Cardinals at Raiders picks and predictions
Prediction
Cardinals 27, Raiders 24
Money line
The Cardinals were 8-1 on the road last year in the regular season. They are also getting healthy. They were missing Pugh and Watt last week against the Chiefs and may get them back Sunday.
The Raiders proved that Carr can make mistakes if he is pressured, and they’ll be missing their starting center. The Cardinals did not get a sack in Week 1 but hit Mahomes 6 times.
Arizona will bounce back from the embarrassing opening week loss.
Take the CARDINALS (+190).
Against the spread
Both teams are 0-1 ATS this season. The Raiders went 8-10 ATS and the Cardinals 10-8 ATS in 2021. The Cardinals were 8-2 ATS on the road last year including their playoff defeat.
The Raiders defense is down a cornerback as Averett landed on injured reserve Monday and they will miss Perryman in the middle of the field.
Take the CARDINALS +5.5 (-112).
Over/Under
The Cardinals and Chiefs blew past their projected total to combine for 65 points. The Raiders and Chargers stayed Under their projected total in Week 1.
This is going to be close. In 6 of the Raiders’ 8 total losses last year, the total was less than 52 points; eight of the Cardinals’ 11 wins last season had 51 or fewer points.
I LEAN UNDER 51.5 (-110).
