Cardinals Must Regroup Quickly For Week 8
Playing on Monday Night Football is a blessing and a curse for NFL teams. On one hand, it’s a showcase spot where teams can prove themselves in front of a huge national audience. But it also means less time to prepare for the week to come. That will be the case for the Arizona Cardinals this week, as they play on Sunday after helping to close out Week 7 with a Monday nighter against the Los Angeles Chargers. Having to go on the road on a short week after that could prove problematic for the Cardinals, though that remains to be seen.
Could Tua Tagovailoa Return For the Dolphins?
The Miami Dolphins are 2-4 this season and their offense has completely fallen apart since Tua Tagovailoa went down with a concussion against the Buffalo Bills earlier in the season. But we could see the Dolphins starting quarterback on the field again this week, as he has not been ruled out for Week 8 against the Cardinals. If Tagovailoa is back for this game, that would drastically change the way that the Dolphins function offensively. If he can’t play, it could be more of the same struggles for the hosts in this matchup.
Cardinals vs Dolphins Betting Prediction
Before betting on this game, bettors may want to verify whether or not Tua Tagovailoa is going to play in Cardinals vs Dolphins. But knowing what we know now, we will take the Dolphins to cover the spread as slight favorites. Arizona will be coming off of a short week and will be in a tough road spot regardless of who is in at quarterback for Miami, as the Dolphins should get a much-needed win on their home turf.
