NFL Sport Gambling anticipation is running high for the opening game of the NFL betting year between the Arizona Cardinals and host St Louis Rams. As each side will start a different quarterback than what was anticipated as the start of the NFL betting preseason, NFL wagering news has been hot and heavy from both camps. The sports book and online sport betting opened with Cardinals as a four-point road favorite and with an over/under of 39. 4:20 PM Eastern will be kickoff. The Cardinals are arriving from the most effective 2-year run in team history under head coach Ken Whisenhunt, who has directed them to back to back playoff appearances. One important element will be missing this year nevertheless as QB Kurt Warner has retired. Warner's understudy and 2006 first round draft pick Matt Leinart was supposed to be the starter for 2010 but he had the job virtually ripped from him by Derek Anderson, who struggled as a Cleveland Brown before arriving in Arizona this past offseason. Leinart has since been cut and signed with the Texans. The Cardinals have beaten the NFL odds in 9 from their last 13 NFC West divisional games with 5 from the last 6 going under the total. The number 1 pick of the 2010 NFL Draft will get the start at QB for the St Louis Rams as Sam Bradford performed well in preseason action. The St Louis Rams are arriving from seasons of 3-13, 2-14, and 1-15 last year and required a fresh face for the team and to increase fan attention, which Bradford has done. AJ Feely was the expected starter but was hurt in preseason, which opened up the door for Bradford. Head coach Steve Spagnuolo said that the improvement in communication with the offensive line was what pleased him most about the preseason. The St Louis Rams also signed free agent WR Mark Clayton last week, who was a 2005 first round draft pick. In home games the St Louis Rams have gone a awful 9-20 with the NFL lines and 7-21 versus the spread in NFC West action. They have only 1 opening day payout in the last 10 years. The home team has beaten the NFL wagering board in 5 from the last 6 head to head competitions in this series with the favorite and the Cardinals both getting the money in 4 from the last 5 competitions. In 4 sequential games, this series has gone under the total. Play any Online Poker Game Like Omaha, Razz, Texas Hold'em, Stud plus lots more at PokerHost.com.
