The Arizona Cardinals are in the win column. They finally ended a rough six-game losing streak. The squad was clobbered 27-0 in week nine against the Browns and rebounded by posting a solid 25-23 home win against the Falcons last week in a bout that had Arizona marked as small two-point dogs. Arizona now has Kyler Murray back at QB and the squad will be more competitive as a result. They have covered the spread in two of their last three decisions. 

Kyler Murray was productive in his season debut, accumulating 249 passing yards but chucked one pick. The 26-year-old QB posted 2368 passing yards and a 14:7 TD to INT ratio in 11 games last season. He added 418 rushing yards. 

James Conner has been a bright spot on offense. The 28-year-old RB rushed for 73 yards against the Falco ns last week and has solid numbers, recording 437 rushing yards on an average of 5.2 yards per rush in six games. Marquise Brown has collected 33 or fewer receiving yards in three straight games. The 26-year-old WR leads the team with only 468 receiving yards while Michael Wilson has collected 435 yards. The Arizona offense has reached 24 points in two of their last three games and will be more of a threat with Murray back in play.

The Cardinals defense is a big weakness. The group has allowed more than 25 points six times this season. They came through with their best performance of the year last week, limiting Atlanta to only 254 total yards. The pass defense is a strength, coming in at 11th but the rush defense is being exploited, marking 28th.

Arizona is averaging 17.6 points, ranking them 25th. They are conceding an average of 26.3 points, pegging them 28th.
