Their Week 4 matchup with the Cardinals could look tough on paper, but recent history favors the Rams in this one.Los Angeles has never lost to Arizona during Sean McVay's time as the coach of the Rams. He holds an 8-0 record against Arizona and the Rams have won those games by an average of 20 points. Only one of the games was decided by fewer than 10 points.It's worth noting that Kyler Murray was only the Cardinals' starting quarterback in four of those games, but his numbers Larry Centers Jersey have still been poor against the Rams defense. He has logged a completion percentage of 58.7 against the Rams and has generated six total touchdowns compared to seven turnovers.Brandon Staley may be gone, but Raheem Morris has proven adept at getting his defense to perform in key spots. He should find a way to keep Murray off-balance. Murray has thrown four interceptions through three games this season, so he is liable to make some mistakes against the Rams' strong secondary.After all, we saw what the Rams did to Tom Brady and the Buccaneers last week. The defenselimited Tampa Bayto 17 points before the Bucs made things respectable with a garbage-time touchdown in the Rams'34-24 win.On the other side of the ball, the Rams' offense is averaging304.3 pa sing yards per game, good for the sixth-most in the NFL. The Cardinals have been solid against the pa s this year, but they may have trouble slowing down the Rams' arsenal of weapons. They simply don't have the cornerback depth needed to cover the likes of Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods, Van Jefferson and a seemingly rejuvenated DeSean Jackson.The Rams can win this one by a touchdown; given their history, they should. You can trust them as favorites this week even though they're facing another undefeated team.Chiefs (-7.5) at EaglesThe Chiefs haven't been trustworthy against the spread of late. In fact, since the beginning of the 2020 season, they are just 8-14 and they're 0-3 ATS this year. They alsohave the second-lowest cover percentage in the NFL (36.4) in that span.Only the Jets (31.6) are worse.That said, Kansas City should be hyper-motivated to win their Week 4 contest. They're sitting at 1-2 on the season and are in last place in the AFC West. They're guaranteed to remain Kyler Murray Hoodies Sweatshirts there for another week, but they have to start thinking about catching the Raiders and Broncos, who are both 3-0.The Eagles will give the Chiefs a good chance to win. Philadelphia just struggled immensely to stop the Cowboys' offense. The Cowboys run the ball better than the Chiefs, but Clyde Edwards-Helaire should be able to take advantage of the
