Will the Eagles remain unbeaten in Arizona?

The Eagles are currently the Cardinals of the preseason and the last team in the league still undefeated. That sounds surprising at first glance, but if you take into account their development and also the easy opening programme, then it could have been expected.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts in particular has taken another giant leap forward in his development. A leap that the Cards always hoped for from Kyler Murray, but never really got.

That’s why the Eagles are considered the clear favourites on Sunday, despite playing away in Phoenix. In their last away appearance in Washington, however, they showed what they are capable of in foreign stadiums.

With this excellent rushing unit and the confidence of the first weeks behind them, our prediction for Cardinals against Eagles is a fifth win in a row for Philly. How high it will be depends on the form of Kyler Murray and his teammates on the day.

Kickoff for the game is Sunday at 7:00 pm in Phoenix, Arizona. The game can be watched live on DAZN’s ENDZN.

Arizona Cardinals – Statistics & current form

Home defeat follows away success follows home defeat follows away success. That’s how the Arizona Cardinals’ season is going so far and, according to the law of the page, another home defeat should follow on Sunday. Against the only unbeaten team in the league, this would not be a big surprise.

In general, Arizona’s home schedule this season is a tough one, with home games against the 49ers, Chargers and Bucs to come. So we even expect the Cards to end up with a negative record at home.

Cardinals still without Hopkins

The Arizona Cardinals still have two games to go without their best wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins before he can return to action after his suspension. That endeavour has gone only semi-well so far. With 22.0 points per game, the team ranks only in the middle of the league.

Now, of all times, the team that allows the third-fewest yards per game on average (277.3) comes to Arizona. It will be up to Marquise Brown and Zach Ertz to pull the coals out of the fire, as they did against Carolina with a touchdown each.

Turnover Battle with decisive

If there’s one thing the Cardinals have done really well this season, it’s protecting their own possession. They have committed two turnovers this season – two interceptions by Murray. They have not yet had a single fumble in 2022.

The problem is that the Eagles are the team that leads the +/ statistics and has already generated +8 turnovers, including five interceptions and five forced fumbles. They have also not yet given up a single fumble.

So the turnover battle is a very important point for us for Sunday, who can pull the pendulum on his side. With the Eagles slightly ahead here as well, Arizona vs. Philly odds are favouring the away team to win.

Philadelphia Eagles – stats & recent form

They run and run and run. And every now and then Jalen Hurts throws a touchdown. He doesn’t have to, though, as outstanding as the Eagles’ rushing game has been this year. 165.3 rushing yards per game and already ten rushing touchdowns – breathtaking numbers.

The next best teams in the league have just seven rushing touchdowns each. With this we have also discovered a great betting option, as both a rushing TD from Jalen Hurts and one from Miles Sanders are likely.

When will we see the first dent in the Eagles game?

The bottom line is that the Eagles are repeating the Cardinals’ start from last year this season. They won their first seven games of the season then and were also the last undefeated team at the end. Then, however, a slump followed with six defeats from the remaining ten games.

However, we don’t see this slump for Philly beforehand, as they are much more stable, especially defensively. They can also win a game with a total of only around 30 points. A quality that also makes them the secret favourites for the Super Bowl.

Eagles are considered early starters

What stands out this season is how well Philly always gets into games. They were already up by ten against the Lions at halftime, 17 against the Vikings, 24 against Washington and six against the Jaguars.

That also argues for an early lead against the Cardinals, as they have trailed at halftime in all four of their meetings. For Cardinals vs. Eagles, a bet on Eagles at halftime/final score is by far the most promising betting recommendation.

Arizona Cardinals – Philadelphia Eagles Head-to-head comparison / H2H record

The Cardinals have won three of the last five meetings. In Phoenix, Philly has already waited five games for a win. However, this Eagles team is made of different stuff than the teams before.

They simply run everything into the ground and when the opposing defence has adjusted, Jalen Hurts also throws touchdowns. Still, Philadelphia’s success depends 80% on the running game.

Also, the Eagles defence is a wall in 2022, which somewhat calls into question the high-scoring total in this matchup. So in the Cardinals vs. Eagles matchup, even the betting odds on subpar points are still an underdog pick.

Arizona Cardinals – Philadelphia Eagles Tip

Yeah, where do they run? This is what opposing defenses must feel like in the NFL right now, and the Cardinals will be no different on Sunday. As long as none of the Egales rushers get hurt, that shouldn’t change much either.

That is why a bet on the Eagles is currently the safest bet in the NFL for Arizona against Philadelphia. However, with the bookies now handicapping them by a lot of points (5-6 on average), halftime/final bets per Philly are even slightly more recommended.

We have also already addressed betting on subpar points as an interesting possibility. The 49.0 total points set has only been surpassed twice in both Eagles and Cardinals games.
