Week 4: Cardinals Visit Giants as J.J. McCarthy Arrives in New York
The Arizona Cardinals visit the New York Giants on Sunday, October 4. New York is 2-1 after a 12-7 win over Tennessee on four Dominic Zvada field goals; Jaxson Dart had knee surgery and is out for at least the rest of the regular season, the Giants traded a 2027 fifth-round pick for J.J. McCarthy on Monday, and Jameis Winston is expected to start. Arizona is 1-2 after a 36-30 loss at San Francisco in which Jacoby Brissett completed 38 of 52 passes and the Cardinals held the ball for nearly 39 minutes; cornerback Will Johnson could miss the season with a neck injury. Thursday update: Winston is confirmed as the starter.
Winston now, McCarthy soon
Winston has 229 passing yards in two appearances; McCarthy has had less than a week with the playbook.
The Giants' defense
Seven points allowed to Tennessee with two takeaways.
Arizona's ball control
Thirty points and 365 yards in San Francisco behind Brissett and Jeremiyah Love.
AI Prediction
Cardinals 
Giants New York's defense at home
The Giants won without a touchdown last week, and Arizona's offense has one good game in three.
The Giants' offense is limited
Two hundred thirty-eight yards against Tennessee, which is why this is a 3-point projection.
Arizona can control the clock
Brissett's 38 completions show a way to keep New York's defense on the field.
A Low-confidence home lean built on defense. The pick assumes Winston starts.
