Football betting anticipation is high for the long term probabilities of the Rams however the football gambling law of averages will be challenging to overcome. Football betting facts of life are that a rookie quarterback is more probable than not to have difficulties and that was definitely the case in the Rams football gambling preseason opener. 
Sam Bradford got a rude welcome to the NFL as the 2010 number 1 overall draft pick was reminded about how challenging it’ll be to play quarterback as a rookie in the pros when St. Louis was crushed by the Minnesota Vikings 7-28 as a 2.5-point home fave.
Bradford competed college football for Oklahoma, where he turned out to be the second sophomore to win a Heisman Trophy and set a record in the NCAA for touchdown passes by a freshman. He was the 1st quarterback to be selected in the 1st round of a draft by the Rams since 1964. He signed a 6-year, $78 million contract with a max value of $86 million with incentives and an assurance of $50 million. For a rookie quarterback, it’s a huge contract.
As he bobbled a snap and botched a pitch in his 1st series before settling down somewhat to hit on 4 of his 1st 5 passes, Bradford had an apparent case of the jitters right from the start. Bradford later had trouble with the difficult treatment of the Vikings defense.
“It was fun to get out there, get it a couple of times, get hit, get knocked down, get back up,” said bradford. “Just getting into the flow of a football competition was fun.” In total Bradford was sacked 4 times and finished the game 6-13 passing for 57 yards. Bradford’s right shoulder that was injured and surgically repaired a year ago was tested and came out fine.
“I took a couple, landed on the shoulder,” said Bradford. “It’s not sore at all. We’ll see tomorrow how it feels, but right now it feels great.” All around it was a pathetic debut, even for a preseason game with the football odds, for the Rams as they were outgained 150-414 and looked every bit the squad that went 1-15 straight up a year ago. The squad can only hope that Bradford’s performance improves considerably between now and the regular season, considering the amount of trouble the Rams took to get Bradford.
Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo was analytical about the game and remains calm about the Rams long term probabilities with the NFL lines for 2010.
“In the first quarter we did a decent job,” Spagnuolo explained. “After that I think it’s obvious we’ve got a lot of things to work on, both sides of the ball. We’ve got plenty of time, nobody’s panicking.” Before they travel to New England on August 26, the Rams next football betting game is August 21 at Cleveland. The preseason finale is September 2 at home vs Baltimore.
The Rams were still trying to close a deal on free agent running back Brian Westbrook, who was also speaking to Dallas and Washington.
