Game Outlook
Week 7 kicks off with a matchup that figures to miss a ton of star power. As you’ll see in the Injury Report section down below, both teams are dealing with big time injuries, and as a result, sports bettors are in on the under in this contest. This one opened with a total of 46.0 and has been bet down a full two points to 44.0 as of this writing. If recent trends mean anything, the under looks like the correct play here as Cardinal games have hit the over just one time, and that came in Week 1. They’ve also only hit their team total just twice this year, and they have yet to exceed it by more than six points, suggesting it’s unlikely we see the Cardinals come out and have a ceiling performance here on a short week, especially with Marquise Brown on the shelf.
