The Arizona Cardinals will be on Monday Night Football next week, but this week it is two potential NFC playoff contenders.
While we anxiously wait for the Cardinals first national TV game of the year, we can see if they can keep pace in the early season NFC playoff race.
Detroit Lions at New York Giants

MetLife Stadium
East Rutherford, New Jersey
Giants -3.5
Over/Under 41.5
The Lions come in off their come from behind win over the Arizona Cardinals. They rely on a young defense and an offense that can't run the ball yet… and yet it may not matter.
For the Giants, they are just trying to find their way early in the season. Without Odell Beckham Jr, they seem lost offensively. If he's in the lineup tonight, I think the Giants may have a chance, but without him, I'll take the Lions, even on the road.
