The Arizona Cardinals kissed away their playoff chances last week with a loss to the Carolina Panthers. The Rams on the other hand are virtually a lock to win the NFC West with a win on Saturday. Let’s get into my best Cardinals vs Rams player prop bet for Saturday, while you can also check out our NFL picks for EVERY Week 17 matchup.

It’s a shame the story of Trey McBride’s season will be his inability to score. He has scored zero touchdowns on 92 catches – if McBride fails to score a touchdown this season, it’ll be the most catches in history without scoring a touchdown. Thankfully, we’re not backing McBride to score. We’re pivoting to McBride to reel in 7 catches – A feat he has accomplished in four of his last five games, with last week being his worst performance of the season with 20 yards on three catches.
The Cardinals could very well be without running back James Conner heading into Saturday. Conner’s career year has earned him a new contract, but the Cardinals could be in real trouble without him. I’d expect Kyler Murray to look McBride’s way even more with Conner potentially down and off a week where he had an 11% 1st-read rate – the lowest of his season.
The price for McBride to catch seven receptions is all over the place. FanDuel has McBride priced at -118 to the over, while BetMGM is upwards of +115. You can find this at plus-money on Caesars, ESPNBET, and Bet365, while DraftKings is coming in at -105.
