The 2-8 Arizona Cardinals hope to win their second straight and pick up their first win of the year on Sunday, taking on the 5-4 Houston Texans.
It is a fun quarterback matchup between the Cardinals’ Kyler Murray, making only his second appearance of the season, and the Texans’ rookie C.J. Stroud.
The Cardinals are 5.5-point underdogs.
Houston has won two straight games and three out of its last four. Stroud led them on last-minute game-winning drives in each of the last two games.
But the Texans are without starting running back Dameon Pierce and their defense is ailing at linebacker, and they will be without safety Jimmie Ward.
Can the Cardinals upset the Texans?
