The Arizona Cardinals are off to a 4-1 start, and have topped the 40-point mark three times already. A lot of credit has to go to an under-the-radar offense led by Carson Palmer. Palmer enters with a lofty 114 passer rating, and has his team averaging 38 points per game. The Arizona defense will miss Alex Okafor this week, and that is a game changer. Okafor led the team in sacks last season, and has been strong at bringing pressure from the edge. Michael Vick has been good in the sense that he is managing the game, and not making a lot of turnovers, which is often the thing that has haunted him in the past. With less pressure in the absence of Okafor, the Steelers offense should be able to score some points. The Cardinals have played six straight to the OVER and Pittsburgh is 18-7-1 to the OVER in their last 26 at home vs. a team with a winning road record. Take the OVER.
