23-10 YTD, Week 5 **HUGE BETS**

The Bills are making their third long road trip in four weeks. They are a carpet team playing on grass. They have not faced a good passing team yet.

Buffalo is improved. However, the Bills' schedule has laid out extremely well up to this point.

The Bills hosted a crippled Seattle squad opening week when the Seahawks weren't ready.

Buffalo then drew Jacksonville, which was struggling with a cluster injury problem in its offensive line.

Buffalo barely nipped Oakland, winning by one point at home. Then last week the Bills beat maybe the worst team in the NFL, the St. Louis Rams. So the Bills' 4-0 mark isn't as strong as it may look.

The Cardinals return home after being out East for two straight weeks. They are anxious to put the embarrassement of last Sunday's loss to the New York Jets behind them. The Bills last played in Arizona in 1999.

Despite a boatload of turnovers against the Jets, Arizona quarterback Kurt Warner is having a strong season ranking third in passing yards and fifth in quarterback ratings.

The Bills are limping into their bye, which comes up next week. In addition to probably missing McGee, they will be without Roscoe Parrish. These losses hurt their vaunted special teams.

Buffalo's two best defensive lineman, Marcus Stroud and Aaron Schobel, also are banged-up.

Arizona should be able to put up at least 21 points at home against the Bills. The Cardinals are 10-5 when scoring 21 or more points. They are 7-2 at home under Ken Whisenhunt, winning their past four at home.

Any other questions?
