What is the story about?

Well, at least it is time for Carson Beck.

Now, can the Arizona Cardinals make anything of his opportunity, and is this a week to maybe take a chance on just playing the straight plays and not looking at too many player props this week

Here are the three best bets heading into the Arizona Cardinals matchup with the Los Angeles Rams, with all odds courtesy of our friends at FanDuel Sportsbook.

Cardinals/Rams under 39.5 (-110)

This is low, but with how the Cardinals defense has played against the Rams and last week against the Seahawks,

with the injuries both teams have on the offensive side of the ball with the playmakers and with how good the Rams defense is, it is either the Rams getting 30+ by themselves, or this one goes under 40.

Bam Knight Over 29.5 yards rushing (-114)

Knight has been the most explosive back consistently for the Cardinals and had 15 for 80 yards last game between the Cardinals and Rams.

Aaron Donald to record a sack (+188)

Donald has not recorded a sack in 2026. He gets Hayden Conner starting at center for the first time in his career with a rookie quarterback and a wide receiver room that has eight receptions combined this season.
