Game Preview:

The Raiders are only two weeks into the season and they’ve already benched starting quarterback Jason Campbell in favor of backup Bruce Gradkowski, who led the team to a 16-14 win last week against the Rams. Gradkowski will start once again this week against an Arizona defense that allowed 41 points last week in a loss to the Falcons.

 

Maybe the Cardinals should consider benching their quarterback too, as Derek Anderson continues to struggle. He’s only completing 54.2% of his passes and has thrown one touchdown compared to two interceptions. Of course, his offensive line isn’t helping him much either, as he’s been sacked four times already in two games. The Cards do get Beanie Wells (knee) back from injury this weekend, so maybe their offense can start to build some cohesion.

 

Line Movement & Updated Odds:

Oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com have made the Cardinals 3.5-point opening favorites and now list them at –4.5. The over/under total is currently sitting at 39 after opening at 40.
