Eagles vs Cardinals Prediction & Pick
This is the first true opportunity for the Eagles to prove they are one of the best teams in the NFC. So far, their first four games have come against opponents that did not make the playoffs last season. That is no longer the case. Kyler Murray is the first dual-threat quarterback they will take on as well.
There's no reason to stop backing Philly now, though. The Eagles are averaging the second-most yards per game (435.5) and allowing the third-fewest yards per game (277.3) in the NFL. They have put together an elite balanced roster and will cause head coach Kliff Kingsbury a ton of frustration.
Final Score Prediction:'Eagles: 24 | Car dinals: 20

Eagles vs Cardinals Best Bet
The Eagles have the inside trac k for a victory here, but they have historically struggled in State Farm Stadium. That makes avoiding the spread and focusing on the point total the best option here. After all, the under has hit in five of the last seven head-to-head matchups between Philly and Arizona.
The under has also hit in six of the Cardinals' last nine games overall and in five of the Eagles' last seven games against a NFC West opponent. Yes, these two offenses are filled with talented stars. However, these defenses are, too. A sluggish start all around will lead to less points than expected.
