Week 4: Cardinals Visit Giants as J.J. McCarthy Arrives in New York

Read the full recap →

The Arizona Cardinals visit the New York Giants on Sunday, October 4. New York is 2-1 after a 12-7 win over Tennessee on four Dominic Zvada field goals; Jaxson Dart had knee surgery and is out for at least the rest of the regular season, the Giants traded a 2027 fifth-round pick for J.J. McCarthy on Monday, and Jameis Winston is expected to start. Arizona is 1-2 after a 36-30 loss at San Francisco in which Jacoby Brissett completed 38 of 52 passes and the Cardinals held the ball for nearly 39 minutes; cornerback Will Johnson could miss the season with a neck injury. Thursday update: Winston is confirmed as the starter.

Winston now, McCarthy soon

Winston has 229 passing yards in two appearances; McCarthy has had less than a week with the playbook.

The Giants' defense

Seven points allowed to Tennessee with two takeaways.

Arizona's ball control

Thirty points and 365 yards in San Francisco behind Brissett and Jeremiyah Love.

Pregame AI Prediction

Winner called correctly Confidence: Low

How the prediction did

Predicted 17-20 (Cardinals vs Giants), final was 24-36. Right winner at Low confidence, with the total far over the projection. Jameis Winston threw three touchdown passes, Malik Nabers had 112 yards, and Deonte Banks returned an interception 98 yards to seal it. The model expected a 20-17 defensive game and got 60 points and six turnovers.

New York's defense at home

The Giants won without a touchdown last week, and Arizona's offense has one good game in three.

The Giants' offense is limited

Two hundred thirty-eight yards against Tennessee, which is why this is a 3-point projection.

Arizona can control the clock

Brissett's 38 completions show a way to keep New York's defense on the field.

A Low-confidence home lean built on defense. The pick assumes Winston starts.
