Cardinals vs Saints NFL Week 1 Preview, Parlay
New Orleans will be one of the worst teams in football this season, mainly due to their below-average offense. Meanwhile, I am optimistic about this Cardinals; I think Kyler Murray will have the Cardinals' offense ready to go, and I expect Arizona to control the pace of this game.
It's hard to see a path to victory here for the Saints, who are starting Spencer Rattler at quarterback
New Orleans will struggle to keep pace this afternoon.
Olave had a quiet 2024 season due to injuries. The former Ohio State standout was limited to just eight games with 32 receptions, 400 yards and a touchdown. It was the first time he didn't surpass 1,000 receiving yards in his NFL career.
But Olave appears to be fully healthy heading into the season, which is a scary sight for the rest of the league. Beyond Olave, there' not much else the Saints have going on besides Alvin Kamara.
The Cardinals enter this game as 5.5-point favorites on the spread, so the potential trailing game script bodes well for Olave, who is one of the few quality pieces on the Saints offense.
