Arizona Cardinals at Los Angeles Rams Betting Preview

In this Sunday NFC game, Los Angeles has been projected as the big favorite and the team’s currently giving up 10 points. The Cardinals are also receiving +325 moneyline odds while the Rams are -475. There could be some good live betting scenarios while the match is underway.

Odds have shifted, as the line opened at -11.

The Cardinals are 0-1 straight up (SU) and the team has yet to face any NFC West opponents this year. The Rams are 1-0 SU overall and also 0-0 SU against divisional foes.

The Cardinals are still looking for win No. 1 after a 24-6 defeat to Washington last week. Sam Bradford completed 20-of-34 passes for just 153 yards and one interception. David Johnson (37 yards on nine rush attempts, one TD) led the ground attack in the loss while Larry Fitzgerald (seven receptions, 76 yards) and Johnson (five catches, 30 yards) shared the receiving duties.

Los Angeles just got a 33-13 win over Oakland a week ago. The defensive secondary allowed the Raiders to air it out for 303 yards. Jared Cook had a good showing in the loss, recording 180 yards and a score on nine catches for Oakland. For Los Angeles, Jared Goff completed 18-of-33 passes for 233 yards and two touchdowns. Todd Gurley II (108 rushing yards on 20 attempts) mounted the ground game in the win as Brandin Cooks (five receptions, 87 yards) and Kupp (five catches, 52 yards, one TD) led the receiving corps.

If the results last year are any indication, then it appears the Rams might be the more disruptive team in the trenches. Their offensive line allowed only 28 sacks last season while their D-line registered 48 sacks. The Cardinals O-line allowed 52 sacks last year and their defense sacked opposing signal-callerss just 37 times..
