Woo hoo!!

Alone in first!!

I was thinking the Cardinals would "just" be a wild card team, but after the Seahawks pathetic performance, I think Arizona's first ever NFC West title (& first division title of any kind since 1975) looks pretty realistic.

Every year they are looking to be that break out team. I think the NFC West is finally "weak" enough for them to get the division title and make the playoffs.

The problem for the Cardinals isn't the 6 games they get against weak NFC West competition. It's the OTHER 10 games they have to play.

@ San Francisco - Won
Miami @ home - Win
@ Washington - Win (probably)
@ NY Jets - loss (probably)
Buffalo @ home - loss (or is Seattle really THAT bad?)
Cowboys @ home - loss
@ Carolina - Loss
@ St. Louis - Win
San Francisco @ home - Win
@ Seattle - Win
NY Giants @ Home - loss
@ Philadelphia - Loss
St Louis @ home - Win
Minnesota @ home - Loss
@ New England - Loss
Seattle @ home - Win


At least this is my take....so, does 8-8 take this division?

It depends on what Seattle looks like after Branch & Engram get healthy. I think Arizona will end up better than 8-8, though. Of your projected losses, they could definitely beat the Jets, Giants & Minnesota. With Brady likely done, they could get New England too.

some of those other games are toss ups Jets week 4, they might not be all there yet. They got lucky with the Dolphins win. I got to watch that game and they didn't look great. Then New England late in the season you don't know. NE with out Brady might be in a tough spot late in teh season.

Mostly agree. Buffalo is still an unknown, and I think the Jets is a winnable game. Minnesota could be as well.

With Burleson done, Seattle's in real trouble now. That's very good news for the Cards.
