No question whatsoever the Cardinals have been a pleasant surprise and could easily be 2-0 if not for the opening Sunday meltdown in Buffalo. They have the right pieces in place to be playing exciting and yes, relevant games late into the season. Time will tell if Murray can actually stay healthy and on the field. I’m skeptical. But what we are concerned about of course right now is the present and this Sunday. Frankly I’d have liked the Cardinals chances better had the Lions taken care of business last week against Tampa. The Lions are not going to be in a good frame of mind off thst loss and Campbell being in their grill all week in practice. On the flip side we have a Cardinals team feeling their oats after a rare beat down of their nemesis the Rams. Two polar opposite mind sets. I’m sure a lot will be all excited about the Cardinals here as a home dog. I don’t see it that way. The Lions are a legitimate super bowl contender. Classic case of what have you seen recently. Oldest booby trap in sports wagering. The true value here lay with the better team laying the small number. Unless plagued by turnovers Detroit bounces back to form here and restores some order.
Good luck this week guys. Enjoy your weekend. Steve
