The Lions have won 6 of their last 7 games, and the only loss in that span was on the road against the Ravens. Justin Fields is back, and he’ll make his return to action for the Chicago Bears in a division game against the surging Detroit Lions.

I’m taking the visitors to cover the spread.Ĭardinals +6.5 available at time of publishing. I expect the Cardinals to keep the game close and have a chance to win at the end. In the last 5 Houston games all of them have been decided by less than a score. The reason why I am choosing the Cardinals +6 is because the Texans’ defense has been vulnerable all year and allows teams to score on them almost at wll. The former Ohio State standout has thrown 15 touchdowns and only 2 interceptions he is in the conversation for MVP. He has surpassed expectations and is playing like a seasoned veteran.

The Texans are looking like a whole different team from last season, as well, thanks to rookie quarterback CJ Stroud. If Arizona’s o ffense can keep moving the ball how it did against Atlanta, it will keep this game close. The biggest problem for the Cardinals is their defense, which is allowing over 26 points per game and will have a tough test this weekend. Murray makes Arizona a whole different beast because he can make plays with his arm but also can extend plays with his legs and run the ball. They look like a brand new team Murray back after getting shut out 27-0 the week before–that to a dangerous Browns squad. The Cardinals got their second win of the season last week and also welcomed back starting quarterback Kyler Murray as well as running back James Conner.

This is suddenly an interesting matchup between the Arizona Cardinals and the Houston Texans.
