ARIZONA CARDINALS VS. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS – 10/27/2019 FREE PICK & NFL BETTING PREDICTION

We have reached week 8 of the NFL season and this is a huge NFC showdown that could have a big implication when the playoffs roll around.

In this game the Arizona Cardinals make the trip to Mercedes-Benz Superdome to take on the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are heavy favorites in this game.

Arizona Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals got off to a slow start to the season, playing to a tie in the first game, and then losing three straight games.

They have figured it out the last couple of games and come into this game having won three straight games. It helps that they have played an easier part of the schedule, but they have still had to perform well to get the job done.

Rookie quarterback Kyler Murray has had an up and down rookie season but he has done a good job of not turning the ball the last three games.

On the defensive side the Cardinals have a lot of questions and so far they are giving up 27.4 points per game which is 28th in the country.

In this game they are taking on a very good offensive team which means the Cardinals defense is going to need to step up. If this game gets into a shootout, against a good defense, the Cardinals might not be able to keep up.

New Orleans Saints

On the other side of this matchup is the New Orleans Saints who have a big storyline following them around heading into this week.

Drew Brees is expected to return to practice this week and if everything goes according to plan, he should be starting in this game.

The good news for the Saints is even if Brees isn’t able to play in this game, Teddy Bridgewater has done a great job filling in.

Against the Bears in the last game he threw for 281 yards and two touchdowns and if he starts he is in good place to have a good game.

On the defensive side the Saints have been really good. They are giving up 21 points per game which is 11th in the NFL.
