The Arizona Cardinals went to the Superbowl last year, but are still having a hard time selling out games.

With these recent turn of events one has to wonder if the Cardinals deserve their football team?

It would be one thing if the Cardinals were a terrible football team, but they are leading the NFC West with a 4-2 record.

Of the remaining 10 games seven of them are against teams with .500 records or worst.
Yeah, it is Arizona and there are probably a lot of other things to do.

However, the Cardinals have a great football teams with a quarterback that is going to soon be retired.

In the end the reality is that they do not deserve their teams as they are other cities that are in worst situations that still come out and support their team even though they maybe not winning.

The Green Bay Packers get a chance at redemption against the Minnesota Vikings as they suffered a loss to them earlier this year.

With the Vikings still clearly the better team can the Packers pull off the upset?

The Packers have one glaring weakness and that is their offensive line.

Fortunately, the Packers are at home in the confines of Lambeau Field, which means there will be no crowd noise to deal with.

With no crow noise Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers can use a hard snap count to mess up the Vikings and draw them offsides.

After a couple offsides penalties the Vikings defensive line will slow up their reaction time when the football is snapped to becareful not to get drawn offsides, which should give Rodgers an extra second to throw the football.

The defense will have the crowd on their side and that should mess up the Vikings communication.

In the end if the Packers cannot beat the Vikings at home they will not make the playoffs.

Pretty much every single Buffalo Bills fan wants current head cpach Dick Jauron fired.

However, there is a good possibility that he could actually keep his job.

Going into the season the Bills schedule looked tough.

As the season progresses it is starting to look more and more that the Bills schedule is pretty easy as teams that were goodast year look miserable this year.

The way things are shaping up the bills could go 7-9 again, or even improve on that mark.

The Bills fans will be fed that the teams’ problem was a young offensive line.

Everyone knows that the truth is that the quarterbacking stinks and so Dick Jauron as head coach.

In the end there is light at the end of the tunnel.

The New Orleans Saints currently is the team to beat as they are just good on every area.

However, there is one thing that can derail the Saints and that is injuries.

Right now the Saints have been lucky in thos area as they have not suffered any season ending injuries to starters.

However, as the season goes on sooner or later that will happen.

The key for the Saints is that it happens to only one or two players.

In the end if the Saints have a rash of injuries then they can forget abpout the Superbowl.

The Glazer family yesterday vehemently denied a report by WDAE’s Dan Sileo that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are for sale due to a $440 million loss in Berinie Madoff’s scam.

The question is now who is telling the truth and who is lying?

Sileo stated that his sources was a friend in the Security Exchange Commission.

The fact of the matter is that only a idiot would make up a lie involving the S.E.C.

Also, teams lie all the time when selling their team or trading a player as admitting so would cost the team as they would have less leverage, thus they would get less in return

WDAE has suspended Sileo pending an investigation.

In the end I do not doubt that Sileo will be proven right.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Percy Harvin earlier this year was hampered by migraines.

With Harvin yet again looking like he is again suffering from migraines one has to wonder if this will cut his career short?

The human brain is still a mystery to many scientists.

Depending on the severity of the migraine they can be disabling.

If Harvin were to suffer a couple of concussion then most likey the severity and the frequency of the migraines will be greater.

In the end if Harvin doesn’t get the triggers for his migraines under control his career is going to done before it even really got started.

The Atlanta Falcons have the dubious task of having to try and beat the undefeated New Orleans Saints.

With the Saints firing on all cylinders the question is can the Saints be stopped.

The Falcons go into this week beeing the obvious underdog as their defense is not as good as the offense.

So how can the Falcons stop the Saints offense?

First, they need to pressure on Saints quarterback Drew Brees to make a mistake.

Secondly, when blitzing make sure the coverage is tight at all times as even lining up far off receivers will hurt the Falcons.

The offense has a tough task as well as Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has them play spectacular.

Even with Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan looking like an elite level quarterback he still has to becareful as he is only in his sefond year and Williams is sure to throw coverages at him he never saw before.

In the end the Falcons are essentially looking at a David versus Goliath matchup, but can the Falcons slay Goliath?

The Buffalo Bills this Sunday fo up against the Houston Texans at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

With the Texans having a dangerous offense the offense will needs to come up big.

The Bills do have the advantage as their pass defense is solid, along with the wind xonditions being a problem this time of year.

However, the Texans will score points and the defense will not intercept the ball every game.

In the end if the Bills offense doesn’t find a eay to move the football it will be a long day for the Bills

The Houston Texans face the Buffalo Bills Sunday in a game that is big for both teams.

With the Texans strengths and weaknesses on offense Sunday’s game will not be a piece of cake.

The Texans strength on offense is their passing game as their weakness is the running game.

The Bills strength on defense is their pass dfense as it is one of the best in the league as it is ranked third.

Also, the wind can be a real problen at Ralph Wilson Stadium as it goes west to east as that is the way the wind blows normally.

In the end the only way the Texans win is they find their running game and the defense plays great.
