Week 6 Monday Night Football Betting Preview

Carson Palmer and the Arizona Cardinals often have trouble covering as a home favorite, but have an excellent opportunity to break out against the New York Jets’ porous pass defense. The Cardinals are the eight-point favorite against the Jets in the Monday night matchup.

Arizona is only 2-8 against the spread in their last 10 home games after an outright defeat against the Los Angeles Rams in their most recent outing at University of Phoenix Stadium, but they are 8-0 straight up in their last eight home games after losing their previous home game.

Prior to missing Week 5 while completing the NFL concussion protocol, Palmer had been struggling, with his lowest quarterback rating since 2013. The scenario seems tailor-made for the Cardinals. The Jets allow a NFL-worst 9.2 yards per pass, and CB Darrelle Revis (hamstring), has not been participating in practice. Arizona might finally be able to get Carson, WR Larry Fitzgerald, WR Michael Floyd and WR John Brown on the same page.
