After another win on the season, the Cardinals improved their record to 6-3. With a win this week against the Rams, they could be looking at a top 5 spot in most power rankings. Last week they averaged a 10.9. This week their average power ranking is 8.4 - a slight improvement but the doubters are still out there.

The division title is theirs unless they have a disaster. Now they have to work on playing better at home because they will have a home playoff game.

Kurt Warner and the gang are temporarily off Power Rankings Probation after finally putting together consecutive wins, albeit over 4-5 Chicago and 3-6 Seattle. While still hoping for more consistency from the Cards, they can be 8-3 if they handle their business against the Rams and improving Titans — potentially setting up a Week 12 shootout against Brett Favre in Minnesota.

Looking like a more complete team than the one that advanced to Super Bowl 44.

This is as high as the Cardinals have climbed all season, but I'm still not completely sold on them. Maybe it's because they're the clear class of their division and they know it, but the Cardinals still look like the kind of team that believes it can flip the switch and start winning almost any time it pleases. Down 14-0 at home to Seattle in the second quarter, Arizona hit the gas and scored 31 of the game's final 37 points in the 31-20 win. But the trick is to play four quarters with that same intensity, and not rope-a-dope its way through the game's first 20 minutes.

The Cardinals are a really dangerous team. Their defense looks better than last year's version, Kurt Warner is healthy again and Wells gives them an added dimension that they didn't have last season. As long as Arizona doesn't have to play in terrible weather, they're going to be a tough out come playoff time.
