The Arizona Cardinals (2-1) face off against the Carolina Panthers (1-2) in this week 3 matchup.
The Arizona Cardinals come in to this game ranked 9th in total offensive yards per game (406.3) and 8th in total yards per game allowed on defense (334.7). The Cardinals are 5th in sacks and have given up the ball 5 times this season. Kyler Murray has performed better with DeAndre Hopkins and will seek his 3rd win of the season here. The Cardinals are averaging 149 YDs/G rushing and 256 YDs/G through the air.
The Panthers come into this game ranked 17th in total offensive yards per game (372.3) and 21st in total yards allowed per game on defense (382.3). The Panthers are averaging 273.3 Yds/G through the air and 99 Yds/G rushing. The Panthers are dead last in total sacks with just 2 on the season. The Panthers have forced 6 turnovers, while giving up 4 this season.
I like the Cardinals to cover here, Kyler Murray has looked solid with Hopkins and Kenyan Drake. They're poised to put up a good game on offense and have looked solid defensively so far. The Panthers should see some production through the air but the Cardinals frontline will be hurrying the offense which will lead to dead plays. Cardinals should win with a sizeable victory here.
