Arizona demolished the Buccaneers 40-7 last season as Carson Palmer threw for 304 yards and Jameis Winston threw four interceptions. Both teams are looking to bounce back from losses with Tampa Bay losing a close one to New England and the Cardinals getting embarrassed in Philadelphia. Tampa Bay is now 1-5 ATS its last six games overall and 4-9 ATS after a straight-up or ATS loss dating to last season. Arizona traded for Adrian Peterson, which should provide a much-needed spark as starting running back David Johnson is out for the year. The Cardinals now have a viable option at running back, which will take some pressure off Palmer and help the passing game and also help in short-yardage situations. Winston was 26-of-46 for 334 yards and a touchdown in a losing cause against the Patriots and Doug Martin rushed for 74 yards on 13 carries. The Buccaneers are #30 in yards allowed and their pass defense is second-worst in the league. Also, the kicking game is in shambles. Arizona needs to redeem itself following last week's performance, so take the points and play the Cardinals.
