Arizona -1 over L.A. Rams

Arizona -1 -110 over L.A. Rams

4:05 PM EST. The Rams played the Lions on Sunday Night Football in front of the sports-wagering world, and for the most part, they had a “good” showing in defeat, losing to Detroit on the road in overtime, 26-20, with many lamenting the fact that the Rams did not get to touch the ball in the extra frame. We’ll save our hot takes on the NFL’s overtime rules for another day and just focus on the fact that the Rams were a team getting love in the market before the season. Often, the market can’t wrap its head around something it hasn’t seen, so it makes sense that, since the Rams were a surprise playoff team last year, the market figured they could do it again this season. Regardless, the Rams didn’t lose much, if any, of their market standing last week in Detroit despite the defeat.

As for the Cardinals, they had the Bills on the ropes for about 30 minutes of game action, but then fell apart in the second half. It’s going to be easy to shrug off that collapse as the “same old” Cardinals, but surely the Red Birds learned something along the way—namely, protect the football when it matters most. Arizona had just one turnover on Sunday, but it came at the worst possible time, deep in its own territory with the score tied at 17. Five plays later, the Bills hit pay dirt and didn’t look back. The Cardinals' newly drafted Marvin Harrison Jr. was notably silent in his first game as a pro, as he was targeted just three times for four yards. However, it says much about the Red Birds' offense that they were able to go on the road in a hostile environment against a Super Bowl contender and score 17 first-half points without using their shiny new toy.

The Rams have owned the Cardinals in this series (winning nine in a row in Arizona), but we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention that they are limping into this game after losing #1 WR Puka Nacua to a knee injury, while their offensive line—already looking weak and shaky—lost starters Joe Noteboom and Steve Avila, both of whom (along with Nacua) were placed on IR. Injuries are part of the game, but taking a patchwork line on the road is not ideal, and while Nacua’s injury is getting plenty of coverage, the plight of the Rams’ O-line is not. Oddsmakers are aware that the Cardinals stock has been low for years while the Rams looked very impressive in prime time last week, yet they still made Arizona a favorite. If you bet against the Rams last week in prime time in Detroit, and a high majority of you did, you’re likely not fading them this week against a weaker side than the Lions. We are because this is precisely the type of game that we love to target. When the market is jumping on, we’re jumping off. 26-20, with many lamenting the fact that the Rams did not get to touch the ball in the extra frame.
