The Cardinals have a ton of injuries on defense and are a terrible defensive team as it is. They came back on the Seahawks without him and have actually been very good without him this season, but it's still a blow not having him. They are about as healthy as they have been all season, but unfortunately Cooper Kupp went down last week. I think the Rams are a 'buy low' type of team in the 2nd half of the season after their 3-6 start. Numbers matter folks, especially in the NFL. You could have had the 49ers -10 or the Buccaneers +13.5 at close and the 49ers won by 13. You could have had the Cardinals +6 or the Texans -4 last week and the Texans won by 5. You could have had the Steelers +4 early in the week and the Browns PK later in the week and they went off as 2.5-point favorites and won by 3. There were actually four games in the NFL last week where the books got middled, which is the most I can ever remember seeing in one week. That made all the difference because they closed as 2.5-point favorites and won by 1. I grabbed them as an underdog early in the week when the Matthew Stafford news broke that he would return. My 25* play on the Rams +2 cashed last week.
