Cardinals vs. Lions

The clash we are talking about involves the Arizona Cardinals hosting, after their recent win in which they mauled the Rams to pick up from their loss against the Bills.

Detroit is coming into Arizona to pick up the pace, as they also beat the Rams earlier, but lost their clash against the Buccaneers last time, and are now aiming to get back into the win column.

This Sunday is going to be exciting, as we have a lot of fun clashes and some of these, like the clash between Cardinals and Lions, couldn’t be picked in a more interesting moment.

Why Bet on the Cardinals?

No one expected the Arizona Cardinals to completely trounce the Los Angeles Rams, but Sean McVay’s squad stood no chance against Arizona. Marvin Harrison Jr. had his welcome game to the NFL and Kyler Murray had a perfect passer rating.

With the Lions suffering to defend aerial yards until now, occupying the twelve place in most AY received in the first two games of the season, Murray has the chance to bright, and McBride alongside Harrison Jr. can do a lot of damage through the air.

After being one of the worst teams in the NFL in the last two campaigns, the Cardinals seem on the brink of assembling an interesting project, and a 2-1 start could be the perfect boost.

Why Bet on the Lions?

Detroit’s explosive offense was neutralized by a stingy Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense, losing to the visitors in the playoff rematch.

It’s the second-straight season the Lions fell in the second home game of the season, but they will try to get the offense going like the playoff threat it is expected to be.

Dan Campbell’s Lions teams typically respond well to poor performances, and we think Detroit has mostly itself to blame for its Week 2 loss against the Bucs. Kyler Murray comes from having the best game of his career, and if they don’t stop him, history could repeat this Sunday.

In Aiden Hutchison, they have one of the best pass rushers in the NFL, so they have the tools to put pressure on Murray, so they have to force mistakes.

Final Betting Analysis: Cardinals vs. Lions

This has the potential to be a high-scoring game with offenses that can get in the endzone in a hurry. While the Cardinals beat down the Rams, Detroit is coming off a bad offensive game and will be in a rush to get back to form.

The formidable Lions team from the previous season is still in the memory, but they’ll have a great challenge in a team that is trying to revive and, as said before, their aerial defense is a matter of concern. It’s a little tricky, but we believe Murray will maintain his level and surprise the visitors again.

We’ll go for a victory for the Cardinals and the OVER.

Go for a victory for the locals at 1.909. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $90.9 for a total payout of $190.9.
