Arizona at New Orleans

This is a high NFL Week 2 preseason total and it's hard to see why. It's a short week of preparation for Arizona having played Saturday against the Chargers. The Cardinals have a new playbook with first-year offensive coordinator Mike McCoy. They got a win and 24 points, but only had 118 yards passing and 56 rushing in the preseason opener. The ground game averaged just 2.7 yards per carry as they rebuild the offensive line. The Cardinals lost longtime QB Carson Palmer so they are working in a bevy of new signal callers in Chad Kanoff, Mike Glennon, Sam Bradford and rookie QB Josh Rosen. Rosen didn't get much help from his offensive line, having to dodge the rush to get a pass off. The four were a combined 12-of-26 passing with one TD, one pick as Arizona was 0-for-11 on third down...and that was at home! Now they head out on the road to face a young New Orleans defense with plenty to prove, even in preseason. They come off a win at Jacksonville as the defense shined, allowing 2.8 yards per rush and getting six sacks. They may double that sack total against this weak Arizona O-line. Don't look for many minutes from QB Drew Brees, with the Saints rotation dropping off sharply with Taysom Hill, Tom Savage and rookie J.T. Barrett. Play the UNDER.
