lost its second straight game on Sunday, falling 31-28 to the Minnesota Vikings (+2.5). Despite its offense looking anemic for the bulk of the contest, the Falcons enter Arizona as 2.5-point favorites on the road, per DraftKings Sportsbook.
Given the state of the Cardinals’ franchise, that’s more of an indictment of the embarrassment in Arizona than an endorsement of Atlanta.
The Cardinals are 1-8 and in the throes of a six-game losing streak. Like the Falcons, the Cards have struggled to score, only mustering 15 total touchdowns through the season’s first nine games.
