According to Las Vegas sports betting online, the Los Angeles Rams are 13-point favorites over the Arizona Cardinals. The Cards crashed and burned as home faves in a game where the Redskins covered the spread nine times over. ‘I Am’ Sam Bradford went 20 of 34 for 153 yards with no TDs and one pick. Also, he was sacked twice. This Sunday it’ll be a sort of homecoming for Bradford. Even though the game is in Los Angeles instead of Saint Louis. The St. Louis Rams selected Bradford with the first overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. That didn’t go off too well. Go off? Goff? As in Jared Goff? Words are fun!
Betting Arizona
These Cards don’t have a lot going for them other than history. So let’s take a peek at some Las Vegas sports betting online trends. Arizona is 8-1 SU in their last nine games following a loss. The Cardinals are 8-1 SU in their last nine games visiting a division rival. And they are 10-3 SU in their last 13 road games against the Rams. Of course, this is more a stroll down memory lane than something that might actually come to fruition.
Bradford’s season is just about to get a lot worse. Rams defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh has made it a mission to beat the snot out of the Cards QB. Suh was the second overall pick of the 2010 draft. And he has ever since held a grudge against Bradford for being picked first. That’s commitment.
Betting LA Rams
Goff threw for two TDs against the Raiders. Running back Todd Gurley rushed for 108 yards. Defensively, corners Aqib Talib and Marcus Peters held wide receivers Jordy Nelson and Amari Cooper to a total of 32 yards on four receptions.
Speaking of the Rams defense, let’s look at another Las Vegas sports betting online trend. According to the best on line sportsbooks, the total has gone under in five of the Rams’ last seven games at home.
