Arizona Cardinals vs Philadelphia Eagles prediction

The Philadelphia Eagles are more than capable of blowing the doors off if they’re playing well, but they haven’t played well overt the last month. Even last week, in a win over the Giants, the Eagles allowed them to hang around and almost blew that game. The Arizona Cardinals are better with Murray at quarterback, and they’ve covered 4 of their last 8 games. The Eagles have failed to cover their last 4 games overall. Not my favorite game on the week 17 card, but give me the points with the Cards.
