The Cardinals are currently are a -5.5 on the spread right now.  This is slightly lower than last week against Washington but clearly the favor seems to be in the Cardinals hands again.

But these games are played on a field.  The Cardinals are going to need to maintain focus if they hope to go 3-0 going on the road back east next week.
