Week 15 Thursday Night Pick

Since taking over as a starter, Shaun Hill is 3-1
(via the LA Times)

Arizona Cardinals @ St. Louis Rams (-5) - The Rams have outscored their last two opponents (the Raiders and the Redskins) 76-0 in their last two games.  Meanwhile, the Cardinals trounced the Rams 31-14 in their last meeting in Arizona, but are without Carson Palmer in this one. 

Yes, the Rams last two opponents may look below average- then again, the Raiders have won 2 of their past 3 and Washington's offense has been better with Colt McCoy running the show.   Arizona's offense has been limited with Josh Skelton; the Rams defense has outscored the Cardinals offense in the past couple of weeks.   The Rams are now playing with a lot of confidence, and have already beaten quality teams at home including the Denver Broncos and the San Francisco 49ers.  Look for St. Louis to cover here against Arizona
