The Rams and Cardinals are playing in the final game of the NFL’s super wild-card weekend. Arizona is traveling to Los Angeles to face the No. 4 seed Rams as the two teams face off in the first Monday night playoff game in NFL history.
The “Monday Night Football” broadcast is expected to be one of the most competitive matchups of the six-game wild-card slate. The Rams and Cardinals played twice during the 2021 regular season and split the series. Los Angeles is favored in this matchup, but Arizona was once the top team in the NFC and should, at the very least, challenge the Rams

Who will the Rams play if they beat the Cardinals?
Global Tech News DailyThe Rams are guaranteed to play the Buccaneers if they beat the Cardinals on “Monday Night Football.”
Los Angeles would play Tampa Bay because the Buccaneers beat the Eagles 31-15 in their wild-card matchup and the 49ers won their wild-card matchup 23-17 over the Cowboys. The Bucs will be the second-highest remaining seed in the NFC and they will face the third-highest remaining seed. Meanwhile, the No. 1 seed Packers, who had a bye for the wild-card round, will face the lowest remaining seed.
The 49ers are the No. 6 seed in the NFC, so they are guaranteed to be the lowest remaining seed by virtue of their win and the Eagles’ loss. So, Green Bay will play San Francisco while Tampa Bay will play the winner of the Arizona-Los Angeles game.

Who will the Cardinals play if they beat the Rams?
The Cardinals are also guaranteed to play the Buccaneers if they win on “Monday Night Football.”
Arizona gets to face Tampa Bay for the same reason that Los Angeles would. The Cardinals are automatically guaranteed to be the third-highest remaining seed of the four alive in the NFC. The top seed in the NFC, the Packers, gets to face the lowest remaining seed, which will be the No. 6 seed 49ers.
As such, the two remaining teams will face off in the other game. That will be the Buccaneers, who will host the winner of the game between the No. 4 seed Rams and No. 5 seed Cardinals.
