Week 7 – @ New York Giants

Sunday October 20, 2019 – 10:00 a.m.

These Giants will be a different team from the last one that came into Glendale at the end of the 2017 season. They will be without receiver Odell Beckham Jr, who was shipped off to the Cleveland Browns in the offseason.

They still will have Eli Manning at quarterback, we think. There were rumors the Giants were trying to trade for Josh Rosen. Those have seemed to die down, at least for the moment.

New York has always been a tough place to play for the Cardinals organization though. However the Cardinals did win in New York five years ago during their last visit 25-14. That was the game where the Cardinals were lead by Drew Stanton at quarterback.

Since both teams have issues on and off the field and so much uncertainty with the upcoming draft, this one seems harder to predict. We’ll do it anyway though. It is the first of two straight games in the Sunday early window.

History: Giants lead 80-44-2
