Detroit heads to Glendale laying 8.5 after starting 0-2 ATS, while Arizona has already been held to seven points once. The biggest tension is Detroit's explosive passing game against a Cardinals secondary carrying multiple injury concerns.

Injury Report
Detroit's secondary remains the biggest health variable: Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph are on PUP and first become eligible to return in Week 5, while Avonte Maddox is out for the season. Ben Bartch and Thomas Harper are out for Week 3. Arizona placed corner Will Johnson on injured reserve, while Max Melton is questionable with a toe issue and Dadrion Taylor-Demerson is out this week with a back injury. Those absences raise passing-game volatility.
Key Players
Key Matchup Edge
Detroit's cleanest edge is its high-efficiency passing game against an Arizona secondary already missing Will Johnson and managing other defensive-back injuries. Jared Goff has six touchdowns without an interception, while Amon-Ra St. Brown has scored four times. If protection holds, Detroit can stress Arizona underneath and vertically before the Cardinals' pass rush controls the down.
3 Things to Watch
- Arizona's battered secondary rotation
- Detroit protection against Josh Sweat
- McBride targets against thin safeties
Betting Breakdown
Detroit enters this Week 5 road matchup as an 8.5-point favorite with the total at 48.5, but the early-season profile is more complicated than the spread suggests. The Lions are 1-1 straight up and 0-2 ATS, pairing a top-four scoring offense through two games with a defense that has allowed 35.5 points per game. Jared Goff has thrown six touchdowns without an interception, and Amon-Ra St. Brown has 209 yards and four scores, giving Detroit a direct path to exploit Arizona's thinned secondary. Arizona is also 1-1, but its offense has produced only 16.5 points and 272 yards per game while going under in both contests. The Cardinals' best counter is Trey McBride, who has 17 catches and two touchdowns and draws a Detroit defense that has been vulnerable through the air. Detroit's 0-2 ATS start and Arizona's home underdog role keep the number from being automatic, while the secondary injuries on both sides create late-game volatility.
Detroit Betting Outlook
Detroit's offense has looked far more trustworthy than its defensive side. Goff is completing 67.5 percent of his passes for 533 yards, six touchdowns and no interceptions, while St. Brown has already reached four receiving scores. Jahmyr Gibbs adds 208 rushing yards and 91 receiving yards, keeping the Lions balanced when defenses sell out against the pass. The betting concern is the 0-2 ATS start: Detroit failed to cover both as a 7.5-point home favorite and a 4.5-point road underdog. Laying more than a touchdown in Arizona therefore requires the offense to create separation and the defense to avoid another high-volume passing day.
Arizona Betting Outlook
Arizona's 1-1 record masks a sizable offensive swing: the Cardinals scored 26 in their opener, then managed seven against Seattle. Jacoby Brissett has thrown for 372 yards with two touchdowns and one interception, while McBride remains the most stable target with 17 receptions for 136 yards and two scores. Arizona is 1-1 ATS and 0-2 to the total, and its Week 1 cover came as a 9.5-point road underdog. The home path is to shorten the game, keep Brissett out of obvious passing downs, and feed McBride against Detroit's depleted safety group. The risk is Arizona's injured secondary facing a Detroit offense already averaging 31 points per game.
