The Arizona Cardinals opened last season at 7-0 and looked to be making a case for the Super Bowl. The wheels have fallen off and Arizona is now 5-16 in their last 21 games. They are now without QB Kyler Murray and he has been replaced by Trace McSorley. McSorley threw for less than 5 yards per attempt last week, and for his career, he now owns a 51.3 quarterback rating, with 1 TD and 4 INTs. Atlanta is in a similar spot as they will start Desmond Ritter. The Cardinals have scored 16 or fewer points in 4 of their last 5 and all but 1 of those was with Murray at QB. This is going to come down to running the ball and Atlanta does a much better job on the ground than Arizona, and they will emerge with a home win here. Make the play on Atlanta.
