It's still early but I like the Cards and the points. Cards are playing extreemly well and I don't think PIT can stop all their offensive weapons. Fitz is a freak and looks unstoppable. Ask me again who I like in 2 weeks though

Look at Pittsburgh's losses this season and look how they lost. Look at Arizona's secondary, they were torched again today and should have been torched worse. They can't get the pressure upfront needed to force Ben into the turnovers needed to beat Pittsburgh.

This is EXACTLY like San Diego/Pittsburgh all over again. An offense overshadowing the fact that their defense is not good. And we all know what happened in that game.

lets put that in historical context....the blowouts have been far and few in between during the last ten years or so...the genral parity in the league has caught up to the Super Bowl contest as well....how many underdogs have won out right in last decade...Pats over Rams, NYG over Pats last year

 

ur stats are misleading and for you to say spread doesnt matter here is a little skewed

But they are down some talent with Ward hurt. Need more info.

They should still have their way on offense, but don't overlook Tomlin's willingness to let his defense win games, they tend to stay close.

Pitt can be thrown on somewhat, I think I'm just gonna slam the over hard in this one.

People laying heavy wood agianst the RAMS are just LAMBS to the slaughter.  The opening line is a joke, and Vegas is begging to get pounded again like they did last year.  Un-freaking-believable.

But that San Diego game was played in Pittsburgh and SD had no running game. I feel better about Warner Fitz and a healthy Bolden in Tampa. Well when I say I feel good, I mean they have a chance.

Arizona has intangibles on its side that SD did not, namely: (1) the chip of disrespect on shoulder and (2) huge momentum

How can you post this above, w/ all due respect the times have changed.....that does not hold as true today as it did 10-15 years ago....offenses have come a long way.......... and then bring up those two examples when what happened in those two games? A great defense beat a great offense and won the game.

Are you saying a 4-8 team that had been written off and had won 5 in a row didn't have momentum or a chip on their shoulder?

You're right 3rd and Long. Tomlin keeps games close. Balty looked like a cover until Troy stepped in.

Pitt could be up 13-14 points and Warner gets a TD at the end.

Might be a no play for me. Just relax and enjoy the game.

Also Pittsburgh in my opinion has the worst offense the Cardinals will face this postseason especially if Pitt is without Ward.   Arizona should be able to get off the edges and force Big Ben into a turnover or two...I'm leaning Arizona +7 right now the more I think about it, but I'd wait to see if heavy Pitt money comes in and I can get it at 7.5.  Does anyone thing this number will go up?

I completely disagree with you that there is anything "great" about Pittsburgh team...period....the only thing "great" in this game is the Arizona offense

They did the week before, you don't think Pittsburgh's defense had anything to do with it did you? funny, I seem to recall them completely shutting down another run game.......oh....today?
