Cardinals vs. Rams: NFL Week 12 Football Betting Free Pick

Scanning the remaining Week 12 NFL schedule we find an amazing amount of Donk vs. Donk type contests on the Sunday betting menu. The Cardinals visiting the Rams, Panthers vs. Colts, and Redskins @ Seahawks games feature teams with a combined 14-46 record.

That being said, one of these match-ups wets our sports betting appetite as the Arizona Cardinals travel east to face their NFC West rival St. Louis Rams. This is the Cardinals third straight road game – not good!

Cardinals @ Rams: NFL Week 12 Game Day Preview

Kickoff for this NFL Week 12 pro football betting action is slated for Sunday, November 27, 2011, at 1:00 PM ET, from the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, Missouri.

While we  are always a little leery of betting on teams that are as bad as the Cardinals and Rams, we are making an exception here. This is a re-match of the Cardinals 19-13 Week 9 win over the Rams.

Arizona ended that game, with a 99-yard punt return TD, after the Rams failed to score on their only possession in overtime. It’s going to be a tall order for the Cardinals to swept the season series.

NFL Week 12 Betting Lines: Rams vs. Cardinal Free Pick

Our Cardinals vs. Rams NFL Week 12 betting lines are courtesy the Sportsbook at the BetOnline online sports wagering website. We see nice value in the Rams over the Cards in this one.

Three things make this contest attractive to us. First, with QB Sam Bradford and RB Steven Jackson, the Rams have an advantage over QB John Skelton and RB Beanie Wells of the Cardinals.

Second, while both teams are dealing with a ton of nicks and bruises, the Cardinals took a huge when starting NT Dan Williams was lost for the season with a broken left arm.

Probably most importantly though, this is the third straight road contest for the Arizona Cardinals, and it’s an early start in St. Louis. Apart from a road trip that is split by a bye week, it is virtually unheard of for an NFL team to travel over three consecutive weeks.

Only the Saints, Colts, and Jets have completed a consecutive three game road trip during the NFL 2011 season. They all lost the third game. The Jaguars, Chargers, and Dolphins, who have played three straight on the road – separated with a bye week, all lost their third game as well.

Bonus Free Pick Parlay: Jets vs. Bills – Rams vs. Cardinals Two Team Parlay

New York hosts the Buffalo Bills, who are also on the road for a third consecutive Sunday. The Bills have bumbled and stumbled their way to three straight defeats.

They also just lost super star RB Fred Jackson, for the season, with a leg injury. We like the New York Jets to soar, along with the St. Louis Rams, during NFL Week 12 football betting action!
