Arizona Cardinals vs. New York Giants Prediction

I’m on the Cardinals here. Not an ideal spot to come into a game having to lay points on the road with the Cardinals, but the fact is that they actually have more stability at QB with Brissett and I’m not sure how much longer Jameis Winston can get away with this. I think the Cardinals are seeing rare opportunities to get wins and I think this is one of the more winnable spots they’ll have for the next little bit. Give me the Cardinals.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Arizona -2.5
