00:00Arizona favorite at home, what a fascinating matchup truly here, Joe, because the Cardinals

00:11for the first time this season, they get it done back-to-back weeks.

00:15Now back-to-back wins are with walk-off field goals, so they're not doing it in dominant

00:21and impressive fashion.

00:23But also winning against Miami with two at back, beating the LA Chargers, those are solid

00:31wins here, man.

00:33Arizona earned a lot of respect for me in that game against Miami.

00:37What are you looking at heading into this 4 o'clock game?

00:39I can only look at Arizona.

00:41Now I will say if this was a college game, I would be taking Chicago.

00:45Anytime you're watching a college game, majority of times, teams losing overtime or on a Hail

00:51Mary typically play well the next day, a week, in terms of a bounce-back spot, but

00:56I can't buy in the Chicago right now.

00:59They don't have a true road win.

01:01Their one-win came in London in that matchup against Jacksonville, but again, they're 0-3

01:06on the road.

01:07They're inconsistent.

01:08The locker room, I'm not sure what you're going to get out of, you know, players speaking

01:12out about Eber flu saying that they should keep it in the locker room, and players like

01:17DJ Moore just speak in their mind.

01:19We've seen inconsistency out of Caleb Williams in the passing attack, only 131 yards last

01:25week.

01:26They're going to need to run the football in this matchup.

01:28I think Arizona, from a defensive perspective, has been, but don't break, but I'm more impressed

01:32with the progression right now of Kyler Murray, and now you see Marvin Harrison with a huge

01:38performance last week.

01:41I like Arizona here.

01:42I can't buy into Chicago.

01:44I need to see it before I believe it.

01:46Normally, I'm not going to be backing rookie quarterbacks on the road, but I actually like

01:49them in this spot.

01:50I think it might have been a great wake-up spot last week.

01:52Like, hey, we had that victory.

01:53Let it slip away.

01:54Let's get the animosity out early in the week.

01:55Let's put together a good game plan.

01:57You're going up against an offense you can score on, and also, Matt Eber flu, I don't

02:00like him as a head coach.

02:01I don't think that's the direction of the football team.

02:03You have a young, exciting offense here, should be a great, innovative guy on that end of

02:07it, which he's not.

02:08He's a defender.

02:09But let's be honest and give him some credit.

02:10You go back in their five-game split here, you know, the Colts, 21-16, you gave them

02:1421 points in that game.

02:15That's okay.

02:16You still should be able to win those.

02:1718-10, 16, and last week, you lost 18-15, which was a Hail Mary.

02:21Take the Hail Mary away.

02:22You barely gave up over double-digit points here to Washington Commanders.

02:25I'm going to trust they get it together and lean on that defense today and make enough

02:28plays on offense.

02:29I've said this from day number one, Arizona's defense, you got to be able to get after them.

02:33They should be able to put up 20-plus points with ease on this team, and I think that's

02:37enough for a victory.

02:38Yeah, I am really torn because I think for a lot of the year, I would have easily liked

02:43Chicago here, but that loss to the Commanders, it's funny where you go, ah, they should have

02:48won the game.

02:49Eh.

02:50They were not, they were outplayed in that game the whole way.

02:53They almost stole that football game, and then it was completely robbed from them in

02:57a bizarre, bizarre fashion.

03:01Maybe me being still semi-in on Miami is what is giving why I was so impressed by what the

03:07Cardinals were able to do last week, but that's where I found myself.

03:10I think it's also the number here.

03:12If I was getting a full field goal with the Bears, right, that would be a little bit more

03:16interesting or a full field, I don't, with this game being largely a coin flip, I couldn't

03:21find myself trusting any of the numbers, but I do like Caleb Williams to bounce back in

03:27a major way.

03:28225 passing yards, he's checking in at even money, six of the eight quarterbacks against

03:32Arizona this year have hit this with five consecutive overs, and Caleb last week, Leecey,

03:38and this is why I think the Offensive Rookie of the Year race is done.

03:41It's not just losing to Jayden and Jayden having, I mean, look, that's his real Heisman

03:46moment, quite frankly.

03:47Like, he should redo the speech when he, and now that he actually has a Heisman moment

03:51under his belt, Caleb played his worst game as a pro, and I think that includes the nightmare

03:56that he had in week number one against Tennessee, but typically that means a player of his talent

04:00can bounce back in the next game.

04:02Yeah, I mean, if he does bounce back, I might look to the total 44 and a half, because if

04:06Arizona's offense can put up at least, you know, 28 and duplicate what they were able

04:11to do last week, this game potentially could sail through the 44 and a half.

04:16The one thing I didn't like with Caleb last week, with Dan Quinn's defense, he looked

04:21a little inconsistent, didn't look confident where he wanted to go with the football, wasn't

04:25until they trailed 12 to nothing and they got into a little bit of a rhythm that he

04:29started to find some continuity.

04:31So again, we'll see how this game plays out.

04:33You'll know early on, Kev, whether he's confident, you know, is he going to DJ more, is he taking

04:38shots down the field?

04:40So I might look to the over, but I still like Arizona in this game.
