After a dismal Week 1, Carson Palmer has thrown for at least 325 yards and 1 touchdown in each of his last three games. While that's great, Palmer has also been pummeled by opposing defenses due to a poor offensive line. Over the past three games, the veteran signal caller has been sacked 13 times while taking 30 quarterback hits, both league highs. Under pressure, Palmer has thrown a pick in two out of the three games.

Further complicating matters for Palmer in Week 5 is the fact that the Cardinals will be flying across the country for a 1:00 ET start time. They're taking on an Eagles defense that has posted multiple sacks in three out of four games and has managed multiple turnovers in two of those games. On the season, the Cardinals have been generous to opposing defenses, giving up the 7th-most points to opposing defenses.

Vegas has the Eagles listed as a 6.5-point favorite this week, the 2nd-largest spread of the week. Although the Eagles have not been a top-12 option since Week 1, they're a mid-priced play with a high ceiling.
