Analysis:
Arizona and Chicago both played in high-scoring games last week, and we expect a similar outcome in this game. The Cardinals beat the Saints 31-19 after racking up 307 yards thru the air. Arizona’s first team offense under Carson Palmer was exceptional in the preseason, and that carried over into Week 1. Palmer threw 3 touchdown passes against the Saints while averaging 9.8 yards per pass attempt overall. Lead running back Andre Ellington got hurt last week, and he will miss this game. That means Arizona will be throwing the ball a lot more, and that’s not a bad thing, especially against a Chicago defense that gave up 78.3% completions on 8.2 yards per pass attempt to Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers last week. The Bears gave up 31 points in that game, and dating back to last season, Chicago has now allowed 119 total points in their last four home games.
Chicago’s offense played extremely well last week, and they will have success once again in this game on the Arizona defense. The Bears scored 23 points on 402 yards of total offense despite quarterback Jay Cutler having a mediocre game. He completed just 50% (18-36) of his passes while only averaging 6.3 yards per pass attempt. Chicago’s running game was fantastic as they gouged the Packers for 189 yards on the ground while averaging a whopping 5.7 yards per rush. Arizona’s defense was stout last season, but they’ve lost some guys and the unit will regress in 2015. The Cardinals’ defensive line is the biggest concern as that group is a collection of castoffs and draft picks. They held the Saints in check on the ground last week, but New Orleans has a terrible rushing attack. Chicago’s ability to run the ball will expose the Cardinals’ defense because it will open up big passing plays down the field for Cutler. Both offenses will be the best units on the field, so we expect a high-scoring game between the Cardinals and Bears on Sunday afternoon.
