The Arizona Cardinals look to get themselves into the win column on Sunday. They host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at University of Phoenix Stadium.

The Cardinals lost last week at home to the New England Patriots 23-21. The Buccaneers come into town with the hopes of starting 2-0. They defeated the Atlanta Falcons last week 31-24 in Atlanta.

While not a “must-win”, the Cardinals really do need a win on Sunday afternoon. Some panic has already set in amongst Cardinals fans. Not everyone is in panic mode but as general manager Steve Keim put it last Monday, the day after the loss, it was “the sky is falling Monday”.

Hopefully that attitude got the Cardinals attention. Tampa is not going to be any kind of push over. They have an up and coming quarterback in Jameis Winston. Their defense can hold their own at times.

All that being said, the Cardinals need to be 1-1 by the end of the day. This week hopefully it does not come down to a field-goal attempt to win the game. Here are five bold predictions for the game.
