I am worried loss #3 is coming on Sunday. It finally feels like this team broke thru, so it would be a very Cardinal thing do to take a step back...on a national stage.
They are beat up from the Seattle game, it is a non-division, non-Conference opponent, which means this loss hurts less than other losses.
I fully accept that I am suffering from battered fan syndrome and there is no reason to think this team will regress right now. I realize Bengal fans are probably feeling the same as me right now.
One of us will be proven right on Sunday. Feel free to talk me off the edge. I will be driving home to NM on Sunday. It is a 10 hour drive, so I will be racing to get there by kickoff.
I expect a Cardinals loss, or they will win by 40. Equal likelihood, IMO. I don't think this will be a hard-fought victory for them either way.
