Can the Arizona Cardinals beat the New York Jets?

ARIZONA — The Arizona Cardinals host the New York Jets in Week 10, and State Farm Stadium should be in tip-top shape as the home team gets a chance to begin its bye week on a four-game winning streak.

Aaron Rodgers and the rest of the green gang could stand in the way of that, though.

It’s been a anything but ideal start to the year for New York, which fired coach Robert Saleh earlier in the season and acquired Davante Adams in hopes of turning things around. The Jets managed to come out on top in their Week 9 Thursday Night Football matchup with the Houston Texans and are coming off a long bye week.

At 3-6, New York desperately needs a win to keep hope alive in the Big Apple while the Cardinals could enter their bye week at 6-4 and avoid falling back to .500.

This isn’t a must-win for either team, although a win would be a big boost for the respective teams in different ways.

The Jets are betting favorites at sports betting sites, although Arizona is a trendy underdog pick heading into Sunday.

Who comes out on top?

Our predictions:

New York Jet

Donnie Druin – The Arizona Cardinals are not favored by most to win this game, for what reason? Jonathan Gannon gets this team into rhythm at the right time and has demonstrated the ability to play solid football on both sides of the ball. Sure, the Jets have Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams on offense, but they haven’t really found their rhythm yet, even after a win. Is this the week coming? I don’t think so. AZ 26, NYJ 17

Kyler Burd – The New York Jets have probably been the most disappointing team in football this year, while the Arizona Cardinals are on the opposite end of the spectrum as they are exceeding expectations. It’s hard to believe that the dysfunctional Jets will magically find their way to State Farm Stadium, however, anything is possible. They have a lot of guys on defense that could be problematic, but after three straight wins, I’m ready to join the team that’s on the rise. AZ 27, NYJ 13

Richie Bradshaw – This Arizona Cardinals team is trending in the right direction with a three-game winning streak, and I’m wary that they’re susceptible to a trap game… The Jets haven’t been good by any means this year and I find it hard to believe it. in them to accomplish a lot, but they have a dangerous attack and many weapons in defense. There’s no reason why a team as talented as the Jets shouldn’t be able to compete against most competition, but that’s what coaching will do to you. The Cardinals are much better coached and prepared for this game, but I can’t shake this feeling that the Jets have bad intentions in ending the winning streak. I hope I’m wrong, but I think the Cards are no match for a team that has absolutely nothing left to lose. NYJ 24, AZ 20
