Prediction
Arizona Cardinals OVER 8.5 (-110) Season Wins
The Arizona Cardinals surpassed expectations last season and I expect them to do it again this year. The key to the Cardinals success has and will continue to rely on the quarterback protection. Palmer is a good qb when given enough time in the pocket. However, he does not perform well at all under pressure. His success totally relies on the performance by the offensive line. I believe he will continue to get time in the pocket as he did last season and have another good season if he can remain healthy.
