Thursday Night Football Same Game Parlay Week 7

The Arizona Cardinals and the New Orleans Saints are kicking off Week 7 of the NFL season. The Saints are dealing with injuries to players like wide receiver Michael Thomas and cornerback Marshon Lattimore.

On the other side, the Cardinals are without wide receiver Marquise Brown for the foreseeable future and guard Justin Pugh but will get DeAndre Hopkins back after a six-game suspension.

Earlier this week, the Cardinals traded for Robbie Anderson, too.

Arizona Cardinals vs. New Orleans Saints: +650

Cardinals -1.5 (-110)

After scoring just nine points against the terrible Seattle Seahawks defense, taking the Cardinals as a favorite can cause some trepidation.

However, this offense should start to take a better form with Hopkins back, quarterback Kyler Murray more, and bonus points if head coach Kliff Kingsbury starts giving up on some of the playcalling duties.

Without Lattimore, the Saints will have a tough time keeping Hopkins in check. While they could look to double Hopkins with safety Tyrann Mathieu, the Cardinals have several speed threats, such as Anderson. He could be used as a deep-route decoy to beat single coverage.

The Cardinals' offense will run through Murray running. We can expect the ball to go to him whenever Hopkins has single coverage.

Hopkins is coming off suspension, not injury, so he should be more than ready to go and see double-digit targets.

The Saints will have Jameis Winston back at quarterback, but the lack of receivers could cause issues for the Saints to beat a two-headed monster in Murray and Hopkins.

Zach Ertz Under 44.5 Receiving Yards (+115)

With Hopkins back in the lineup, Ertz will already see fewer targets. However, with Brown out, maybe that helps Ertz out.

This could be the case, but either way, Ertz has a tough matchup ahead of him with linebacker Demario Davis.

Davis has allowed just 100 yards all season, and Ertz had flirted with 40-48 receiving yards in most games this year.

He had 70 last week, but he tends to live in the 40s, which, against a more difficult matchup and some potentially new go-to plans on offense, could lead to him having less production this time around.

Kyler Murray Any Time Touchdown (+160)

Over the last three weeks, Murray has had double-digit carries two times. He has two rushing touchdowns this year, with the most recent coming in Week 4.

While he didn’t have a rushing touchdown in Week 6, he did have 100 yards.

There’s been an emphasis on allowing Murray to run more. With a backfield that includes James Conner out with an injury and Eno Benjamin limited in practice with a foot injury, Murray should see double-digit carries again.

Whenever a quarterback has double-digit carry upside and his Any Time Touchdown odds are something like +160, it’s a more than reasonable bet.
