As previously stated, it should be a high-scoring game. Both teams may have sub-.500 teams but they are both playoff-caliber teams that have run into issues for one reason or another this season.

Look for a game much like the type of game we saw a couple of weeks ago against the Washington Redskins. Both teams can play defense when they want to but in this environment, look for a lot of scoring.

With the Cardinals playing their last home game of the season, I would expect a loud crowd despite the playoffs not being on the line. Don’t expect either team to go down without a fight. From a Cardinals perspective, at least they haven’t thrown in the towel. They will keep fighting.

This game will go to the Cardinals. Cardinals 34 Saints 31
