Week four is already upon us and to me, this is the week that our Arizona Cardinals get to make a statement. With all of their key contributors coming back and presumably playing in the game vs. the Giants, we will get a good look at what this squad is made of.
The other teams in the NFC West will get to do the same thing. There are no divisional games this week and to me, there is a high probability that the NFC West loses out. Everyone but San Francisco is at home, as they visit the Eagles. Other than that, let's take a more in depth look and get ready for game day in this week's Roundup.
