Game Analysis

3-Star Best Bet Teaser – LA Rams (+8.5) with Arizona (+8)

Arizona (+2) over CAROLINA

· Carolina’s offense ranks 29th in compensated yppl and Arizona’s offense ranks 31st. There’s a decent shot the first team to 21 points wins this game and I’ll happily tease the Cardinals out to more than a touchdown with neither team showing any sort of fire power.

· Arizona can at least run the ball (they rank 2nd in run play success rate) while the Panthers don’t really do anything well on offense.

· Baker Mayfield is gaining 1.4 yards per attempt fewer versus the blitz and the Cardinals lead the NFL with a 47% blitz rate.

· The Panthers have a 37% pressure rate (6th) but Kyler Murray is elusive and he also gets the ball out quickly with a 2.44 average time to throw (5th-fastest).

· Arizona left tackle DJ Humphries is allowing only one pressure per game and he will limit edge defender Brian Burns, who ranks 5th in pass rushing efficiency.

· Our model has the Cardinals by 2.9 points, with a predicted total of 46.1 points, and the Cardinals apply to a 95-38-2 ATS bounce-back situation.

The Cardinals are part of a 3-Star Best Bet Teaser – Rams +8.5 with Arizona +8 (both at +7.5 or more). If you can’t play teasers or it falls out of range, you can play Arizona for 2-Stars at +1 or more.
