The Arizona Cardinals come off their bye week and will prepare to take on the Chicago Bears on the road. Hopefully, it will be with quarterback Kyler Murray and receiver DeAndre Hopkins back in the lineup after missing the last three games.
According to Tipico Sportsbook, they open the week as big favorites on the road, favored by more than a touchdown.
The Bears are 4-7 but are coming off a 16-14 Thanksgiving win over the Detroit Lions on a last-second field goal. Andy Dalton started at quarterback because rookie Justin Fields was out with a rib injury. His status is still unknown for this week.
The Cardinals are 9-2 and 2-2 in their last four games but won two of three with Colt McCoy starting in place of the injured Murray.
