DeAndre Hopkins' return sparks hope for anemic Cardinals' offense ... (ESPN)

The Cardinals' offense has been stuck in the doldrums all season. Will adding an elite receiver like Hopkins into the mix right the ship?

“You get a guy back who's been out and is able to galvanize his team and really motivate and inspire people because he's back and DeAndre's one of the few skill guys in the league that I think he has that ability ... “I’m able to create mismatches on the field,” Hopkins said. And Anderson can be a big-play threat for the Cardinals, who are desperately in need of some. “Obviously, one person can’t go out there and win a game,” Hopkins said. “We have more issues than that we’ve got to correct and we can’t just expect him to be the savior. 1 cornerback such as Philadelphia’s [Darius Slay](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/15863/darius-slay), the Los Angeles Rams’ [Jalen Ramsey](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/3045373/jalen-ramsey) and Seattle’s [Tariq Woolen](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4245185/tariq-woolen). “He's going to be a huge help,” former Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald said. So, it’s going to be a lot of guys getting one-on-ones.” “A lot of people look at it as a down year for someone like myself,” Hopkins said. Obviously, having [Hopkins] back definitely helps, but we’ve still got to be better in all the areas that we’re not good in right now.” He didn’t reach 100 yards in any of the 10 games he played last season, which was unusual for a receiver with 37 career games in triple-digit yards. The Cardinals hope his presence makes a difference Thursday night, when he takes the field for the first time since Dec.

Cardinals: Three Storylines to Follow vs. Saints (Sports Illustrated)

The Arizona Cardinals are in desperate search for a win. Will it come in Week 7's Thursday Night Football battle?

Saints at Cardinals Thursday Night - NFL betting odds, picks, tips (ESPN)

Our betting and fantasy analysts answer some of the most pressing questions surrounding Thursday night's matchup between the New Orleans Saints and Arizona ...

Yes, the NFL has a lot of 3-3 and 2-4 teams this year, but there are differences between them when you look at the underlying play-by-play performance, and the Cardinals and Saints are among the league's worst teams so far. With all the injuries the Saints are dealing with, especially on a short work week, Hill was one of the few offensive skilled position players able to participate in full practices. Our playoff odds simulation puts the Saints in the playoffs 18% of the time and the Cardinals just 7% of the time. Both teams are 2-4 and a game back of the 3-3 logjam for the final NFC playoff spot. James Conner should be returning soon as well, and if the Cards are able to find their offensive stride (and start showing up before halftime) they still have a legitimate chance to win their division (+1200), let alone just make the playoffs. I like Kyler to turn the ball over in this game, given the probable lack of timing and the predictable aggressiveness throwing to his guy. Wide receivers [Michael Thomas](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/2976316/michael-thomas) and [Jarvis Landry](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/16790/jarvis-landry), along with DB [Marshon Lattimore](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/3121421/marshon-lattimore) are all expected to be out. The Saints defense certainly has not lived up to our projections, but defense is fairly inconsistent; our prior knowledge is valuable, and the Saints defense will probably be better than this going forward. New Orleans (2-4) is coming off a [30-26](/nfl/game/_/gameId/401437783) loss to the Bengals, and Arizona (2-4) is off an ugly [19-9](/nfl/game/_/gameId/401437787) loss to the Seahawks and still looking for its first home win. They have been outscored 41-3 in the first quarter this season and have led for only 3% of their drives. In fact, 49% of their points this season have been scored in the fourth quarter. [New Orleans Saints](/nfl/team/_/name/no/new-orleans-saints) and [Arizona Cardinals](/nfl/team/_/name/ari/arizona-cardinals) (-1.5, 44.5) in Glendale, Arizona.

Now or never? Kingsbury says Cardinals have 'got to get better on ... (AZCentral.com)

Arizona Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury said "We've got to get better on offense," entering Thursday night's game against the New Orleans Saints.

Listen to him live on Fox Sports 910-AM every Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 on Calling All Sports with Roc and Manuch. “We’ve still got things we’ve got to get better at. … You keep working and make it better.” “I’m open to anything that helps us win and score more points,” he told reporters. It starts with one, so that’s the mindset right now.” He’s been a good coach for a long time. We’ve still got things we need to fix. Watching those young guys practice, the way they work together and grown each and every week has been fun to see. It’s been outscored 41-3 in the first quarter alone through six games. That was something his offense did with relative ease just a year ago when it averaged 31.2 points per game during a 10-2 start. If it weren’t for Arizona’s defensive effort, led by a core of veterans but especially a group of young, up-and-coming standouts, the Cardinals would be a lot worse than 2-4 entering If only the offensive wizard couldn’t say the same thing about his own offense, which has scored more than 21 points only twice this season.

Arizona Cardinals vs. New Orleans Saints best anytime TD scorer ... (Yardbarker)

The Arizona Cardinals and New Orleans Saints play each other tonight in prime time on Thursday Night Football. Jason Radowitz shares his best anytime TD ...

I'm ready to take a chance on one of the best receivers in the game to score a touchdown at plus-money odds. New Orleans Saints Anytime Touchdown Scorers Alvin Kamara Anytime Touchdown (+105) (Bet $100 to win $105) Alvin Kamara is starting to turn on the engines. James Conner Anytime Touchdown (+135) (Bet $100 to win $135) If James Conner is healthy, he'll get goalline carries for the Cardinals. If the Saints want to win, they'd be wise to find ways to get Kamara to score a touchdown. Every team has one, and they will wear them a minimum of two times and a maximum of eight times during the season. The NHL officially unveiled the reverse retro jerseys for every NHL team for the 2022-23 season, and there are some real winners in the group. "I was watching down the stretch when (Judge) was trying to get to that (62) number," Clemens carefully answered. It's a long season, and Paul has a history of wearing down, getting hurt or making baffling plays in the playoffs, so the more they can lean on a younger guard — especially a former NBA champion like Lee — the better. Lock in your BetMGM bonus code Lousiana today Sports bettors in the Louisiana sports betting market who claim the BetMGM bonus code Louisiana for tonight's Thursday Night Football matchup between the Arizona Cardinals and New Orleans Saints are set to make a killing. So in the case of tonight's matchup, you can claim the BetMGM bonus code Louisiana and bet $10 on the Saints or Cardinals to win. CP3 really was cheering on his teammates — it's just an unlucky clip — but this did signal that perhaps the Suns are going to lean more on their best player, 25-year-old Devin Booker, and less on their 37-year-old point guard. The main question looming for France is how it will replace its star midfielders, who played so well the team's run to the World Cup title in 2018.

They have to find a way to get out and get going early, or the Saints will make this a long night for the Cardinals. This is a realization that the Cardinals may just be a bad team that doesn’t have the ability to miss plays, make mistakes and allow opponents to get up early because they lack any ability to respond. As always, you can follow me on Twitter @ [TheNolaGirl](https://twitter.com/TheNolaGirl) and subscribe to my podcast [@FleursTrulyPod](https://twitter.com/FleursTrulyPod) The Saints are a talented team that is dealing with a litany of injuries.

Taysom Hill Presents Wrinkle Cardinals Must Iron Out On TNF (KSL Sports)

The Saints enter their Thursday Night Football matchup against the Cardinals with question marks surrounding their starting quarterback.

But a lot like most of his career, with the touchdowns came the interceptions. Keeping that run game in check will allow Arizona’s pass rush to go to work on either Winston or Dalton, the latter of whom has played the Cardinals the previous three seasons despite not being in the same division. “If it’s Andy or if it’s Jameis, it’s a run-first offense. The 1-2 punch of Kamara and Hill has been crucial in lifting up the team’s rushing attack. They’re also using him in a multitude of different ways to try to keep people off balance, to try and keep you guessing, to try and let you not know what’s going on. “He can do a lot of different things; he can do them very well.
