Streaking Teams Meet as Cardinals Host Giants

The New York Giants are red-hot, having won five straight games in the BetUS Sportsbook!

The Arizona Cardinals are equally sweltering, having won three consecutive games of their own.

Now, someone’s winning streak is going to come to an emphatic end when the teams meet in this matchup at University of Phoenix Stadium.

The Giants routed the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, winning 30-10 to easily cover the spread as a 7-point home favorite for BetUS NFL sports betting backers.

Quarterback Eli Manning led a balanced Giants attack, completing 13 of 23 passes for 153 yards with one touchdown and one interception while New York’s rushing attack ran for over 200 yards against a Ravens defense that prides itself on stopping the run.

Veteran running back Brandon Jacobs gained 73 yards on 11 carries with two touchdowns while fleet-footed halfback Ahmad Bradshaw added another 96 rushing yards on just 9 carries.

“The guys knew right away we could run the ball on these guys,” Jacobs said. “It’s not impossible.”

“They have a great defense, a great front, great linebackers with a lot of experience,” Giants offensive tackle David Diehl said. “You watch film and you see teams get frustrated by only making 2 or 3 yards or getting tackled for a loss. The great thing is, we just stuck to our game plan. We knew that if we just kept pounding away that eventually they were going to crack.”

New York’s stout defense pressured Ravens’ rookie quarterback Joe Flacco into two interceptions and sacked him on one other occasion.

The Cardinals are coming off a close 26-20 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday as quarterback Kurt Warner had another terrific day, completing 32 of 44 passes for 395 yards with one touchdown and one interception in his franchise-record fourth consecutive 300-yard passing game.

“You know, it’s fun. That’s all I want is another chance to compete for a championship,” said Warner. “We’re back in the mix again. Obviously, there’s still a long way to go, but to be 10 games in and be in the mix is fun. We haven’t been there in a while. I haven’t been there in a while.”

Running back J.J. Arrington rushed for 40 yards and a touchdown on eight carries and also caught a TD pass for Arizona while Warner hooked up with spectacular wide receivers, Anquan Boldin 13 times for 186 yards and Larry Fitzgerald 10 times for 151 yards.

“We have heard a lot of talk about people doubting us that we weren’t playing anybody. What we did today speaks for itself,” Boldin said. “They say the road comes through here. We came in and took care of business.”

NFL Odds

New York Giants -3 -125
Arizona Cardinals +3 +105

Over 49 -110
Under 49 -110

Analysis: While I really like the Cardinals and their prolific offense, I don’t think they are in the same class as New York on the defensive side of the ball. Take the Giants to keep Warner and the Cardinals’ offense largely in check while winning outright and narrowly covering the spread.
