New York Giants (0-1) vs. Arizona Cardinals (0-1)
New York Giants vs. Arizona Cardinals 9/17/23 – As the NFL enters its second week, the Arizona Cardinals and New York Giants look set for an intense matchup. Both sides hope to rebound after an uninspiring start – making their September 17th matchup at State Farm Stadium an absolutely must-watch telecast by FOX at 4:05 pm ET and offering plenty of wagering opportunities.
James Conner is an offensive cornerstone for the Cardinals. In Week 1, his 14 carries averaged 4.4 yards per carry, showing off his ability to dissect defensive lines and make crucial gains. Furthermore, Conner excels as a versatile asset during passing situations- particularly short yardage scenarios- as a versatile asset. Rondale Moore impressed last week by accruing 33 yards off just three receptions; combined with his speed and special teams contribution, making him a potency threat in multiple ways; developing rapport with quarterback Joshua Dobbs could allow Moore become an even bigger influencer on game day.
On the Giants’ end, Saquon Barkley serves as the cornerstone of their offense. Even though he only amassed 51 yards over 12 runs in Week 1, Barkley remains an effective force capable of changing the course of any game with one big play or two. Daniel Jones can count on Barkley as an insurance policy in passing games; and wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins offers valuable agility and catching skills should defenses focus too heavily on Barkley.

Daniel Jones QB vs. Joshua Dobbs QB
Joshua Dobbs of the Arizona Cardinals seemed in better form during their season opener than their opponent, as his passer rating of 78.8 and 21 completed passes out of 30 attempts for 132 yards demonstrated both poise and control, recording no turnovers during play – an important advantage in an NFL environment where games often turn on one play alone. That could give Dobbs an edge heading into Week 2 when games hinge on single plays like any other.
On the other hand, New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones endured a disappointing debut performance, earning only 32.4 passer rating. Out of 28 attempts completed and no touchdowns scored; two costly interceptions also added to this poor showing. As Week 2 approaches all eyes will be on Jones to try and move past this poor showing; his struggles put him firmly in the spotlight and this game could prove crucial to his early season success or failure.
