Falcons vs. Cardinals Odds
Game Preview
This will be the Cards’ 4th road game in the last 5. Overall, they’ve played well during this stretch, winning two, losing two by narrow margins, and being blown out by the NFC leaders, the Seahawks. Overall, this team is on the decline in the second part of the campaign.
Zane Gonzales’ walk-off field goal from 42 yards brought them the win over divisional rivals, the Buccaneers, on the road. It was 29-28 for the Falcons, who beat the Saints three weeks before, also on the road, 24-10.
Arizona benched Kyler Murray and is now trying to find some groove with Jacoby Brissett. Though, some believe they are tanking to get the best possible position at the upcoming draft.
The defense is terrible, allowing 40 or more points in three of the past 5 contests. We do have to say that the Cards have plenty of absent players, some injured, some simply spared of any risk this season, so overall, their results aren’t that odd.
Falcons vs. Cardinals Head to Head
After 34 matches, the Cardinals have 18 wins and the Falcons 16. The last one was in 2023 when Arizona won 25-23 at home.
Falcons vs. Cardinals Predictions
Atlanta plays better than Arizona, and that’s obvious in these past few events. We back up the unit from Georgia to win because of better form and performances lately.
