Here's my thoughts of how the Cards end up the remaining of the season:
@Broncos- L As much as I want to say win on this one, its hard to know what to expect. I hope I am so wrong, but want the realization of going to Denver is tough. I see it as 2 ways, we get blown out or we win by 3 or less.
Redskins- W- Unless we do something really stupid, this should be our first blowout win. Win by 20.
@Raiders- W- Well its the Raiders... Win by million or so..
Eagles- W- Was concerned about this one before the season started and when they went 3-0, but when SF shut down the Eagle offense it changed my mind bc I believe our D is better than the Whiners. Win by 7.
@Cowboys- W- I am going out on a limb here, even though its in Dallas and Dallas is finally looking like a team, I think we can shut down Murray enough to where Romo makes the typical Romo mistakes. Murray has definitely helped the passing game by getting huge runs. Our D will step it up and we will find a way to win (or Romo will find a way to lose). Win by 3.
Rams- W- Do the Rams still have a team?? 17 point win here
Lions- W- Another tough one here. Being at home is a huge advantage and for some reason, we seem to always play so good against the Lions (especially at U of P Stadium). Calvin Johnson has been a non factor this year and the question is is there something wrong with his knees. Win by 4.
@Seahawks- L- This next little stretch gets tricky. 2 tough road games in a row and first stop is in Seattle, where they have the fake noise in the stadium. Plus, being late November it will be a pretty chilly. I know we went in there last year and pulled off the miracle, it will be a serious challenge this year. Hope we can go in there and make it happen. Lose by 10
@Falcons- L- I know Atlanta just got beat by the Vikings, but the Vikings are not skipping a beat without AP. Bridgewater, Asaita, McKinnon, Patterson, etc.. That offense is going to put up some serious numbers. Anyhow, going to be a tough task going into Atlanta right after a road trip to Seattle. Falcons play superb at home and I can see this one being a shoot out and come down to a fg late. Hope its Catman and not Braynt for the win.
Chiefs- W- Yes, they blew out the Patriots last night, but its not the same NE team we are all used to. We stop Charles, we stop the offense. With our D, he can be stopped. Again, home game for us and we beat the Chiefs by 10.
@Rams- W- Maybe they have a team by this time, but it will not be a team that will beat us, even though we struggle in St Louie. We win this one by 13.
Seahawks- W- Here we go with final 2. Both our nemesises. We are at home and we find a way to pull it off. Mid 20's game 27-24 Cards
49ers- L- The Eagles game gave these guys life. Last thing we wanted to see. Going to SF hasn't been easy, hell playing SF hasn't been easy. 2 wins of last 11 is not a good percentage, but felt good to get the win in week 3. I think this game ends just like last years loss on our final game with a game winning kick, but it will not matter at this point because we would already clinch a playoff spot (hopefully it will be just the reverse of last years final game). Lose by 2.
So my final optimistic record would be 12-4 and could be 11-5 or 10-6 with a game or 2 that we gave away. I hope I what I've predicted is accurate and we keep playing up to our potential. I have all the confidence in BA, SK and TB to keep this winning going.
Some may think that I am being a Homer, but I think we have a great chance of a 10-6, 11-5 or 12-4 record.
