Since one hasn't been started yet...

This game will be a shootout, the Giants will have moderate success running but the Cardinals scoring will force the Giants to keep up through the air. The edge goes to the Giants defense which is better and deeper than ours and the Cardinals suffer their only home loss all season.

Giants 31
Cardinals 27

Cards 17, Giants 27.

Kurt plays like crap due to heavy pressure from the Giants and our defense can't slow down their running game.

Literally no outcome could surprise me in this game. I could see winning or losing either a close game or a blowout. It's an enigma.

I agree with this assesement. We could see the 'Jets game Cards' or the 'Miami game Cards' or the 'Cleveland game Giants' or the ' Raven game Giants' or any combination of the above.

That being said, since I'm coming to the game...Cards 27 Gints 17.

Perfect weekend in store, golf Sat at Raven, Dinner Ruth Chris, watch Texas Tech-Ok sat night and then Cards win on Sun

:koolaid:

If we were playing in NYC I would predict a blowout. They just play to much mistake free great pass rush football. A pass rush that is going to really show just how bad Lutui and Levi are IMO.

But never underestimate a team having to travel from the east coast to the west coast or vice versa. There is always some sort of let down from the traveling team.

So instead of a blowout it is only our penalties that keep us from getting the win in a heartbreaker.

Cards 20

Really good discussion on Sando's blog about this and the game seems to be generating alot of interest. Heres what I wrote...

I like the Cardinals to show well but ultimately lose. I would say at one point the Cards will even have a 7-10 pt lead before succumbing to there will in the 4th quarter and running out of emotion. I think Kurt played his second worst game of the season last week but I was worried going into Seattle with the atmosphere and conditions that it could be worse so they key is he played well enough to win.

And he can do the same on Sunday and will have two big advantages:

1) He is at home in the dome where he has been close to flawless.
Conditions are not a consideration.

2) He should have sufficient motivation with them being World Champs, his former team, and the coach and QB that sent him packing being on the other side line.

The scary thing is that they mentioned last week during the SEA game how Kurt had said the teams that give him the most trouble are the ones that get rush with 4 guys and drop seven in coverage. Uh oh. Wiz/Haley against Spagnulo will be they key maytch up IMO.
I say we hang tough and maybe even have a lead late but ultimately lose because we can't close them out by running the ball or stopping the run.

My guess is 31 - 27 G-men.

Now if the rumors of Jacobs AND Ross sitting out that could be a whole new game. Although I think Ward is the back that will have the good day even if all 3 of them play.

Consider this though my friends. If we win this game we would be in line to get a top 2 seed and maybe even #1 and homefield throughout.

I cannot believe I just typed that sentence.

Quick somebody submit a Mock Top 10 draft for next year so I feel normal again:D

Isn't this sort of a "no s***, Sherlock" statement? Of course teams that get pressure with 4 and drop the rest into coverage are going to be hard to pass on. The opposite is true, too. Teams that blitz 8 and can't get pressure are the easiest to pass on.

Yeah it is a no brainer - but the fact that Kurt mentioned that as his "kryptonite" means that it is already in the back of his mind.
