5 – Arizona (4-3) at St. Louis (2-5)

This will be a great NFC West game, the first of two within five weeks time, that could decide the winner from the West.  True the Rams have been horrible to start the season but if you look division, it’s still any one’s for the taking.  Mark Bulger has been a huge disappointment this year, as has Steven Jackson who again is injured and his status is uncertain for Sunday’s game.  But Bulger has the chance to exploit a weak Cardinals secondary and use the speed of high rising receiver Donnie Avery, plus the veteran Torry Holt still has a few tricks left in his bag.  Yes, his speed’s diminished over the last few years, but he can still catch and run, and break a few open.  For the Cardinals it’s Kurt Warner and company on offense going up against a weak Rams defense.  Warner has targets galore to utilize with Larry Fitgerald and Anquan Boldin at his disposal.  Toss in rookie Tim Hightower in the back field, the veteran Edgerrin James knowledge of the game.  And we have a potential for a a high scoring game.  Neither team’s defense will be spectacular, yes they’ll apply pressure and record a few sacks.  But this game should be mainly played in the air with both throwers able to air it out at will.  The team that capitalizes and burns the others coverage will take this meeting.  For “Zona” a win keeps them on top of the West, a Rams win pulls them closer to to the top and applies more pressure on “Zona”.  Look for a shootout, if you have the chance to watch this game, you better, it’s sure to be a high paced let’s burn it to the max offense minded game.  ARIZONA 34-24 … [visit site to read more]
