Week 15 prediction

I fully expect the Arizona Cardinals to bulldoze and demolish the Detroit Lions. The Cardinals have often followed what many consider a statement win with a humbling loss. The Cardinals have often followed that humbling loss with a huge win.

Week 6 of 2008. The Cardinals pull off an amazing victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Nobody saw it coming and Troy Aikman was soooooooooooooo annoying commentating for that game. They had a bye in Week 7 and lost to the Carolina Panthers in Week 8. Everyone expected the Panthers to win, but it was still humbling.

Week 7 of 2009. The Cardinals beat up on the New York Giants. They come home and get spanked by the Carolina Panthers the next week. They follow that with a beatdown of the Chicago Bears in Soldier Field.

Week 13 of 2009. The Cardinals steamroll the Minnesota Vikings. They head to San Fran the next week and fumble away the game. Those balls had to be slick as snot. The Cardinals did show that they are a better football team than the 49ers. If you only lose by 15 after committing seven turnovers, you are the better football team. You just had an extraordinarily bad game.

The Cardinals are still the team to beat in the NFC. They're going to host a first round playoff game. The second round of the playoffs will be in a dome. As will the NFC Championship game. The Cardinals have shown they are an elite team when they need to be.

Anyway...
