Buffalo Bills vs. Arizona Cardinals
This should be a good football game as the surprising 4-0 Bills head to Arizona to face a Cardinals team that has won 7 of their last 9 home games. Despite seeing Brett Favre throw six TD passes against the Cardinals last week look for the Bills to remain balanced on offense. Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson will likely try to set the tone early with the running game. If they can establish the running game then look for Trent Edwards to attack the Cards’ defense down the field as long as he has time to throw the ball as he has been sacked 11 times already this season and the Cardinals have 10 sacks. Lee Evans is averaging 23.7 yards per catch this season so the Cards will likely double him and make Edwards beat them through the air with someone else.
The Cardinals also must remain somewhat balanced or the Bills will turn the dogs loose on the pass rush as Kurt Warner has already been sacked 12 times this season and the Bills have 10 sacks. When Warner has pressure in his face he sometimes panics as was proven last week when he turned the ball over often. The Cardinals should get Edgerrin James and rookie RB Tim Hightower the ball often on the ground early in the game to loosen up the Bills’ defense. Warner has thrown for 1,222 yards this season already so look for him to get the football to Larry Fitzgerald and Steve Breaston often this week.
PREDICTION: ARIZONA CARDINALS 27, BUFFALO BILLS 23
