Arizona is fresh off a battle with the Atlanta Falcons in what was Kyler Murray’s 2023 season debut. Murray made his first return to the field after rehabbing from an ACL injury in the season prior, and with him back in the fold he immediately provided a boon to his surrounding weapons on offense. The Cardinals hadn’t had a tight end reach 100 yards in nearly three decades, while Trey McBride reached 98 yards midway through the third quarter with Murray in the pocket.
The Texans picked up a huge upset win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 10, fending off the AFC contender to the tune of 30-27 on the road. C.J. Stroud once again added to his resume for Offensive Rookie of the Year, helping facilitate another game-winning drive to help propel Houston on a last-second field goal.
Stroud finished 23/39 for 356 yards with one touchdown and an interception, as the Texans moved to 5-4 on the season while remaining in the hunt for the AFC South.
Heading into Sunday afternoon, the Cardinals were 4-5 against the spread and 1-4 on the road, while the Texans were 5-4 overall and 2-2 at home. While having Kyler Murray back into the fold should make things interesting, it’s hard to ignore the Texans’ +5.5 average scoring margin when at home this season. With Stroud continuing to play red hot, take Houston to win and cover at home.
