Cardinals at Giants Predictions, Odds and Betting Picks
The Arizona Cardinals are the betting side against the New York Giants, with FanDuel Sportsbook listing Arizona -1.5 at -110 and the Giants +1.5 at -110. The moneyline has Arizona at -126 and New York at +108, while the total is 43.5 points. The biggest factor is the quarterback change in New York after Jaxson Dart's season-ending knee injury.
Arizona enters at 1-2 after a 36-30 loss to San Francisco, but Jacoby Brissett has completed 70.1% of his passes for 652 yards, 4 touchdowns and 1 interception. New York is 2-1, yet Jameis Winston has a 55.1% completion rate with 229 yards, 0 touchdowns and 1 interception since taking over. Those numbers shape the NFL Picks and the broader NFL predictions for this matchup.
Cardinals vs Giants Game Preview
Arizona is 2-1 against the spread through three games and has scored 21 points per game while averaging 303 yards. The Giants are also 2-1 ATS, but their offense ranks near the bottom with 15.3 points and 271.3 yards per game. New York has scored only 18 points across Winston's two starts, including 12 against Tennessee, all on field goals.
The injury picture also favors Arizona's matchup setup. New York has Andrew Thomas and Tyrone Tracy Jr. listed as non-participants, while Deonte Banks and Tyler Nubin were limited in practice. Arizona had Budda Baker and Josh Sweat among its non-participants, but the Cardinals still enter with a +3 turnover differential and four defensive sacks. The game is at MetLife Stadium with temperatures around 63°F to 67°F, partly cloudy skies and winds of only 5 to 7 mph.
Cardinals vs Giants Moneyline Pick
Take the Arizona Cardinals moneyline at -126 at FanDuel Sportsbook. Brissett's 91.54 passer rating, 652 passing yards and 4-to-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio give Arizona the steadier passing attack, while New York has produced only 479 passing yards as a team through three games. Arizona also has a +3 turnover differential, matching the Giants but pairing it with a more productive offense.
The price is fair for a short road favorite. New York has 3 interceptions, but Arizona has 4 sacks to the Giants' 1. Those numbers support the Cardinals in the NFL predictions and this NFL Pick.
Pick: Cardinals ML (-126 at FanDuel Sportsbook).
Against the Spread Pick
Take Arizona Cardinals -1.5 at -110 at FanDuel Sportsbook. Arizona has covered 2 of 3 games and averages 21 points, while New York has scored 12 or fewer in its last two. The 1.5 spread also avoids the key 3-point margin.
New York's 15.3 points and 271.3 yards per game rank 28th and 29th. Arizona also leads in time of possession, 33:14 to 32:50. These trends in NFL team performance support Arizona and the strongest NFL Picks for Sunday.
Pick: Cardinals -1.5 (-110 at FanDuel Sportsbook).
