Cardinals Beat the Point Spread and I Take the Over

Location:
St. Louis, Missouri

Date:

Arizona Cardinals:
The Arizona Cardinals are off to an unbelievable start this NFL season, with a perfect 4-0 record. Only the Houston Texans and Atlanta Falcons still have an undefeated record. Not many would have predicted the Cardinals to start 4-0, and I believe I heard they have started 4-0 since like 1974. It’s great to be a Cardinals fan, let’s see if they can make it 5-0.

St. Louis Rams:
The St. Louis Rams are batting .500 with a 2-2 record. They won lost week against the Seattle Seahawks, betting them 19-13. It’s a good thing this game is being played on the Rams home turf, they need every edge they can get. If St. Louis can win the turnover battle, they will have a great chance at winning this game.

Game Prediction:
Looking at the game, I would say hands down the Cardinals win by at least 9 points. However, the professional bookmakers are only favoring Arizona by 1 point. Yes, you heard me right, by 1 point. As a bettor, that would really concern me. There must be more to this game that others aren’t seeing. I’m still going to predict the Cardinals to beat the spread, and I would take the over. But if I can give any advice for this game it would be, bet with caution.
