When they take on the Cleveland Browns in a difficult Week 6 battle, which matchups out on the field should favor the Arizona Cardinals?

Despite the Arizona Cardinals still being undefeated, they are underdogs as they travel to take on the Cleveland Browns in Week 6.

But they shouldn’t be, especially when we look at recent history. Sure, the Cardinals love to make things interesting when they play teams they’re supposed to beat, such as Trey Lance and the San Francisco 49ers, and Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Give them a tough matchup and tell them they can’t win. The Cardinals, at least in 2021, have risen to the challenge. So far, and even as far back as 2020, they have been a football team that plays to its competition, and it’s a double-edged sword. But it’s a favorable matchup when they need to reset the body clock and head onto the shores of Lake Erie, which often shows the first signs of winter in October.

The Cardinals have a few more favorable matchups heading into their Week 6 showdown with the Browns. Today, we will explore three of them, starting with their strange favorable matchup implied above – the ability to play to competition.
