The Cardinals will win

The Cardinals should be able to come away with the victory on Sunday.  Take away all the injuries and all the issues the Cardinals have had scoring early.  They simply are the better team on paper and on the field.

How quickly the fortunes have changed for both teams.  Just four years ago it was completely turned around.  The Cardinals have stumped through the first half of their season though.

Now is time for a fresh start.  They have fresh legs and renewed energy.  There are no excuses if the Cardinals can’t come out and dominate the 49ers on Sunday.

If the Cardinals can’t defeat the 49ers Sunday afternoon, then there is no need to worry how the remaining seven weeks will transpire.  You can forget any postseason talk even though they still wouldn’t be close to being mathematically eliminated from contention.

So on Sunday afternoon, look for the Cardinals to pull out a 37-14 victory.  A win puts the Cardinals a 4-4-1 heading out on a difficult road in Minnesota and Atlanta over the next two weeks.
