Rams flip from 2.5-point underdogs to 1-point favorites vs. Cowboys

The Rams are now favored over the Cowboys.

Ever since the 2020 regular-season schedule was released, the Rams have been underdogs to the Cowboys in Week 1. That is, until now.

Just before kickoff on Sunday night, the line at BetMGM flipped from Rams +2.5 to Rams -1. It’s not a change that happens often, but it is certainly notable. It’s likely because of all the bets coming in on the Rams to cover the spread with 2.5 points, which caused the oddsmakers to shift the line more in the Rams’ favor to balance out the action on both sides.

There wasn’t any significant news that came out before the game to cause this big of a change, either, which points to the fact that there was probably an overwhelming amount of action coming in on the Rams getting 2.5 points.

Anyone who likes the Cowboys to win this game is now able to get a more favorable line with them getting one point instead of giving up 2.5.

Rams open as slight road favorites over Cardinals in Week 13

The Rams opened as 3.5-point favorites on the road against the Cardinals.

The Rams hope Week 13 brings a very different result than their 39-point loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night. Unfortunately, they’ll have to face a quarterback with a similar skill set as Lamar Jackson, and instead of being at home, the Rams will be the road team.

Still, despite their embarrassing loss to the Ravens, Los Angeles opened as the favorite over the Cardinals in Week 13. According to BetMGM, the 6-5 Rams are favored by 3.5 points against Arizona, which sits at 3-7-1 through 11 games.

The over/under is 47.5 points, so the oddsmakers expect it to be a fairly high-scoring game. It’s the fifth-highest total of any game this week.

The Cardinals are 5-1-1 against the spread in their last seven games, so they’ve done a good job of keeping games close despite being underdogs in each game. The Rams, on the other hand, 3-3 ATS in their last six games.

The Cardinals have lost four games in a row, but they were close to beating the 49ers twice and lost to the Buccaneers by just three points. This team is much better than its 3-7-1 record, so the Rams should not take them lightly.
