Preview, Playoff picture and how to watch

The 9-6 Los Angeles Rams take on the 7-8 Arizona Cardinals in the final of today’s NFL Saturday games.

The Rams have won four in a row and look to keep that momentum going into the final two weeks of the regular season and defend their No. 1 position in the NFC West.

Playoff picture

The 9-7 Seattle Seahawks are just one game behind the Rams in the NFC West. The two teams meet in Week 18 in a potentially decisive game. The Rams beat the Seahawks 26-20 in Week 9.

A Rams loss tonight would set up a winner-take-all battle for the NFC West title in Week 18 against the Seahawks. Now, if the Rams lose their final two games, the final two NFC spots would go to the 10-5 Washington Commanders and the NFC South winner.

On the other hand, a win for the Rams would potentially give them the NFC West crown – depending on how six other game results affect their winning power.
