FanDuel. Antonio Gibson has cleared this line in 9/13 games this season, and is coming off two strong games, back-to-back (63 and 31 rush yards). He’s very much been a more efficient runner than Rhamondre Stevenson (4.7 yards per carry vs 3.7), but even with a back-up’s workload, this is a very attainable line. The Cardinals have allowed the 11th most running back rush yards per game, at 104.8. Gibson, who has regularly hit this line despite negative gamescripts, should be able to join the 9/13 Cardinals’ opposing back-up RBs to clear this line.

The Cardinals have lost three straight but two of the losses were to the Seahawks who they haven't beaten 4 years and the other was at Minnesota, a game that they were dominating and lost in the final minutes. The Patriots are just the type of team they need to face and get back on track with their season. Before the three game losing streak they won four straight and handled teams like the Jets, Bears, Chargers. and beat the Dolphins on the road. The Cardinals are better than this. And the Patriots are one of the worst offenses in the NFL, ranked 31st averaging 291 yards per game. Cardinals win this game and cover.

The Cardinals have lost three straight after surprisingly leading the division at midseason, and I wonder if this is a classic letdown spot with the playoffs likely out of reach following the loss to the Seahawks. Despite the recent skid, this is the most the Cardinals have been favored by since 2021, and they've lost two of their three games as favorites this year. The Patriots have lost by more than six just once since Week 7, and they should be healthier out of the bye with an improving rookie QB who may take a leap after the week off. I get the line based on rating, but this number is too high for me.

One week after nearly upsetting the Vikings on the road, the Cardinals turned in one of their worst performances of the season, losing 30-18 to the Seahawks at home. The Patriots have dropped three straight and remain in the hunt for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. I expect a much better performance from Arizona, who is still alive in the NFC West race, in this spot. The Patriots have struggled on the road this season and they have a divisional showdown against the Bills looming next week. In the end, I like the Cardinals to win by a touchdown here.

Patriots road games are averaging just 36 points, the second lowest total in the NFL. They are under on average by 4.93 points (avg close: 41). Pats games outside the AFC East average 42.2 points and NE has scored 19 or less in 6 of 7 on road (3 of 4 games vs NFC are 43 points or less). Cards D is legit, Kyler Murray is in his typical late-season funk and AZ is 5-3-1 to the under outside the division. No explosion in the NE offense. Cards lacking explosion in the run game these days.
