Arizona Cardinals Take a Look at the Upcoming Giants

The Arizona Cardinals won't have an easy game this week, that's obvious. The Giants are 9-1 and on a serious roll as they come into Arizona. They've beaten teams with a combined record of 24-15-1 in the past four weeks (Steelers, Cowboys, Eagles and Ravens) and two of those games were on the road. The Giants are so good, even on the road, that the Cardinals opened up as 4.5 point underdogs at home, even though they're 10-2 over the past two seasons at University of Phoenix Stadium.

The Giants come in sporting the #1 ranked scoring offense and #5 ranked scoring defense. Their ground game is the best in the league by a mile with the most yards per game (172.7) and best yards per carry (5.3). They're passing game, while not prolific is very efficient considering that only 8 teams have thrown fewer interceptions. All of that shouldn't overshadow how good the defense has been this year though. The defense ranks 2nd in total yards per game (265.8), 2nd in passing yards per game (174.8) and 8th in rushing yards per game (91.0). Only two teams have allowed fewer rushing touchdowns than the Giants and they've got more interceptions than passing TDs allowed.

So does all of that mean that the Giants are unbeatable? Certainly not. The Browns beat them and in this league any team can beat any other team on ANY GIVEN SUNDAY. The Cardinals just have to ready to bring it.

Anquan for MVP?

I was setting my Fantasy Football line up on nfl.com when I came across this article. Eisenberg says it should be Boldin because Warner couldn’t be who he is without him.

I still lean on Warner for MVP.

WR vs. QB

It’s always hard for a WR to win an overall award ahead of his QB (see Harrell vs. Crabtree at Texas Tech). It almost always takes multiple QBs throwing to the same WR for the wide out to win. Ultimately though Boldin’s candidacy could end up hurting KW’s chances because they’d split some votes.

Kurt Warner

was an MVP before anyone ever heard of Boldin, so I don’t buy that story. No doubt your receivers are great, but Warner proved years ago that he was an MVP. And the way things are going this year he has to be a prime contender.

Most of the guys at Big Blue View are fans of Warner. He was saddled with an impossible task in NY and handled the situation in a very professinal manner.

I try to watch as many of your games as I can. Your thrashing of Dallas was priceless. Spags is probably not sleeping very well this week in anticipation of your arial attack. I just hope we can keep your offense off the field with our running game.

Good stuff!

Warner won me over with his class on and off the field. He got a little preachy which was pretty annoying and what originally bugged me about him (and his big mouth wife), but he’s learned to tone it down ten fold. He does nothing but show up to play as a team player and gets the job done. Should be an exciting game this weekend, good luck to you guys.
