For the first half of the season, the Cardinals were considered the team to beat with the NFL betting odds. Arizona flashed a complete look of excellence on both sides of the line. But after peaking with a 10-2 record, the Cardinals faded badly and blew the NFC West title to the Rams. Los Angeles played its best football down the stretch to capture home field for the Wild Card weekend. Now comes the ultimate question: Which version of the Cardinals and Rams will we get? Each team had moments of greatness and folly in 2021.
