The Return of DHop
This will be the first game back for Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins, who is returning from a 6 game PED suspension. Hopkins has a huge opportunity ahead of him with the Saints missing their top cornerback.
- Hopkins Over/Under 62.5 Rec Yds (-115)
- Hopkins Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+120)

Another trend in the Cardinals favor tonight is the production from their defense. Arizona held the Philadelphia Eagles high powered offense to 20 points as well as their lowest total yardage of any game this season. To add to that, the Cardinals held the Seahawks to just 19 points last week.
Game Prediction
With the return of DeAndre Hopkins as well as the fact that the Cardinals have lost their last 8 home games, Arizona is due for a win. If you factor in the Saints key injuries too, it’s certainly tipping in the Cardinals favor tonight.
With all of this said, I would take the Cardinals -2.5 (-115). Both of the Cardinals wins this season have been by at least 3 points.
