The Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals are ready to face off 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 these teams split their regular season matchups, with the Cardinals winning by 17 when they played in Los Angeles. 

Let’s take a look at some prop bets to make in this matchup between NFC West foes: 

Best Prop Bets for Cardinals vs. Rams

  • Kyler Murray OVER 1.5 Touchdown Passes (+110)
  • Cooper Kupp OVER 8.0 Catches (-105)
  • Cam Akers Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+150)

Kyler Murray OVER 1.5 Touchdown Passes (+110)

Kyler Murray has struggled throwing the ball since DeAndre Hopkins was ruled out for the season, throwing two scores in just one of his last four games. 

However, Murray did throw for two scores and 268 yards in the last meeting between these teams in Los Angeles, and I think he may have to throw the ball a lot with the Cardinals potentially playing from behind. 

I’ll take a shot on this prop at plus odds, as I think Murray and the Cards are live to pull off the upset in this one. 

Cooper Kupp OVER 8.0 Catches (-105)

Cooper Kupp has been a catching machine this season, averaging 8.5 catches per game and 114.5 yards per game to go along with it. 

In two games against the Cardinals this season, Matthew Stafford has targeted Kupp a whopping 28 times. Kupp made 18 catches in those two games, and he’s made eight or more catches in 10 games this season. 

Arizona’s secondary is beatable, and Kupp has already shown that this year. I think Stafford keeps his safety blanket involved heavily on Monday night. 

Cam Akers Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+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.
