Why bet on Arizona versus New Orleans?

Kyler Murray’s favorite target returns to the field. DeAndre Hopkins had to serve out a 6-game suspension. Hopkins will be ready to go on Sunday and should bolster a Cardinals’ offense that has struggled in the past few weeks. The defense has played great. So if the offense can step it up, the Cardinals should cover the spread.

New Orleans Saints at Arizona Cardinals Final Betting Prediction

New Orleans heads to Arizona knowing they should be on a 3-game winning streak. The Saints almost upset the Vikings in London in NFL Week 4.

Then in NFL Week 5, New Orleans beat the Seattle Seahawks. In their last game, which happened last Sunday, the Saints couldn’t hang on to a lead against the Bengals. The almost victories are a good enough reason to back the Saints versus the worse team they’ve played in their last four contests.

The Saints’ offense should be motoring on all cylinders no matter if Andy Dalton or Jameis Winston starts at quarterback. New Orleans has started to utilize Taysom Hill in more ways than just at tight-end, Alvin Kamara is back, and the Saints receivers are healthier this week.

Arizona will be better with Hopkins on the sidelines. But DeAndre won’t have enough of an impact in his first game for the Cardinals to keep pace on the scoreboard. New Orleans wins straight up.
