Monday Night Football Anytime Touchdown Scorer Picks for Cardinals vs. Rams
By Peter Dewey
The Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals will square off for the third time this season on Monday night in the final game of the NFL’s Wild Card Weekend.
WynnBET Sportsbook has the Cardinals as a 3.5-point underdog in this game, but can Kyler Murray and company upset San McVay and Matthew Stafford?
If you don’t want to pick a side but are looking forward to seeing some points, here are three anytime touchdown scorer bets that we like in this matchup.
Anytime Touchdown Scorer Picks for Cardinals vs. Rams
- Odell Beckham Jr. (+100)
- Cam Akers (+150)
- James Conner (+100)
Odell Beckham Jr. (+100)
Cooper Kupp headlines this Los Angeles receiving corps, but OBJ has been a major addition for this team in the second half of the season.
In eight games for the Rams, Beckham Jr. caught five touchdowns, and he had his best game as a Ram against Arizona, catching six passes for 77 yards and a score earlier this season.
The Cardinals allowed 30 passing touchdowns this season (eighth worst in the NFL), so don’t be surprised if Odell finds himself back in the end zone, especially with Kupp getting the most attention from the defense.
Cam Akers (+150)
Cam Akers made a miraculous recovery from a torn Achilles to return for the Rams this season, and I think he has some value to score at +150 in this game.
The Rams clearly view Akers as the long-term answer at running back, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets a lot of the high-leverage touches in this game.
Since Sony Michel is -125 to score, I’d rather take a shot on Akers at +150.
James Conner (+100)
Getting James Conner at +100 odds? Sign me up.
Conner scored a whopping 18 touchdowns during the regular season, and he’s been the Cardinals’ go-to back in their goal line packages and in short-yardage spots all season.
Conner scored two touchdowns in both games against the Rams this season, and Los Angeles has allowed 18 rushing scores this season, which is the eight-worst mark in the NFL.
I like getting Conner at even money to find his way into the end zone in this game.
