NFL Week 7 Regular Season action sees the Arizona Cardinals<\/strong> taking on the Oakland Raiders<\/strong> on Sunday October 19 at O.co Coliseum. Cappers Picks provides free *NFL* handicapping tips all season long. <\/p>\n The Arizona Cardinals hit the road in Week 7 to take on the Oakland Raiders, a team that has lost 11 straight games dating back to last season.<\/p>\n Arizona<\/a> (4-1) at Oakland<\/a> (0-5)<\/strong> Click here to view… NFL ATS Stats<\/a>\u00a0&\u00a0*NFL Gambling Insight!*<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The Cardinals have looked good this season despite being forced to use three different quarterbacks while the Raiders \u2013 they looked better in their first game under interim coach Tony Sporano but came up shot again last week against San Diego. <\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63753&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n Is Oakland\u2019s first will in 10 months on the horizon or are the ascending Cardinals the latest to take the doormats Raiders down?<\/p>\n Arizona has, outside of the Dallas Cowboys and perhaps the Philadelphia Eagles, been the nicest surprise in the NFL this season. Their only loss came at the hands of Denver \u2013 no shame in that! After a 30-20 win against Washington, the Carson Palmer led Cards will look to stay atop the NFC West standings (did I just say that???) this Sunday.<\/p>\n Carson Palmer surprisingly returned from injury in Week 6 but clearly isn\u2019t quite 100% yet. Still he threw for 250 yards and two TDs Sunday on 28 of 44 passing and he even got Larry Fitzgerald into the end zone for the first time in eight games. Fitz ended up with 98 yards on the day and scored for the first time since last year \u2013 amazing!<\/p>\n The Cards will likely have to lean on the passing game again this week \u2013 the running game is stuck in neutral\u2026 again! Arizona ranks 29th in the NFL in rushing \u2013 just 85.6 yards per game and they are coming off a 74 yard effort against a horrendous Washington run stopping unit. No big deal though \u2013 the Cards have enough firepower in the passing attack to more than get things done against Oakland\u2019s brutal defense.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=66501&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n Arizona\u2019s defense has been surprisingly bad against the pass this year \u2013 309 yards allowed per game. Shocking I know. The Cards go up against Derek Carr who lit up the fifth ranked Chargers defense last week. Interesting indeed. It\u2019s a good thing for the Cards\u2019 third ranked run defense \u2013 they should be able to shut down Darren McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew.<\/p>\n The Oakland Raiders actually represented themselves very well last week against San Diego \u2013 they pushed the Chargers to the end and had a realistic chance to gain their first win of the year.<\/p>\n The good news for Oakland has been the emergence of Derek Carr who looks like their answer at QB. He will experience some growing pains but he is proving to be the only thing right for the Raiders right now. Carr threw for 282 yards and four TDs against a fifth ranked Chargers pass defense last week and gave the team a chance to win. <\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63752&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n The Raiders are going to have to throw \u2013 their running backs won\u2019t do much against Arizona\u2019s stout run defense.<\/p>\n \u2022 ARI are 10-1 ATS vs. a team with a losing record. It\u2019s awfully tempting to take the Raiders and Derek Carr to pull the upset here. <\/p>\n But my bet is Carson Palmer marching up and down the field against a bad Oakland defense and for the underachieving pass defense to do enough in the end. Arizona is just too good a team to lose to a team like the lowly Raiders.<\/p>\n\n
