Week 7 will kickoff with a Thursday night showdown between the New Orleans Saints and Arizona Cardinals. The Saints (2-4) come off a loss to the Cincinnati Bengals and the Cardinals (2-4) come off a loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
The Saints lost to the Bengals in week 6 30-26 despite having a 23-14 lead in the third quarter. The Saints have been having quarterback trouble with Jameis Winston injured and now Andy Dalton is questionable, but Dalton is expected to start. The Saints are also dealing with injuries at the receiver position with Jarvis Landry and Micheal Thomas expected to not play on Thursday night. New Orleans has been a consistent offense this season both on the running and passing game. With the quarterback situation shaky for the Saints, it looks like they will rely on the running game with Alvin Kamara leading the pack.
The Cardinals are off to a disappointing start at (2-4). The Cardinals offense was unable to get it going offensively in week 6 against the Seahawks. Kyler Murray had 23 completions out of 37 in week 6 for 222 passing yards, he also led the team in rushing with 100 yards. The big news coming out of Arizona is that Deandre Hopkins is set to start against the Saints, the Cardinals are hoping that Hopkins can provide something offensively for them and get something going. The Cardinals defense has also struggled to get off the field and allowed a lot of points to opposing offenses. The key to a victory for the Cardinals is getting into a rhythm on offense and putting up points.
Score prediction: Saints Win (14-12)
