Las Vegas Raiders vs. Arizona Cardinals Prediction

I’m looking at the under in this game. I just really am not a fan of the depth across the board on both sides, as the Raiders QB depth is a bit unnerving and Arizona’s depth is almost non-existent with that offensive showing they had against the Broncos, or lack thereof. Maybe it was just going against the Broncos that threw off the Cardinals, but I don’t expect much here either from either side. Give me the under in this one.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Under 37.5
