00:00Arizona favorite at home, what a fascinating matchup truly here, Joe, because the Cardinals
00:11for the first time this season, they get it done back-to-back weeks.
00:15Now back-to-back wins are with walk-off field goals, so they're not doing it in dominant
00:21and impressive fashion.
00:23But also winning against Miami with two at back, beating the LA Chargers, those are solid
00:31wins here, man.
00:33Arizona earned a lot of respect for me in that game against Miami.
00:37What are you looking at heading into this 4 o'clock game?
00:39I can only look at Arizona.
00:41Now I will say if this was a college game, I would be taking Chicago.
00:45Anytime you're watching a college game, majority of times, teams losing overtime or on a Hail
00:51Mary typically play well the next day, a week, in terms of a bounce-back spot, but
00:56I can't buy in the Chicago right now.
00:59They don't have a true road win.
01:01Their one-win came in London in that matchup against Jacksonville, but again, they're 0-3
01:06on the road.
01:07They're inconsistent.
01:08The locker room, I'm not sure what you're going to get out of, you know, players speaking
01:12out about Eber flu saying that they should keep it in the locker room, and players like
01:17DJ Moore just speak in their mind.
01:19We've seen inconsistency out of Caleb Williams in the passing attack, only 131 yards last
01:25week.
01:26They're going to need to run the football in this matchup.
01:28I think Arizona, from a defensive perspective, has been, but don't break, but I'm more impressed
01:32with the progression right now of Kyler Murray, and now you see Marvin Harrison with a huge
01:38performance last week.
01:41I like Arizona here.
01:42I can't buy into Chicago.
01:44I need to see it before I believe it.
01:46Normally, I'm not going to be backing rookie quarterbacks on the road, but I actually like
01:49them in this spot.
01:50I think it might have been a great wake-up spot last week.
01:52Like, hey, we had that victory.
01:53Let it slip away.
01:54Let's get the animosity out early in the week.
01:55Let's put together a good game plan.
01:57You're going up against an offense you can score on, and also, Matt Eber flu, I don't
02:00like him as a head coach.
02:01I don't think that's the direction of the football team.
02:03You have a young, exciting offense here, should be a great, innovative guy on that end of
02:07it, which he's not.
02:08He's a defender.
02:09But let's be honest and give him some credit.
02:10You go back in their five-game split here, you know, the Colts, 21-16, you gave them
02:1421 points in that game.
02:15That's okay.
02:16You still should be able to win those.
02:1718-10, 16, and last week, you lost 18-15, which was a Hail Mary.
02:21Take the Hail Mary away.
02:22You barely gave up over double-digit points here to Washington Commanders.
02:25I'm going to trust they get it together and lean on that defense today and make enough
02:28plays on offense.
02:29I've said this from day number one, Arizona's defense, you got to be able to get after them.
02:33They should be able to put up 20-plus points with ease on this team, and I think that's
02:37enough for a victory.
02:38Yeah, I am really torn because I think for a lot of the year, I would have easily liked
02:43Chicago here, but that loss to the Commanders, it's funny where you go, ah, they should have
02:48won the game.
02:49Eh.
02:50They were not, they were outplayed in that game the whole way.
02:53They almost stole that football game, and then it was completely robbed from them in
02:57a bizarre, bizarre fashion.
03:01Maybe me being still semi-in on Miami is what is giving why I was so impressed by what the
03:07Cardinals were able to do last week, but that's where I found myself.
03:10I think it's also the number here.
03:12If I was getting a full field goal with the Bears, right, that would be a little bit more
03:16interesting or a full field, I don't, with this game being largely a coin flip, I couldn't
03:21find myself trusting any of the numbers, but I do like Caleb Williams to bounce back in
03:27a major way.
03:28225 passing yards, he's checking in at even money, six of the eight quarterbacks against
03:32Arizona this year have hit this with five consecutive overs, and Caleb last week, Leecey,
03:38and this is why I think the Offensive Rookie of the Year race is done.
03:41It's not just losing to Jayden and Jayden having, I mean, look, that's his real Heisman
03:46moment, quite frankly.
03:47Like, he should redo the speech when he, and now that he actually has a Heisman moment
03:51under his belt, Caleb played his worst game as a pro, and I think that includes the nightmare
03:56that he had in week number one against Tennessee, but typically that means a player of his talent
04:00can bounce back in the next game.
04:02Yeah, I mean, if he does bounce back, I might look to the total 44 and a half, because if
04:06Arizona's offense can put up at least, you know, 28 and duplicate what they were able
04:11to do last week, this game potentially could sail through the 44 and a half.
04:16The one thing I didn't like with Caleb last week, with Dan Quinn's defense, he looked
04:21a little inconsistent, didn't look confident where he wanted to go with the football, wasn't
04:25until they trailed 12 to nothing and they got into a little bit of a rhythm that he
04:29started to find some continuity.
04:31So again, we'll see how this game plays out.
04:33You'll know early on, Kev, whether he's confident, you know, is he going to DJ more, is he taking
04:38shots down the field?
04:40So I might look to the over, but I still like Arizona in this game.
