The Arizona Cardinals play their last early game time window of the season this Sunday

There are plenty of people who believe given what they’ve seen from the Arizona Cardinals so far, they can beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Tampa this Sunday. The Cardinals will be facing former head coach Bruce Arians for the first time since he left at the end of 2017.

As we’ve seen, just because they have the opportunity to win doesn’t mean they will. The Cardinals are still trying to learn from their mistakes.

So what might we see against the Bucs on Sunday? Here are some bold predictions.

Cardinals will run for 200-yards

This certainly is a bold prediction given how well the Bucs are against the run. In fact, the Bucs are first in the NFL in rushing defense.

They only allow 78-yards rushing per game so far in 2019. However the Cardinals are going to have a two-headed monster on Sunday in Kenyan Drake and David Johnson.

They can run as a team for over 200-yards if they throw quarterback Kyler Murray into that mix. Only 2 teams have gone over 100-yards against Tampa this season but the Seattle Seahawks last week ran a season-high 145-yards against them.
