The current betting odds have the Cardinals listed as a 5.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Cardinals have looked a lot better in their last few games as the defense has been giving up less points and less yards which has been a big issue for them. Their offense has also started to get going in their games and it is only a matter of time until they get hot again. The Eagles have had a great start to the season and they are the only 4-0 undefeated team left in the NFL, but that just puts the target on their back bigger and every team that faces them until they lose will want to be the team that knocks them off. The Cardinals have the extra motivation to be that team and they are at home for this game too. They have been playing much better on both sides of the ball and will be able to put up points in this game. The Eagles offense has been very good in their games and so has the defense, but they haven't seen a QB like Kyler Murray yet who plays a very similar style as their own QB Jalen Hurts, and this could be a game that comes down to the wire where the last team holding the ball wins the game. The Cardinals have a good chance of upsetting the Eagles here and winning this game outright. The best way to place a bet here is on the Cardinals to cover the spread in this game and win straight up.
