Rams at Cardinals: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Rams 28, Cardinals 25
Money line (?)
The Cardinals have lost three of four overall and are currently on a six-game losing streak against the Rams. They have not been as effective offensively the last two weeks and the Rams have a very good defense. Take the RAMS (-152).
Against the spread (?)
The Cardinals are 3-1 against the spread as underdogs this year, but with only a 2.5-point spread, it will be very hard for the Cardinals to cover and still lose. Take the RAMS -2.5 (-115) to win by at least 3 points.
Over/Under (?)
Both the Rams and the Cardinals are 3-8 against the O/U this season, but both teams can move the ball. The 47.5 projection is low. Take OVER 47.5 (-115).
