The big news in this matchup is that the Cardinals may face the Colts without their starting quarterback Andrew Luck.  He missed all of training camp and the preseason.

Luck was brought off of the PUP list this past weekend but is still at least a couple of weeks away from resuming football.  He is already ruled out in week one and although not ruled out officially for week two against the Cardinals yet, it is believed he will need a couple of weeks to prepare for returning.

The Cardinals should be able to get to quarterback Scott Tolzien with a Colts offensive line that has struggled for a long time.  We should also be able to see Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer be able to move the ball on the Colts defense.

They play at the Colts at the right time.  Although you always want your best facing their best, you take it however you can.  The Cardinals should prevail in this one.
