The Arizona Cardinals (7-8) and Los Angeles Rams (9-6) will close the Saturday NFL action at SoFi Stadium. Kickoff is set for 8:10 p.m. ET on NFL Network.
Beyond spread and total bets, I'm looking at Cardinals vs. Rams anytime touchdown scorers.
Here are my NFL anytime touchdown scorer bet for Saturday's contest.
Cardinals vs. Rams Anytime Touchdown Scorer Prop
- Marvin Harrison Jr. Anytime Touchdown (+200)
Marvin Harrison Jr. Anytime Touchdown (+200)
Every week when I'm looking for touchdown scorers, I try to identify a ceiling spot or an escalator type of bet where a player could score two or more touchdowns.
Well, Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. fits the profile this week and could be in for another big game against the Rams.
Harrison scored twice when these teams first met back in Week 2. After an underwhelming NFL debut, he exploded in his second game.
The Rams play zone at a top-three rate in the NFL and have allowed 19 TD to opposing wide receivers this season, which are the fourth most in the NFL so we'll bet on Harrison, who leads the Cardinals with three touchdowns against zone coverage this season.
Now, about the Rams…
I can make a valid case for either of the Rams stud receivers, but the problem is the touchdown odds are pretty steamed at this stage.
Puka Nacua thrives against nearly any coverage, but he's minus odds across the board to score. Meanwhile, Cooper Kupp gets plenty of targets to justify a bet, but there are some games when his connection with Matthew Stafford seems off. Also, TE Tyler Higbee is back in the fold and caught a touchdown last week in his first game of the season. That's another potential red-zone target to eat into Nacua and Kupp's looks inside the 20-yard line
If you can wait until closer to kickoff and get someone like Kupp at +150 or better, that would be the bet to make. If that doesn't happen, we'll pass on the Rams this week.
