The Arizona Cardinals will be starting backup QB Jacoby Brissett in this contest, which generally means fewer pass attempts and more rush attempts.At a -9.5-point disadvantage, the Cardinals are huge underdogs this week, implying much more of a reliance on moving the ball through the air than their standard game plan.Based on their underlying play style and matchup dynamics, the predictive model expects the Arizona Cardinals to run on 33.5% of their chances: the lowest rate on the slate this week.The weather forecast calls for 2-mph wind in this game. Low wind generally means increased pass volume, and lower ground volume, increased touchdown potential, and better passing effectiveness.This year, the shaky Rams run defense has conceded a massive 3.98 adjusted yards-per-carry (YPC) to opposing rushing attacks: the 25th-highest rate in football.
