NFL Betting at Get That Bet – Palmer May Get the Start for Cardinals Against Redskins

His final status is still uncertain, but it appears as if there is a strong possibility that Carson Palmer, the former Heisman Trophy winner who has been out of action since the season opener, could be making the start at quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals as they play host to the Washington Redskins in NFL betting action that is scheduled to begin at 4:25 PM ET at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ.

Palmer has had a rather mysterious nerve problem in his throwing shoulder, so after that opening game victory over the San Diego Chargers, in which he threw for 304 yards and two touchdowns, he was replaced as the starter by Drew Stanton, who led the team to a couple of victories. However, to complicate matters, Stanton suffered a concussion against the Denver Broncos in Arizona’s 41-20 blowout loss last weekend. In stepped rookie Logan Thomas, who threw an 81-yard touchdown pass, which was his only completion in eight attempts that he made during “garbage time.” It could be any one of these guys who ultimately gets the start under center for Arizona.

There has been some movement in the line on the basis of rumors about Palmer’s status, so at the moment the NFL betting odds at Get That Bet (http://www.getthatbet.com) have taken a rise toward the Arizona side:

So it is quite possible that no one will know about the quarterback situation until shortly before kickoff, but those aren’t the only injury problems the Cardinals are facing right now. Defensive end Calais Campbell sprained his MCL last week and he will certainly be out of this game. He joins three standout players – Darnell Dockett, Daryl Washington and John Abraham – who have not been available for the Cards.

Yet the Arizona defense has done a pretty strong job against opposing rushing attacks all along, as Get That Bet customers are well aware. They have allowed only three yards per attempt, and that may cramp the style of the Redskins, who would obviously prefer to control things on the ground with Alfred Morris (345 yards). Kirk Cousins looked a little more under control last Monday night against Seattle, but this team can’t afford to be one-dimensional.
