Point Spread: -3.00 | -115.00 Philadelphia (Home)
Result: Push
The Cardinals have won four in a row, but the victims were three teams going nowhere (Falcons, Texans and Jaguars) and one floundering of late (Colts) with three of the wins coming at home. Now they're back on the road playing an early game for a west coast team and that puts them at a disadvantage before getting on the field. It is also very cold in Philly which Arizona will not be used to. Philadelphia is rested and on a roll, having beaten Washington at home plus Green Bay and Oakland on the road prior to a bye. Nick Foles (16 TDs, 0 INTs this season) completed 71 percent of his passes with 10 TDs during the streak.
The Eagles' defense has held seven straight foes to 21 points or less. They've got to put pressure on Carson Palmer, who's been sacked 30 times already this season and is NOT mobile. With Arizona's ground game next to non-existent, the pressure will literally be on Palmer to produce and I'll take Philly in this matchup.
