Players to Keep an Eye on: Arizona Cardinals
The success of the Cardinals’ offense is largely dependent on third-year quarterback Kyler Murray, who is considered a top contender for the NFL MVP award in the 2021 season, ranking 10th in the odds.
The former Heisman Trophy winner surpassed expectations in the opening week by throwing for 289 yards and four touchdowns. He also added 20 rushing yards and a touchdown, helping lead his team to a 25-point win.
Murray and All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins once again demonstrated their strong chemistry in the Music City, with Hopkins catching six passes for 83 yards and scoring two touchdowns.
Aside from the standout pair, the Cardinals will rely on running back Chase Edmonds, who led all players with 63 yards on 12 carries in Week 1.
Vance Joseph, the defensive coordinator, is strategizing to exploit the vulnerabilities in Minnesota’s offensive line, similar to the successful tactics used in the previous game. The Cardinals managed to secure six sacks, with Chandler Jones, the defensive end, creating history by setting a franchise record with five sacks in the victory.
The Cardinals are anticipated to have a favorable matchup on the line of scrimmage this Sunday, as the Vikings allowed three sacks in a 27-24 overtime loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1.
Monitoring Kirk Cousins and his team.
Despite Kirk Cousins throwing for 351 yards and two touchdowns, the Vikings were defeated by the Bengals in Week 1.
Cousins completed 73.5% of his passes and averaged 7.2 yards per pass for the Vikings in the loss.
The Vikings’ offense faced challenges as they lacked a dependable running game, leading to a mere 67 rushing yards for Minnesota.
Caesars Arizona believes that Cousins and his team’s lackluster performance resulted in multiple unfavorable second- and third-down scenarios, ultimately leading to an upset victory by Cincinnati as a 3-point underdog.
