Cardinals vs Rams prop betting picks: Best bets for Saturday’s game

On By Littum

The Arizona Cardinals kissed their playoff chances goodbye last week with a loss to the Carolina Panthers. The Rams, on the other hand, are virtually a lock to win the NFC West with a win on Saturday. Let’s get into my best Cardinals vs Rams player prop bets for Saturday while you can also check out ours NFL draft for EVERY Week 17 matchup.

Trey McBride (ARI) over 6.5 receptions (+115)

It’s a shame that the story of Trey McBride’s season will be his inability to score. He has scored zero touchdowns on 92 catches – if McBride fails to score a touchdown this season, it will be the most catches in history without scoring a touchdown. Fortunately, we’re not backing McBride to score. We switch to McBride for 7 catches – a feat he has accomplished in four of his last five games, with last week his worst performance of the season with 20 yards on three catches.

The Cardinals could very well be without running back James Conner heading into Saturday. Conner’s career year has earned him a new contract, but the Cardinals could be in real trouble without him. I would expect Kyler Murray to see McBride’s way even more with Conner potentially down and off a week where he had an 11% 1st read rate – the lowest of his season.

The cost of McBride catching seven receptions is all over the place. FanDuel has McBride priced at -118 to over, while BetMGM has it up to +115. You can find this at plus money at Caesars, ESPNBET and Bet365, while DraftKings comes in at -105.
