Bad Beat Of The Week: UNDER (55.5) Cardinals Vs. Rams

The Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams entered the week with a high total and many sports bettors were inclined to take the UNDER.

While 37 points was scored by halftime, UNDER sports bettors still felt confident their wager would cover with the Cardinals taking a 34-13 lead into the final quarter.

To start the 4th quarter, the Rams failed to convert a 4th & goal and gave the Cardinals the ball at the 1-yard line, the best possible result for the UNDER. The Cardinals took 8:27 off of the clock and only settled for a field goal, requiring the Rams to drive down the field for a touchdown with only 3:38 left in the game to cover the OVER.

The Rams offense struggled the entire game and with the matchup already out of reach, it felt like the Cardinals were going to put together a stop to end the game and allow the UNDER to cover. Unfortunately, QB Matthew Stafford drove the Rams down the field and threw a touchdown with 1:14 left in the game, a score that had no impact on the game itself, as the Rams still lost, yet left the UNDER gamblers frustrated at the late game defeat.

Fun Fact: The Buffalo Bills were 18-point favorites against the Houston Texans but covered the spread by 22 points in a 40-0 victory. In all 3 wins for the Bills this season, they covered the spread by 15 points or more. They are scheduled to play the Kansas City Chiefs next week. Let’s see if they can continue the trend.
