The set-up: San Diego lost 27-10 to Tennessee in Week 1, as the Titans did exactly what the team wanted to do. That was; establish a run-first, power-football offense behind DeMarco Murray and Alabama rookie Derrick Henry (last year's Heisman winner). When all the dust had cleared, San Diego's rush defense had been run over for 288 yards, as the Titans averaged 8.7 YPC. Murray had 93 yards in just six carries and Henry 74 yards on 10 attempts. Arizona lost its Week 1 game 31-10 but a closer looks reveals that Carson Palmer led the Cards to a FG in his lone series but his backups were horrible, combining to complete just 12 of 35 passes, while throwing two INTs.

The game: Arizona's defense was very effective in Week 1, holding Oakland to just 10 FDs and there is zero possibility that Arizona's weak running game will have anywhere near the kind of success that Tennessee had running against the San Diego defense. As for San Diego's offense, Rivers' three backups were unimpressive last week, combing to complete 13 of 29 passes with two INTs.

The Cardinals have made back-to-back playoff appearances, only the second time that's happened since the team mover from St. Louis to Phoenix. This team owns a talented roster and there is likely very little urgency in the team's preseason game plans. This one should be a ‘sleeper' to watch. The under is a 10* play.
