photo courtesy of azcardinals.comI’m going to make this short and to the point. The Cardinals have to win this New Orleans Saints game obviously. There’s no moral victories here, just win and your still alive or lose and the seasons over. So many Cardinal fans are content with just being in the playoff hunt. If the Cardinals miss the playoffs this season it will go down as a disappointment. There’s no such thing as a good season when your team doesn’t make the playoffs. So lets not get the Cardinal fan attitude and be happy with an 8-8 record. I want Arizona 9-7 and in the playoffs, anything less is a bad year.

I’m not a professional coach by any means, but I do know in this game Arizona has to throw the ball a lot to Larry Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald is one of the best deep ball/jump ball threat in the NFL. The man that will be defending Fitz in the Saints game is Jason David. David leads the league in touchdowns given up. All this guy does is allow deep touchdowns and I expect more given up in this Sundays game. So the game plan on offense is throw the ball 75 times to Fitzgerald or whoever Jason David is matched up against and hopefully a few touchdowns will come out of it. If Whisenhunt doesn’t throw at this guy, I’m going to lose my mind.

For my prediction everything inside me says the Cardinals are going to lose this game. Since that’s the case I’m going to pick a bias 27-24 Cardinals victory keeping the season alive.
