Matthew Stafford Over 0.5 interceptions (-120)

"Stafford had a fantastic day against the Jaguars defense, which isn't saying a whole lot. In his last three competitive games, he threw five TDs and five interceptions, with the Rams losing all three. Now he hits the road for a huge divisional matchup against a Cardinals team that trounced Los Angeles earlier in the year, picking off Stafford once in that game. Arizona is also coming off a game where the defense tallied four interceptions against Andy Dalton. Stafford is certainly a better quarterback than Dalton, but he didn't look much better during the recent three-game losing streak. The only defenses that Stafford managed to not throw an interception against since Week 3's win over the Bucs have been Detroit, Houston and Jacksonville, and the Cardinals are certainly a massive step up from that competition."

Kyler Murray Over 260.5 passing yards (-115)

"Murray topped this total in each of his first four games but only two of the five since. In the three games where he came under this total, the Cardinals held commanding leads against the Browns and Bears, and then played a quicker game against the 49ers with Trey Lance under center on the other side of the field. This matchup doesn't profile as one of the latter cases, as this has bigtime shootout potential with Arizona being able to effectively sew up the NFC West on Monday. In the first meeting between these teams, the Cardinals won comfortably and Murray still managed to get to 268 passing yards, so even in gamescripts where Arizona runs away with the win, we could still get over this number. With Jalen Ramsey sidelined on the COVID list, passing the ball should be even easier for Murray tonight, so let's back him to post a big passing performance."

Cooper Kupp Over 90.5 receiving yards (-115)

"A total of 90.5 receiving yards is nothing to Kupp. He's had double-digit targets in all but one game this year, and the outlier featured nine targets against the Texans. He's also had at least seven catches and 92 yards in all but one game this year, and this time the outlier came against the Cardinals, where Kupp managed only 64 yards on five receptions. Part of that is a very good Cardinals pass defense that hasn't surrendered 300 net passing yards in a game all year. But Kupp still had 13 targets in that down performance, and his season-long catch rate suggests he should have had twice as many receptions in the game. I'm fading the Cardinals being able to keep the best receiver in the NFL underneath 92 yards and a 70% catch rate for a second time when no other defense has managed to do it once this year."
