Key storylines
The Rams (5-4) visit the Cardinals (3-6) in Week 10. The Cardinals won the first meeting 18-16, so this is a revenge spot. It is an NFC West game, which makes it worth a little extra in the tiebreakers.
Form check: the Rams are on a 3-game winning streak and sit 3rd in the NFC West, 2.5 games behind the 49ers. The Cardinals are on a 1-game losing streak and are 4th in the NFC West.
The Rams placed wide receiver Puka Nacua on injured reserve Nov. 12 with a knee injury and turf toe; he will miss at least four games (Los Angeles Times).

Who's favored
Both ESPN's predictor and the line lean Rams.
We don't make our own pick. These are ESPN's and the sportsbook's published numbers.
What is the win chance?
ESPN's matchup predictor, built on its Football Power Index. It simulates the game many times, and the percentage is how often each team wins. It is ESPN's number, not ours.
How do I read the line?
The point spread from a sportsbook. "GB -3" means the Packers are expected to win by about 3 points. The total (over/under) is the expected combined score of both teams.

Data note: scores, schedules, standings, injuries, lines, and ESPN's predictor come from ESPN's public APIs, as of Nov 13, 2026, 10:46 a.m. CT. Injury designations tagged as team reporting are cited supplements where ESPN's weekly report is missing or behind. Deadline and roster notes in previews and 60-second reads come from official announcements and cited reporting. Other written text is generated from the ESPN data and adds no numbers of its own.
