-14
