Arizona Cardinals vs New York Giants 10/20/19 NFL Betting Odds and Prediction

The Arizona Cardinals and New York Giants tangle at MetLife Stadium on Sunday 10/20/19 in Week 7 of the 2019 NFL season.

Cardinals Escape With Second Win

For the second consecutive times, the Arizona Cardinals built a big lead, lost it but came back to escape with their second win of the season. Atlanta’s Matt Bryant missed an extra point attempt in the closing minutes of Sunday’s game that enabled coach Kliff Kingsbury to get another win from the jaws of defeat.

Kyler Murray connected on 27 out of 27 passes and threw for 340 yards with three passing touchdowns. David Johnson rushed for 34 yards and had one rushing touchdown while Larry Fitzgerald had six catches for 69 yards. The win was Arizona’s first at home since October 2018.

The Cardinals rank 11th in passing yards with 254.2 per game this season. They also rank 12th overall with 122.7 rushing yards per game. Arizona is averaging 22.3 points per game this season but they are allowing their opponents to put up 28.5 points per game against them.

Giants Lose To Patriots

After two straight wins, the New York Giants have lost two in a row. On Sunday, the Giants bowed to the still-unbeaten New England Patriots. The defending Super Bowl champions forced four interceptions by the Giants to win 35-14. New York played without star running back Saquon Barkley and key players like Evan Engram and Sterling Shepard who were nursing injuries.

Daniel Jones looked lost as he went just 15-31 for 161 passing yards with one touchdown but three interceptions. The Giants were only able to rush for a total of 52 yards with Jonathan Hilliman’s 38 yards leading the way. Golden Tate has six catches for 102 receiving yards with one touchdown.

The Giants are 18th in the NFL in passing yards with 234.2 per game. They also rank 17th on the ground with an average of 105.3 rushing yards per contest. New York is scoring 18.5 points per game, good for 24th in the league while allowing their opponents to score 26.7 points per game this season.

Who Wins?

Arizona is 3-10-1 SU in their last 14 games played. The Cardinals are 1-4 SU in their last five games against the NFC East Division. New York is 2-7 SU in their last nine games played. The Giants are 1-2 SU in three home games this season and 1-4 SU in their last five games against the NFC West Division. Head to head, the Cardinals are 3-1 SU in their last four meetings but enter this game as the NFL betting underdogs against the Giants.

Both these teams have two wins each but Arizona has won their games on the last play of the game. The Cardinals lost leads in both games but were able to get their bearings back and win in the end. The Giants have been steadier but after getting their two wins, they lost to 4-2 Minnesota and 6-0 New England. And they were without Saquon Barkley in both games. Barkley has resumed practice last week but is still questionable for this October 20 game. If Barkley does return, it will be an easier pick to make. But I think that even without Barkley, the Giants are going to pull off this home win over the Cardinals. I’m picking the New York Giants to beat the Arizona Cardinals. Prediction: New York Giants

Other Bets To Make

Arizona is 5-2 ATS in their last seven games played. The Cardinals are 4-1 ATS in their last five games played on the road. The Giants are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games played. New York is 1-4 ATS in their last five games played at home. Head to head, the Cardinals are 6-4 ATS in their last 10 games played against the Giants. Arizona is also 5-1 ATS in their last six road games against New York.

The Cardinals have outscored the Giants by only 1.2 points per game in their last 10 games and 10.0 points per game in their last three meetings. Arizona’s two wins this season have been decided by a total of four points while all but one of the Giants’ games this season have been won by at least two touchdowns. These are two rookie quarterbacks and while Murray has shown flashes of brilliance, I think Daniel Jones has been steadier as he has the better adjusted QBR than Murray. Prediction: Giants -3

Place Your Bet Here

The total has gone over in five out of the last seven games played by Arizona. The over 4-1 in the Cardinals’ last five games against the NFC Conference. The total has gone over in five out of the last seven games of New York against the NFC Conference but the under is 5-2 in their last seven Week 7 games played. Head to head, the under is 9-3 in the last 12 meetings between these two teams.

These teams have combined to score a total of 40.4 points per game in their last 10 meetings and 40.0 points per game in their last three encounters. The Cardinals have hit a total of at least 49 points in four out of their six games played this season. Meanwhile, the Giants have seen a total of 49 points in just two of their six games this season. These two teams are in the bottom half in team scoring this season. However, both are also in the bottom six in scoring defense. These are two teams who can score if given the opportunity. With their defenses unable to stop one another, this should be a high scoring game. Prediction: Over 49
