  • Losing David Johnson early in the year was a crushing loss for the Arizona Cardinals, and the team struggled to get anything going on the ground in the weeks after. But with Adrian Peterson around, the offense looked like its normal self last week in a win over Tampa Bay. The Cards travel across the pond in Week 7 when they tangle with the Los Angeles Rams in London.

    Sportsbook opened the Rams as 3.5-point faves with a total of 47.5.

    Shark Bites
    • The Cardinals are 6-0 SU in their last six games against their division on the road.
    • The total has gone UNDER in 12 of the Rams’ last 16 games in the early afternoon.
    • The total has gone OVER in eight of the Cardinals’ last 10 games as underdog.

    After wasting away in New Orleans, Peterson found new life in Arizona, rushing for 134 yards and two touchdowns in his new team’s 38-33 win. Prior to his arrival, the Cardinals had averaged just over 50 rushing yards per game in five games without Johnson.

    Carson Palmer was also able to tap into the fountain of youth, as the veteran completed 18 of 22 pass attempts for 283 yards and three touchdowns. Betting on Arizona to cover against the Rams has been a profitable endeavor lately, as the Cardinals are 6-2 ATS in their last eight vs Los Angeles.

    The Rams are coming off a 27-17 win over the Jaguars which saw running back Todd Gurley rush for 116 yards. Los Angeles’ defense recorded five sacks and forced an interception in the triumph, as the franchise continues to improve by leaps and bounds under first-year head coach Sean McVay.

    L.A. has traditionally had issues covering within the division. In the Rams’ last five vs NFC West foes, they’re a meagre 1-4 SU and 0-5 ATS.

    Those siding with the visitors in this matchup saw the Arizona Cardinals listed as 2.5-point underdogs at shops such as Sportsbook. Meanwhile, the OVER/UNDER line for the betting matchup was at 47.5 over at Sportsbook.
