Week 15: New Orleans Saints 2:05 p.m. FOX

These two teams have gotten to know each other pretty well.  The Saints did come to Arizona in last year’s season opener and lost 31-19.  The Saints have lost both games they’ve played at University of Phoenix Stadium and the last three in Arizona overall.

The Saints offense may look a little different without receiver Marques Colston.  They will still have quarterback Drew Brees though.

The good news: These aren’t the Saints of 2009, 2010.  Those Saints were dangerous home and away.  Brees is at the very tail end of his career.  This might be the last time the Cardinals will have to face him.

The bad news: This could be the one game at home that bites them.  The Saints can still put points on the board.  Their defense is nothing to write home about, so there is that.

Prediction: Although I can see the Saints sneaking out of University of Phoenix Stadium with a win, I’m going to say the Cardinals will take care of business and finish at home 8-0.  That is something that has alluded the Cardinals the past couple of seasons finishing 6-2 and 7-1 at home over the past couple of seasons.
