The Cardinals and Giants both lost in week 1, but the cause for optimism in both camps is wildly different.
The Cards put up a valiant effort in defeat against the Commanders in Washington, which flew slightly in the face of our preseason chat about actively tanking. They still lost, and they didn't look great, but they did enough to pause our assumption that coaches and players are all in on the no.1 pick in 2024.
On the other side, the Giants lost 40-0 in a humiliating nationally televised game against Dallas, and immediately, questions about their 2023 season have begun. They're -6 favorites here, but can they escape Arizona with a win?
