Find our top picks & predictions along with expert analysis on the Saints VS Cardinals here on Canadian Sports Betting.
Moneyline/Point Spread Pick: New Orleans Saints (ML/+2.5)
They may enter as the underdogs but look for the New Orleans Saints to leave State Farm Stadium victorious. Even shorthanded, the Saints have a deep roster on both sides of the football. Health has been the main factor that has held the Saints back this season, but even if a few players don’t suit up for this contest, the Saints will be in great shape to walkaway with a win.
The Saints defence is going to be the X-factor in this win. One of the leagues top defensive units, the Saints have several game-breaking defensive players such as Cameron Jordan and Tyrann Mathieu at their disposal.
Matched up with a Cardinals offence that has struggled to put points on the board this season, the Saint defence is primed to shred through the Card’s offensive line, and put the pressure on Kyler forcing him into rushed situations and tougher passes outside the pocket.
On the offensive end, the Saints are poised to have plenty of success in this matchup a well. Whether its Jameis Winston, Andy Dalton, or even Taysom Hill getting the nod at quarterback, the Saints top playmakers seem to find a way to get the job done.
Everyone loves an underdog, back the Saints to win moneyline or to cover a thing two-point spread on Thursday Night Football against the Cardinals.
Over/Under Pick: Over 43.5 Points
Both teams essentially playing with their season on the line, neither side has any room to play timidly. While the Saints defence is a formidable force, the Cardinals offence is explosive and could pick their spots and find the end zone on multiple drives.
This primetime affair will feature the return of one of the leagues best wide receivers in DeAndre Hopkins. Hopkins has finished serving his six-game suspension and is now ready to make up for lost time and take the Cardinals offence to the next level.
With his number-one target back in the lineup, Kyler Murray is primed to find his reliable target downfield in both long distance and short yardage situations, a luxury he’s been without so far this season.
The Cardinals defence has looked worse for wear this season, especially in pass-coverage. Look for the Saints to match the Cardinals high-octane offence with their own brand of air-raid offence as both teams outscore their season averages and hit the Over as a result.

Below you’ll find our top picks for this marquee matchup as we have selected two players that are bound to have big nights and could secure you an even bigger win.
Alvin Kamara Over 61.5 Rushing Yards
Offensively the Saints are set to (literally) run all over the Cardinals defence. Coming off a matchup with the Seattle Seahawks, the Cardinals allowed 136 rushing yards against to a team that isn’t known for its smash mouth style of play.
With Alvin Kamara chomping at the bit to get out and onto the field, the Pro Bowl running back is set for a big game. Kamaras dynamic ability to use his speed on the outside but play physical up the middle, the Cardinals won’t have an answer for his talents
Bet the over on Kamara’s rushing total against the Cardinals and hit paydirt on this player prop bet.
DeAndre Hopkins Anytime Touchdown Scorer
As mentioned above, DeAndre Hopkins is making his long-awaited return back to the Cardinals lineup and is sure to make an impact immediately for his team. With eight touchdowns in 10 games played last season, Hopkins has proven time and time again he has a nose for the end zone.
Look for D-Hop to pick up where he left off and put six points on the scoreboard and some cash in your pocket, bet Hopkins as an anytime touchdown scorer.
