NFL Week 8, 2019: 5 Teams on upset alert
By Dan Parzych
1. New Orleans Saints
What the New Orleans Saints have been able to accomplish since Week 2 has been truly amazing to witness, and while Sean Payton’s team seems like they should be able to get by the Arizona Cardinals at home with ease, this could turn out to be a tougher challenge.
Based on the first month of regular season action, the Cardinals seemed like they would be heading towards a year of rebuilding while Kyler Murray adjusted to playing in the NFL.
Over the last three games, Murray has made it clear that his progress is moving quicker than expected, and even though the rookie still has plenty of areas in need of improvement, Arizona still has plenty of reasons to be thrilled over his progress.
The Saints will rightfully enter this game as heavy favorites, but the last thing New Orleans can afford is to sleep on this Arizona team playing with all sorts of confidence after winning each of their last three games.

If the Cardinals really wanted to make a statement about having what it takes to compete with the best of teams, and show they’re way ahead of the rebuilding schedule, a win over the Saints would certainly do the trick.
