TEAMS: Arizona Cardinals, Baltimore Ravens
The Arizona Cardinals have lost five games in a row and they have not looked good on the road so far this year. The Ravens are going to be in a foul mood after losing at Jacksonville last week. The Ravens are 3-0 at home and they have outscored their opponents 98-38 so far this year. Here is a look at the matchups in this game:
When the Cardinals have the ball: With Chris Wells likely out for this weekend’s game with the Ravens, Alfonso Smith will move into the starting lineup. Smith will likely have a tough day as the Ravens are only giving up 85.8 yards rushing per game and 3.3 yards per carry. Kevin Kolb might not have a lot of time to throw the ball but he’s going to also have to be careful. I have a feeling the safety Ed Reed will be giving whichever corner is on Larry Fitzgerald help over the top.

Beck, Smith sneaky starts in Week 8
Shake off the ugliness of Week 7. If you subjected yourself to the SEA-CLE or BAL-JAC games, you brushed your teeth two or three more times and took an extra shower. I love watching defenses go to work as much as anyone, but that Monday night cap to Week 7 was unsettling. Perhaps we can just do a replay of that one on Halloween night or the rights can be sold to AMC to become part...
