Carson Palmer will throw for three touchdowns

One way of getting back into the groove is throwing touchdowns.  Palmer should be able to do just that despite a tough Jets defense.

The Cardinals offense needs to wake up and get things rolling.  That means Palmer throwing the ball well and his receivers catching the ball.  Hopefully receiver Michael Floyd is paying attention.

Don’t be surprised if Johnson hauls in one of the three touchdown passes Palmer will throw on Monday night.  However also don’t be surprised despite his struggles, if Floyd gets things going and catches a touchdown as well.

Palmer, even before injury, really hasn’t been himself.  This is a good time to do so in front of a national television audience.  The next two weeks really give Palmer a good shot to show people last year wasn’t an aberration.
