It was a disappointing 2-4 start for the Arizona Cardinals, but the team looks to turn things around in its first prime-time game of the season Thursday night against the New Orleans Saints.
Thursday night’s soccer odds opened with favored Cardinals between -2 and -2. 5 depending on where you shopped. Aside from a quick drop to -1. 5 on Tuesday, the line remained relatively stable during the short betting week.
The plus/under game opened at 44. 5 numbers overall, particularly below the 47 numbers some outlets hung in the anticipation row over the summer, and bettors pushed the current offer to 45. 5 on Thursday afternoon.

Punters appear to be behind DeAndre Hopkins, as the Cardinals wide receiver returns to the box after serving a 6-game suspension for violating the league’s PED policy.
As part of his suspension, the five-time Pro Bowler was banned from education with the team until this week. Considering that the Cardinals are near the bottom of the league in terms of power and production in the red zone, Kyler Murray will be keen to turn to his favorite target in his quest to revive the team’s anemic offense.
Unfortunately for Cardinals fans, Hopkins’ return sees him entering the box as Hollywood Brown heads to the disabled list with a damaged foot. Duo of deep tandem threads that they expected.
Kyler Murray has struggled to find consistency this season, completing just 65 percent of his passes averaging 244 yards through the air in his first six games. Murray has thrown just six touchdowns this season with four interceptions in his 2-4 start, but tonight the game can provide an ideal stage for the young QB to recover.
New Orleans will box with a defensive unit that ranks 22nd in yards allowed consistent with one pass attempt, giving up 6. 9 yards consistent with one attempt to opposing teams. Since Hopkins has not participated in team practice, he may only take a few series. for the receiver and Murray to rekindle their synergy. However, expect the duo to come together and find good fortune as they seek to weigh the recent past.
Arizona also made a move Monday to win wide receiver Robbie Anderson an industry with the Carolina Panthers.
In short, the Cardinals have one of the league’s most productive back-to-action reception skills with just a few days of replay with a team he hasn’t practiced with all season, and the receiver debuts with a few days to review the playbook. . . All this with the maximum confidence receiving weapon of the team excluded by injury.
The cornerstone of the team’s offense will be Zac Ertz, whom Murray has turned into one of his favorite goals in recent weeks. With 35 receptions for 299 yards and two touchdowns this season, Ertz now ranks third in the league as the leading attacker. It will provide Murray with a reliable outlet for plays where the team’s receiving frame has trouble with assignments and play calls.
When you think about the shadow of the softness line that is regularly given to home teams, you’ll have to feel pretty pleased to have Arizona with less than one purpose in the area at that position. Once again, the Cardinals have lost their last 8 games at State Farm Stadium.
Sure, there are plenty of question marks and body changes to consider, but the Saints are in much better shape.
I’m on the side of the problems of the first half of the U-21s, as either team looks to make some kind of relationship, with the Cardinals, regardless, getting some important plays later in the game to cover the short line at home.
