The Cardinals are entering this game with a 0-1 record overall and they have a 0-0 record in their divisional games too. They are 0-0 in their home games, 0-1 in their road games, and they are also 0-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game. They lost their last game against the Washington Commanders 20-16. Joshua Dobbs was the starting QB and he completed 21/30 passes for 132 passing yards, 0 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions. James Conner led the team in rushing yards with 62. Rondale Moore led the receivers with 33 receiving yards on 3 receptions. Kyzir White led the defense in that game with 5 solo tackles and 4 assisted tackles while Dennis Gardeck led the defense in sacks with 2. Zaven Collins came away with the only interception for them in that game.

The current betting odds have the Cardinals listed as a 5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Cardinals lost their season opener in a really close game as they only lost by 4 points on the road against the Commanders. Now they are playing their home opener and will be looking to bounce back. The Giants are also in desperate need of a bounce back win after getting blown out at home in prime time against the Cowboys in their season opener, getting shutout 40-0. The Cowboys defense made it really hard for the Giants to do anything on offense and they aren't going to have it any easier on the road here. The Cardinals offense didn't look great against the Commanders but their defense was great as they scored the only touchdown for the Cardinals in that game and were setting them up with short fields all game. The offense may not be good this year but the Cardinals still have a great defense and they will do enough against the Giants offense just like the Cowboys did to keep the Cardinals in this game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Cardinals to cover the spread in this game.

“I’m focused on trying to improve, and there’s a lot to improve. It's one game. It wasn’t a good game and I'm not going to sugarcoat it. It was a bad game and it's on me.” - Brian Daboll after his team’s loss against the Cowboys in their last game. 

“It’s disappointing not to win and that starts with me. We moved the ball in spurts. We have to do better in the red zone. It’s so hard to get down you have to get seven points. That’s what the game came down to and our two turnovers on offense.” - Joshua Dobbs after their loss against the Commanders in their last game.
