We like the Arizona Cardinals to defeat the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Even with Marvin Harrison Jr in question (concussion) for this game, we believe that the value is on the home team. Harrison actually ranks fourth on the team in receptions this year. Obviously his presence helps. But, even without the star rooking wide receiver, Arizona has weapons.

The Cardinals have had a very tough schedule to open up this season. They are battle tested and are ready to take on a Chargers team that hasn't faced much competition other than the Chiefs/Steelers.

In their last game against each other, it was a hard fought game with Arizona covering the spread.

Arizona's defense might not be as strong as they would like this season. But, their offense has been solid. LAC ranks in the bottom five in passing yards per game this year.

The Cardinals also have beaten the Niners this season. That's a big win for them considering that SF made the Super Bowl last year.

We will take the three points at home. Look for the mini upset though.
