I've consistently said the Cardinals can win the division, but the 49ers should be favored at this time because they have fewer question marks. As far as scheduling, it's tough to predict the Cardinals in that area. They went 6-2 on the road last season, but lost at home to Carolina. I see eight or nine victories on that Arizona schedule this season, which would put them right in the hunt for a third consecutive division title. The San Francisco 49ers should also be in that range, too. I'm not expecting any one team to run away with this division. And I'll say it again: Do not write off Arizona.

Sando is one of the few media people who is fair when he talks about the Cardinals

Lifelong Arizona Cardinals/Chicago Bears fan [I have always lived in Arizona, dad is from Chicago].

I can't stand fair-weather/bandwagon fans, stick with your team, throughout the good and the bad. And don't switch to whichever team wins the Super Bowl each year.

Funny

I also think we’ll be at 8-9 wins.

I am not seeing the same things the experts are

I don’t understand how it can be said the 49ers have less question marks?

Alex Smith is the biggest. If I were betting, I’d take D.A. over Alex.

Offensive line? We’ve moved some players around, some new faces, and they drafted a couple new faces…before the games begin I don’t think you can say the O line is answered in SF anymore than it is in AZ.

I am just not seeing a drastically better level of comfort in SF than in AZ…there are some very interesting risks/wait and see scenarios in both camps.

Plus, the experts are discounting the team that has won the last two division crowns…sure we had Warner, Dansby, Rolle, Berry, Okeafor, Rackers, Boldin, etc….but if you look at the replacements, by all accounts except at QB, we can be just as good if not better….

lets go win this thing!
