Does this mean you guys will end all of this "Nobody respects the Cards" stuff, now?

No, for 90% still dont give this team props and continue to use the regular season as justification.

Screw em... I hope they continue to pick the Steelers, for they have not been right on a single prediction thus far in the post season.

Jim Rome has been very good about giving the Cards respect after they proved him wrong earlier in the playoffs

He may be an unknown NFL player, but Patriots' FB Heath Evans is going with the Cards to win.

A Patriotic Perspective: It's Arizona's Game

Evans and the Pats faced both teams this year, and regardless of the outcome of the two games he still picked the Cards. What makes this more interesting is the fact that Ptriots players are well known for being schooled to give their opponents no locker room bulletin board material, yet Evans made these comments even though the patriots play the Steelers nearly every year - often in the playoffs - and face the Cards just once every four years.

In the end, Evans — a self-described “AFC diehard” — was impressed enough by Arizona’s performance against Philadelphia to say that the Cardinals have enough to pull the upset Sunday in Tampa.

“That Philly defense has frustrated me more often than not, and to see the Arizona be able to see them handle the schemes and blitzes, that was impressive. I really doubted they would do that,” Evans said. “It always goes back to … you have a hard time believing that they are in the Super Bowl, but they are, and they earned the right. If I was a betting man, I would go with Arizona.”

I think it's amazing that iof we would have been 10-6 instead of 9-7 most would have called us a good team from the get go. We are on a 4 game winning streak up against good competition. All the talking heads that pick against us, are not going to be braggiong come Sunday night.

It's already been a miraculous season. ...and He does seem to have a thing for under-dogs.

John Elway, after living a full life, died. When he got to heaven, God was showing him around. They came to a modest little house with a faded Broncos flag in the window.

"This house is yours for eternity, John" said God. "You are blessed, indeed. Only a very select few gets a house here."

John felt special, indeed, and walked up to his house. On his way up the porch, he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a 3-story mansion with a Black and Gold sidewalk, a 50 foot tall flagpole with an enormous Steeler logo flag, and in every window, a Terrible towel.

John looked at God and said

"God, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question. I was an all-pro QB, I won 2 Super Bowls, and I even went to the Hall of Fame."

God said "So what's your point John?"

"Well, why does Ben Roethlisberger get a better house than me?"

God chuckled, and said "John, that's not Ben's house, it's mine."

Mike Lombardi of The National Football Post and former OAK GM, was very complimentary on Bill Simmons' podcast this week.

He thinks Steve Breaston and the return game (defending KR/PR is a PIT weakness) is the a key to the game.

I'm tired of all this trashing the Cards.

Nobody respects the Cards, nobody.

Who did we play last night?

 

[NeverSayDieFan]

GOOD ONE, Lukesdad...

From what I'm reading, it seems like alot of players on BOTH teams are sharing their Faith this week.

 

[HooverDam]

Sal Palintonio picked the Cards on MSNBCs Morning Joe and said the Cards offense will have a lot of mismatches with the Steelers defense.

 

[Catfish]

Heard Faith Hill say on an interview that she is pulling for the Cardinals --- She is singing America the beautiful at the game.

 

[ANDY440]

Yea he's a local guy but Jude LaCava says he can see the Cards winning by 10 points.

 

[Longcolts]

Mark Schlereth (sp?) from ESPN and also, if you can believe this, Rod Woodson thinks the Cards can win this.

 

[CardinalLaw]

Brandon Lang picked us. He's picked all the last 18 superbowls correctly. Two For The Money guy.

 

[Osbern61]

Philadelphia Daily News sports columnist Marcus Hayes picked the Cards to win 28-13. This is encouraging, because he practically nailed the Cards-Eagles game, predicting a 31-24 final.
