Rams at Cardinals picks and predictions

Prediction

Cardinals 24, Rams 20

Moneyline

The Cardinals (-120) have not beaten the Rams at home in 10 years and only have 2 wins over them since 2017.

But Detroit was able to run the ball against the Rams in Week 1, and the Cardinals had a top-5 rushing offense last season, led by RB James Conner.

The Rams are down to a 3rd-string left tackle and a backup center, as Noteboom and Avila both landed on injured reserve this week along with Nacua

It is Arizona’s home opener, which should give it a little extra juice.

The Cardinals will finally get the monkey off their back, but there are better odds with the spread.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Cardinals started the season 1-0 ATS. They built a 17-3 first-half lead last week over Buffalo, which then obliterated Miami on Thursday Night Football.

The Rams defense is not at the same level as Buffalo’s right now.

BET CARDINALS -1 (-110).

Over/Under

Between Conner and Rams RB Kyren Williams, this could be a run-heavy game, slowing down the pace.

Four of the last 5 meetings have not reached 48 total points.

BET UNDER 48 (-110).

Los Angeles Rams at Arizona Cardinals odds, picks and predictions: Player prop bets

Analyzing the Los Angeles Rams at Arizona Cardinals Week 14 matchup and offering up expert picks and predictions on the top player prop bets.

The Los Angeles Rams (8-4) and Arizona Cardinals (10-2) wrap up the Week 14 slate on Monday Night Football with a divisional matchup in the desert. Kickoff from State Farm Stadium will be at 8:15 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Rams vs. Cardinals prop bet odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

There are major playoff implications that come with this game between two NFC West foes as both continue their push to the postseason

The Rams snapped a three-game losing skid with a big win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 13. They leaned heavily on their running game in that one and received 121 rushing yards from RB Sony Michel — the most rushing yards by a Rams running back this season.

They’re two games back of the Cardinals in the NFC West and can’t afford to go 0-2 against their division rival having lost to Arizona already.

The Cardinals hit a couple of speedbumps against the Green Bay Packers and Carolina Panthers, but it’s been smooth sailing throughout the year outside of those two losses. They’re third in points scored per game and fourth in points allowed per game and are one of the best teams in football at the moment with balanced contributions on both sides of the ball.

Rams at Cardinals prop bet picks and predictions

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 9:31 a.m. ET.

Rams WR Cooper Kupp anytime TD scorer (-110)

Kupp, who leads all wide receivers with 11 touchdowns in 12 games, has longer odds to score tonight than RBs James Conner (-150) and Sony Michel (-130). Both players are also likely to score in this one, but getting Kupp at almost even money is too good to pass up.

The Cardinals are the only team to have really slowed him down this season but he’s still QB Matthew Stafford‘s favorite target, particularly in the red zone.

Cardinals TE Zach Ertz OVER 3.5 receptions (-149)

The Rams have allowed 64 catches to tight ends in 12 games this season. They’ve had trouble covering this position because of their lack of a rangy linebacker and due to the struggles of Taylor Rapp at safety.

TE Maxx Williams caught five passes for 66 yards and a touchdown in their first meeting with the Rams. I think Ertz goes over 3.5 catches and might even find the end zone.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray UNDER 26.5 rushing yards (-103)

Murray has rushed for only 85 yards in five career games against the Rams. He had 39 yards rushing in their first meeting this season, largely because he had a long rush of 18 yards.

Los Angeles has done a great job bottling him up on the ground, and Murray hasn’t been heavily involved in the running game this season compared to years past.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins OVER 59.5 receiving yards (-114)

Hopkins has not had a good season. The veteran wide receiver has topped 70 yards just twice and failing to go over 100 yards receiving even once. However, he now gets to face a Rams secondary that is unlikely to use CB Jalen Ramsey to shadow him.

He could get matched up with CB David Long Jr., who was benched earlier in the season after playing poorly against the Cardinals and now will be thrust into a bigger role due to CB Dont’e Deayon landing on the COVID-19 list.

Rams WR Van Jefferson OVER 52.5 receiving yards (-114)

I was tempted to take Jefferson over 4.5 receptions at +110, which is still a good value, but it’s safer to go with a receiving yards prop. He’s had more than 53 yards in three of his last five games and with WR Robert Woods being out for the season, he’s taken on a bigger role.

He could hit this prop with one long reception as the Rams’ primary deep threat and he caught six passes for 90 yards in the first meeting.

Los Angeles Rams at Arizona Cardinals odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Monday Night Football’s Los Angeles Rams at Arizona Cardinals odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Rams (8-4) hope to close their deficit in the NFC West standings when they visit the first-place Arizona Cardinals in the Week 14 Monday Night Football game. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET at State Farm Stadium. Below, we look at the Rams vs. Cardinals odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Rams snapped a three-game losing streak in Week 13 with a 37-7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. They trail the Cardinals in the NFC West by two games and a loss would effectively eliminate them from contention in the division. They are No. 5 in the league in scoring, but in their three-game skid, they averaged only 18.0 points per game.

The Cardinals can clinch a postseason berth with a win Monday. In QB Kyler Murray’s return from missing three games with an ankle sprain, he threw 2 touchdowns and rushed for a pair in a 33-22 Week 13 road win over the Chicago Bears. The Cardinals beat the Rams 37-20 in Week 4 in Los Angeles.

Rams at Cardinals odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Cardinals 31, Rams 23

Money line

The Cardinals beat the Rams on the road in Week 4. They have won three of their last four games. The Cards are undefeated (4-0) in division games (4-0) and they are healthy.

The Rams have lost three of their last four games, all against playoff-contending teams. They are shorthanded with their starting running back and right tackle on the reserve/COVID-19 list and CB Deayon out with an illness. Plus, starting offensive lineman Allen is doubtful.

Take the CARDINALS (-135).

Against the spread

The Cardinals are 9-3 ATS on the season. The Rams are 5-7 ATS and, before beating the Jaguars and covering the spread last week, they failed to cover the spread in five straight games.

This will be only the second time the Rams have been underdogs this season.

Take the CARDINALS -2.5 (-112).

Over/Under

Their Week 4 game went Over the O/U line (54) with 57 total points between them then.

The Cardinals have had three of their last four games cash Over tickets, while the Rams are 2-5-1 O/U in their last eight.

The Cardinals will keep up their offensive prowess and this game is critical for the Rams in the division race. They will not get blown out.

Take OVER 51.5 (-105).

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).
