None of the experts picked the Cards (No shock) and the Madden Sim has it being an ugly game..

Seahawks offense back on track
The Seahawks offense, which struggled against Detroit last week, got on track in a big way against Arizona, as the defending NFC champs racked up four touchdowns in the first half. Shaun Alexander, held without a touchdown last week, scored twice in the opening 30 minutes and ended the day with 141 yards rushing on just 19 carries. Matt Hasselbeck added two more touchdowns in the first half, one to Darrell Jackson and one to Ituli Mili, and he got Alexander back into the end zone in the second half on a nine-yard touchdown strike to leave no doubt as to the outcome.

Arizona's offense racked up close to 400 total yards but only got in the end zone twice. Kurt Warner's touchdown throw to Larry Fitzgerald early in the second quarter cut Seattle's lead to 14-7, but that would be as close as the Cards would get. Edgerrin James had 74 yards rushing and a touchdown, but Arizona had to rely on kicker Neil Rackers (three field goals) too much to win this game.

And last week, Detroit beat Seattle 27-24, Arizona beat San Francisco 26-0, and Kansas City beat Cincinnati 33-3.

Against the spread last week, Madden went 8-7-1. As for properly predicting blowouts (wins by 14 or more): it was 2-2. On predicting blowouts that just didn't happen: 2-6.

Go ahead, Madden 07, predict a blowout. It seems to mean the other team could very well win outright.

IMO my youngest grandchild can pick as well pointing to a team as all the experts put together. That is why they play the game.

About the same odds as flipping a coin. No surprise there.
