Arizona Cardinals vs Carolina Panthers Game Preview

Why Arizona Cardinals Will Win

Just don’t turn the ball over.

Carolina is going to be deep in the hunt for the No. 1 overall pick as the season goes on – or at least in the top ten – but it was finally able to get a win last week against New Orleans with a +3 turnover margin.

Arizona hasn’t been perfect, and there are big concerns, but it has only given up one turnover so far.

The Panthers aren’t doing enough against the run, their offense is among the worst in the the league – especially running the ball – and now Christian McCaffrey is iffy.

But …

Week 4 CFN NFL Expert Picks

Why Carolina Panthers Will Win

Few teams have as many injury issues as Arizona.

Kyler Murray is good enough to overcome a slew of problems, but the passing game is among the worst in the NFL at hitting the downfield throws, the defense is last in the NFL at allowing big plays, and Carolina and Baker Mayfield are way overdue to make things happen.

Carolina has been balanced with a solid ground game, but the Panthers will push past 200 passing yards for the first time since the opener against Cleveland.

What’s Going To Happen

It took a miracle for Arizona to come up with its lone win of the season in overtime against the Raiders.

This is has been one of those teams going back to last year that thrives on the road – 8-1 away from Glendale before the playoffs – and it needs the plane ride.

The Carolina offense won’t be able to take advantage of the porous Cardinal defense.

Why Arizona Will Win

Stop the turnovers, and everything is fine.

The Cardinals were able to avoid big mistakes in the first two games and one, it turned it over three times against Detroit, and that turned into the difference.

Carolina has to force mistakes to pull this off. The running game is punchless without Christian McCaffrey, Teddy Bridgewater doesn’t push the ball deep enough, and the overall pop isn’t there to keep up if the Cardinals go off early, but …

CFN Experts Picks: NFL

Why Carolina Will Win

For all the fun and all the weapons, Arizona doesn’t put up the big numbers it should. It’s running the ball well because of Kyler Murray, and the overall yards are there, but the only time the team hit the 30-point mark was when the D forced a slew of mistakes.

The Panthers melted down in the loss to Tampa Bay, but for the most part it’s been careful with the ball. To push the turnover theme further, how did they beat the Chargers last week? +4 turnover margin.

Fantasy Football Player To Watch

RB Kenyan Drake, Arizona 
It’s not that Drake has been bad, but he hasn’t ripped off the big production yet after closing last year on fire. He hasn’t scored in either of the last two games, hasn’t hit the 90-yard rushing mark, and hasn’t done much of anything for the passing game. He’s overdue, and …

What’s Going To Happen

The Carolina run defense is too soft. It’s last in the NFL in touchdowns allowed, and it’ll have to deal with a true running quarterback – Justin Herbert doesn’t really count – for the first time all year. Murray will have a huge day.
