The Cardinals (2-3-1) will face off against the Giants (2-4) in Week 7 of the NFL season. This game is the matchup of rookie quarterbacks as No. 1 overall pick Kyler Murray will square off against Daniel Jones, the sixth pick. This will be the first time this season that a pair of rookies will face off at quarterback against each other.
This game is sure to be going until the end, with the Cardinals vying to get to their third win of the season. Coming off of two close wins in the last two games, Kyler Murray wants to prove himself and get his team to a more even 3-3-1. The Cardinals have been playing good football despite what their record says. They have only allowed four turnovers, which is tied for the best tally in the NFL. They also have the ninth-ranked offense. If they get a win this week, they will have already tied the number of wins they recorded last year.
The Giants, on the other hand, still have a shot at the playoffs. They sit in third place of the NFC East, just behind the Cowboys and Eagles, who are tied for first. The Giants are holding a .333 win percentage, while the teams ahead of them are at .500. Led by the rookie out of Duke, Daniel Jones, the Giants have had a mediocre season. If they can pull out a win against the Cardinals, Jones should be able to prove himself against the rookie phenom Murray.
Arizona Stardom
David Johnson is easily becoming a key player for the Cardinals. Last week, he scored two touchdowns, and he is coming into this week’s game with a streak of three consecutive games with at least 60 rushing yards.
Larry Fitzgerald is also a record-breaking player for the Cards. In Week 4, Fitzgerald passed Tony Gonzalez to move into second on the NFL all-time career receptions list. He is now only behind the legendary Jerry Rice. He has caught a pass from 21 different quarterbacks in his 16-year career.

Prediction
I think the Cardinals will pull away with a 38-14 win The Cardinals have been on a roll and there is no reason they will stop. At home, the Giants hold a 1-2 record, while the Cardinals hold a 1-1 away record.
Kyler Murray will have a good game, and Zane Gonzalez will kick a field goal. Last week against Atlanta, Gonzalez was a perfect six-for-six. Larry Fitzgerald and David Johnson will both have 100-yard games and score a touchdown each.
The Cardinals’ defense will limit Daniel Jones to only two touchdowns. The defense will take this opportunity to shine and make a bunch of key plays to stop the Giants.
Overall, this should be a good game that will give the rookies a chance to prove themselves.
