Arizona on the road laying -7.5, the total at 51.5. Arizona -365, Jacksonville +295. What we have here is the whole world on Arizona, 90 % of the bets ATS and 94% money line on the Cardinals. The Cardinals with a big win week 1 and then win by Vikings missed goal last week. Arizona putting up stats in the first two weeks that have them in company with teams that eventually went to the Super Bowl. 70+ points, 650+ pass yards and 200+ rush yards through their first 2 games. This does kind of have the feeling of a game where Arizona could end up taking the Jags too lightly, along with the early start for the west coast team.
The Jaguars have lost 17 straight games, Urban Meyer welcome to the NFL, he hasn’t lost three straight games since his days at U of Florida. Trevor Lawrence is in rare company as well having 5 INT in his first two games, only Peyton Manning had more(6). He faces the 5th rated pass defense here.
With all the makings of a blowout on paper and all the bets on Arizona you have to wonder why this game didn’t end up with a bigger spread. My prediction 30-23 Cardinals.
