Kyler Murray says his shoulder's fine, but the stats tell a different story. He's been running much less since spraining his AC joint in Week 11 as the Cardinals have gone 0-3. And Kliff Kingsbury's teams have have fizzled to the finish every year he's coached. The Cards are on a 1-4 streak, and went 2-7 in their last nine last year. At Texas Tech, Kingsbury's teams finished on streaks of 0-5 (2018), 2-6 (2017), 2-6 (2016), 2-4 (2015) and 1-4 (2013). The Giants, winners of four straight, are getting points at home. Grab them.
The Giants are on a four-game winning streak and will be looking to keep that going against Arizona. Whether Daniel Jones starts or not, the Giants will have to be able to find some consistent offense. Arizona has the ability to strike quick and desperately needs this game to get back into the NFC Playoff picture. Take the Cardinals.
Here we have two teams heading in opposite directions, yet the one on the rise is at home and receiving points. The Giants have swept their last four outright, courtesy of a plus-eight turnover rate, and have covered seven straight as underdogs. Though regular QB David Jones (hamstring) is listed as questionable, he participated fully in Friday’s light practice, an indication he likely will start after missing a gig. As for the Cardinals, if not for the “Hail Murray” touchdown pass that pulled a win out of the fire, they would be entering on a five-game straight-up slide.
In most cases you'd hate to buy the Giants at their peak. But I'm not sure the Cardinals have reached their low point. Their offense is in disarray. Though Larry Fitzgerald's return should help, they shouldn't be laying a full field goal. Grab the points with the gritty Giants.
The Cardinals are not a good team. They were lit up by the Rams. They've lost three straight and four of five. The Giants, meanwhile, are as hot as anyone. Wayne Gallman is running well and their defense just held Seattle to 12 points. The Giants will contain Kyler Murray and probably win outright.
