Dan Caesar’s Thursday night NFL pick

Kickoff: 5:25 p.m., NFL Network

Records: Arizona 10-3, 3-3 away. St. Louis 6-7, 3-4 home. Line: StL by 4 O/U: 39 1/2

Synopsis: Thanks to their stout ‘D’ (two shutouts in a row, with 13 sacks), the Rams – are on the upswing and face a team that has scored just four offensive TDs in its past four games. NFC West-leading Arizona (NFL’s No. 23 offense) has struggled since Drew Stanton took over at QB after Carson Palmer suffered a season-ending knee injury a month ago. The Rams’ offense is improved but faces a foe that gives up just 18.3 points a game. Pick: Rams 20-17. – Dan Caesar, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
