Arizona
Every year i look at teams that opicked up missing parts and I always eyed up Arizona three years ago and said this team is stacked. The last 2 off seasons they were graded an A+ by Phil Steeles in there draft. This year once again ilooked at there pick ups and veterans and said this team is stacked. They had no chemistry in the beginning of the year. But i believe they are clicking in all cyclinders right now. I dont see Philly putting pressure on Kurt warner all day. I see Kurt having descent success with the passing. The key to me is the Arizona run. If Arizona can get at least 95 rushing yards I see the Cardinals winning bye 3. If they put up over 110 yards i see them winning by 6 or more. If Philly can hold them under 75 rushing yards i see the Eagles winning by -3 if they hold them to under 75 rushing yards and causes Kurt to 2 turnovers. I have the eagles winning by7+.
Steelers.
This is an easy game for me. I see if Ben doesnt loose any fumbles and doesnt throw more than 1 INT. Then I see the steelers winning by 7. If they can do this and run for 100 plus rushing yards then i see this game by 10 pts. If Ravens can cause 3 or more turnovers and rush for 100 yrds i see the ravens winnin by 6. Which i dont see this happening. Ben will take care of business. He will not loose the ball. He will be carefull to throw near Ed Reed. Steelers will use all three backs to establish the run. This will be a hard hitting first half but i see it opening up in the second hf. I see Flacco finaly feeling the pressure and maybe crack second half. remember alot of defensive players is feeling it on Ravens. expect for them to feel the wear and tare in the second hf.
My prediction of scores: Arizona 28-23 Philly
Pittsburgh23-16 Baltimore
Add to this picture that McNabb is playing well and (in my opinion) plays better when he is on the road and I think philly takes it. (As a disclaimer, I grew up near philly so I am a homer ... but rest assured that I have faded them many times).
