The injury bug continues to bite Arizona as it lost tackle Jared Veldheer to a torn biceps tendon and safety Tyrann Mathieu to a shoulder subluxation in its loss to Carolina in Week 8. The Cardinals, who hope to have Mathieu back in a week or two, also have 10 players on season-ending injured reserve. Johnson leads the NFC with eight rushing touchdowns and ranks first in the entire league with 1,112 yards from scrimmage, including a franchise-record streak of eight straight games with at least 100.
The Cardinals entered a bye last week following a 30-20 loss in Carolina as 2.5-point underdogs that dropped them to 3-4-1 on the season. Arizona has been a dicey bet on home turf, going 3-9 ATS in its past 12 overall in the desert. The Cardinals are a solid 7-2 SU in their past nine as double-digit chalk, but have covered just once in their past six.

Vance McDonald has registered two touchdowns of at least 65 yards this year, making him the fourth NFL tight end since 1970 and first since Shannon Sharpe in 1997 to do so in the one season.
