Los Angeles Rams (5-4) @ Arizona Cardinals (3-6)
Sunday, November 15, 4:05 PM ET
Extremely bad news for the Los Angeles Rams as they just placed Puka Nacua on IR with a knee injury he suffered in Week 9.
With Davante Adams already on IR and hurt, the Rams are truly out of answers at the wide receiver position. They should be competitive in trying to add someone at the deadline, but what could they realistically do at this stage without a 1st-round pick in 2027 that will substantially help the team?
Using that 13th overall pick in the Spring on a receiver is sure sounding good right about now…
Luckily for the Rams, they are going up against Carson Beck, who is set to make his NFL starting debut after Gardner Minshew suffered an injury in Week 9.
Beck’s NFL starting debut is shaping up to have a major “welcome to the NFL” moment or two (or three) after Myles Garrett racked up 3 sacks in his return to the field for the Rams last week.
We’ll see how the line moves as the week progresses, but the Rams still have enough to be justified as whopping 9.5-point favorites on the road. I think they can find ways to overwhelm Beck in his debut.
Prediction: Rams win 24-9
