Ryan Fitzpatrick will throw two interceptions

The running joke seems to be the old ‘Oprah’ gift joke with Jets starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.  You get a pick, you get pick, and you get a pick, etc.

The Cardinals defense should come up with at least two interceptions of Fitzpatrick on Monday night.  Of course he’d be doing it in front of family and friends.  He went to Gilbert Highland high school locally.

Fitzpatrick will also be without receiver Eric Decker who went on injured reserve this week.  He will still have receiver Brandon Marshall.  However if the Cardinals have done their homework, there should no reason why the Cardinals defense shouldn’t be able to feast on Fitzpatrick.

I would also expect the Cardinals pass rush to create havoc as well.  That certainly could lead to the Cardinals picks.  What goes with a good pass rush?  Sacks.  The Cardinals could also generate some sacks of Fitzpatrick.  Either way, he should give it up at least a couple of times in the air.
