Week 7 – Denver Broncos

After a short week, the Cardinals return home for their only national television game of the season on Thursday Night Football .  This will be the Broncos first trip to Arizona in the regular season since 2010 when the Cardinals defeated the Broncos 43-13.

Although you shouldn’t expect the same result, this is a good chance for the Cardinals to get back into the win column.  There is one obstacle though, quarterback Case Keenum.

Keenum, who played for the Vikings in 2017, knows the Cardinals well.  He started against the Cardinals in the Rams game in Arizona in 2016 and came away with the 17-13 win.

However, not everyone is sold on what the Broncos are selling in 2018.  By week seven though, we all should have a better grip on which direction the Broncos are heading.

For now, let’s give the Cardinals the benefit of the doubt.  Oh, and the win too.
