Baltimore can run but they can’t pass. They are first in rushing offense and dead last in heaving the pigskin. Luckily for the Cardinals, they know what’s coming and can prepare. And they have a shot at containing Jamal Lewis as they have kept opposing running backs in check (allowing less than 100 yards per game on the ground). Outside of the Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore has played some really bad teams. Their three other opponents’ combined record is just 4-11. Arizona is without Emmitt Smith but that may not be a bad thing as he has really struggled this year. His backup, Marcel Shipp, was the starter last year and gained over 800 yards. Arizona qualifies for a trend involving passing yards that is 13-1 over the past three years. Arizona should cover and might pull the upset. Take ‘em to win outright.
