Stephen Nover's Preseason Game of the Week
(NFL) Chicago vs. Arizona,
Point Spread: -2.50 | -120.00 Arizona (Home)
Result: Loss
Not only are the Cardinals the much better team, but they are home and have the advantage of having already played two preseason games while the Bears have only been in action once.

Arizona is giving up an average of just 15 points in its two games. The Bears' defense isn't nearly as good.

Cardinals quarterbacks Carson Palmer, Drew Stanton and Blaine Gabbert can take advantage of a vulnerable Chicago secondary. Gabbert played well in Arizona's first preseason game versus Dallas. Stanton looked the best he's ever looked with the Cardinals last week against the Raiders.

By contrast, Mike Glennon looked horrible for the Bears. While Palmer and Stanton know their team's system, Glennon is rusty and has yet to get comfortable with the Bears. Backup rookie quarterback Mitch Trubisky played great in the Bears' 24-17 home loss to the Broncos last week.

Trubisky caught the Broncos by surprise since they had no film on him. The Cardinals have an idea about Trubisky now. So I'm not expecting Trubisky to perform nearly as well on the road against an aggressive Cardinals defense.
