Aaron Rodgers will lead his New York Jets into State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on Sunday afternoon. The struggling Jets will take on Kyler Murray and the surging Arizona Cardinals. The game kicks off at 4:25 p.m. ET and will be aired on CBS. Let’s jump in and take a look at this Jets-Cardinals preview and predictions.
Aaron Rodgers and the Jets just aren’t having the season they’d hoped for. They come into Week 10 at just 3-6 overall, getting their first win against the Texans last week to stop a five-game losing streak. It was the first win for interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich.
Arizona has been on fire lately. They are winners of three in a row and four of their last five games. Surprisingly Arizona sits atop the standings in the NFC West, half a game over both the Rams and 49ers, both teams they have victories against earlier in the season. They are looking to build on that lead and improve their 5-4 record.

New York Jets at Arizona Cardinals Preview and Predictions
Kyler Murray Over 27.5 Rushing Yards (-121)
Kyler didn’t run very much last week against the Bears in the Cardinals 29-9 win mostly because he just didn’t need to. The Cardinals controlled the entire game and Murray managed it well, saving his legs. That’s led to the books shortening up his rushing yards and giving us a great opportunity.
Kyler has gone over this rushing total in five of the Cardinals nine games so far this season. While the Jets have a stout defense they rank 21st in stopping the run, allowing 132.6 yards per game on the ground. Rushing quarterbacks have taken advantage of that the last few weeks with CJ Stroud running for 59 yards last week and Drake Maye for 46 the week before.
Arizona Cardinals +2.5 (-121)
It blows my mind that the 3-6 New York Jets are favored on the road against a team who’s won three games in a row. Everyone is sleeping on the Cardinals and I like it that way. The team is ranked seventh in the NFL for their ATS record of 6-3. New York on the other hand is the opposite at just 3-6 ATS, the 26th best record in the league.
