New York Jets vs. Arizona Cardinals
Despite being billed as an offensive shootout between Brett Favre and Kurt Warner this game will probably be decided on defense. Both of these teams are allowing under 300 yards per game this season so turnovers could decide this game. The Jets would like to run a balanced offense against the Cardinals and for that to happen Thomas Jones will need to have a good game. If Jones gets going running the football then Brett Favre should have the needed time to throw the football down the field to WRs Laveranues Coles, Jerricho Cotchery and Chansi Stuckey.
The Cardinals have been running the ball more than throwing it the first three weeks but look for that to change against the Jets who are allowing 211.3 yards passing per game while only allowing 86.7 yards rushing on 3.1 ypc this year. The Jets have 8 sacks this season and the Cardinals have allowed 7 sacks so look for the Jets to be bringing the heat against Kurt Warner. Still, Jets’ CBs could be in deep trouble trying to match up with WRs Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin of the Cardinals.
PREDICTION: ARIZONA CARDINALS 23, NEW YORK JETS 21
