Resurgent Cardinals Host Rams in Week 3 and Seek Playoff Revenge on Sunday  

NFL Betting: Los Angeles Rams vs. Arizona Cardinals Betting Information

Last week the Cardinals betting on NFL season was over before it began.  Arizona was dead and buried in Las Vegas.  The Raiders had full control.  And Arizona quarterback Kyler Murray looked like he wasn’t hitting the books in preparation.  But Murray and the Cards rose from the crypt to score a resounding comeback win in overtime.  Now comes the moment of truth.  Arizona hosts the defending Super Bowl champion Rams.  Los Angeles routed the Cardinals in the NFC playoffs last January.  But the sluggish Rams have a Super Bowl hangover.

Indeed, Arizona’s season appeared to be falling apart shortly after it began.  One week after getting blown out by Kansas City, they took a 20-0 deficit into halftime.  But the afternoon ended with Byron Murphy Jr. scooping up a fumble and scoring in overtime.  A wild celebration followed after the payout over the Raiders.

Thanks to Kyler Murray, the Cardinals got off the brink and into the win column.  Indeed, Murray saved the season by making one spectacular play after another.

Arizona trailed 23-7 with less than nine minutes left in regulation.  But Murray led two TD drives and two 2-point conversions.  He passed for 277 yards and rushed for 28 more.  Further, Murray flummoxed the Vegas defense with his elusiveness.  In particular, was the scramble for a remarkable 2-point conversion with 8:13 to play.  And then Murray scrambled for a 3-yard touchdown on the final snap of regulation.  Following that was a slick pass to AJ Green for the tying 2-point conversion.
