The Arizona Cardinals may be tied for the best record in the NFC, but they need to keep winning, because the Seattle Seahawks are right on their tail. The Cards are 10-3 straight-up, with an excellent point spread record of 9-4, but the truth is they haven’t really looked like the kind of team that could steamroll their way right through the conference playoffs. The perception is that Arizona is very weak offensively, and maybe they are. Drew Stanton hasn’t completed much more than 50% of his passes, and there was no running game to speak of, especially without Andre Ellington, until Kerwynn Williams broke out for a hundred yards against Kansas City last week. NFL football betting fans should know that in the last fifteen quarters of football, Arizona’s offense has scored a grand total of two touchdowns.
BetAnySports customers have to be duly impressed with the way St. Louis has rolled over its last two opponents. They got up three touchdowns early on Oakland and took the fight out of the Raiders, coasting to a 52-0 win on this field here at at the Edward Jones Dome, then went to Washington, which is in the midst of a big mess, and shut out the Redskins 24-0, holding them to 206 yards. That’s the first time they’ve scored back-to-back shutouts in 69 years, and one of the reasons is that they are getting a pretty good pass rush on the quarterback now. For a while at the start of the season people were asking why St. Louis could not get any pressure on the opposing passer, especially with an All-Pro like Robert Quinn healthy and ready to go. But they have made up for some lost time, and now have 35 sacks, with Quinn, recently inked to a very lucrative contract extension, chalking up ten of them.
The Rams, like the Cardinals, have not been particularly productive on offense. Shaun Hill has started a lot of games in the NFL, but he’s really a backup at heart, just like Stanton, and maybe the difference between these teams is that the Rams might possibly have an emerging star at the running back position, as Tre Mason, a rookie, has fresh legs and has run for 628 yards (4.4 per carry). Perhaps the biggest selling point for people who want to move with the Cards in the NFL football lines at BetAnySports is the fact that they have been extremely effective at guarding the football, turning it over only 12 times all season long. And, to borrow a cliché, they “find ways to win.” Last week Kansas City looked like it was moving the football at will against them, but then Arizona tightened up on the defensive end of the second half and took advantage of the offensive limitations of the Chiefs to post a 17-14 victory.
