The Arizona Cardinals open Week 13 as underdogs again. They have opened every single week this season as underdogs. Only one, against the Carolina Panthers when Cam Newton missed his first game, did the Cardinals finish the week as favorites.
This week, against the 6-5 Los Angeles Rams at home, they are not big underdogs.
According to BetMGM, the Cardinals are only 2.5-point dogs at home.
The over/under is set at 47.5 points, which seems low considering the Cardinals’ defense and the fact they have scored at least 25 points themselves in six of the last seven games.
Betting the moneyline for a straight-up winner, the Rams are -162 (you have to bet $162 to win $100) and the Cardinals are +135 (you win $135 with a $100 bet).
So far this season, the Cardinals are 8-3 or 7-3-1 against the spread, depending on the spread when gameday came around. They have been a good bet overall.
Hopefully, they not only cover the spread but also get the actual win against a Rams team that is struggling.
