Oddsmakers currently have the Cardinals listed as 3-point favorites versus the Eagles, while the game’s total is sitting at 48.
Carson Palmer threw for 253 yards and two touchdowns in last week’s win at Oakland, giving the veteran quarterback a 10-2 record in his last 12 starts. Aiding Palmer’s cause has been the emergence of running back Andre Ellington, who led Arizona in rushing yards (88) and receiving yards (72) against the Raiders, while rising star Michael Floyd caught a touchdown for the second straight game. Perhaps the most important statistic for the Cardinals is the league-low 72.5 rushing yards they are giving up this season, although coach Bruce Arians has cautioned that “we haven’t done anything yet except get to 5-1. There’s a lot of football left.”
Team record: 5-1 SU,4-2 ATS
Arizona is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games
Arizona is 5-1 SU in its last 6 games
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Arizona’s last 6 games
Arizona is 4-2 ATS in its last 6 games at home
The Cardinals were a 24-13 winner in their most recent outing on the road against the Raiders. They covered the -3.5-point spread as favorites, while the total score (37) made winners of UNDER bettors.
While the defense pitching a shuout against the Giants was the headline story from two weeks ago, the return to prominence of LeSean McCoy was equally – if not more – important. The NFL’s leading rusher from 2013 ran for a season-high 149 yards against New York and said afterward that “I never lost confidence in myself” despite 3.5 yards per carry or less in four of his first five games. Nick Foles threw two touchdown passes the last time out but also threw a pair of interceptions, giving him five in his last three games and seven on the season (after throwing two picks all of last year).
Last time out for Philadelphia, they were a 27-0 winner as they battled the Giants at home. The Eagles covered in the match as a -1.5-point favorite, while 27 combined points moved the game UNDER for totals bettors.
