Battle of the Letdowns – Arizona Cardinals vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
If you thought the aerial arsenal of the Arizona Cardinals was one-dimensional, then the one-man band of the Jacksonville Jaguars should lower the bar a little for you. Maurice Jones-Drew had five receptions, but managed to rumble for 97 rushing yards and the Jaguars only touchdown against Indy.

This game will come down to defense, The Cardinals are atrocious on the defensive side of the ball, and Jacksonville will deploy Mojo as frequently as possible to try and overcome their abysmal 1-7 ATS record at home. [soliloquy id=”82219″]Expect a heavy dose of rushing from the Jaguars, who are 2-0 SU/ATS lifetime against the Cardinals.
Meanwhile scheming on the defensive side against Kurt Warner should be fairly simply. If the Jags have anything on defense, its speed and aggression. While Larry Fitzgerald will be double-teamed effectively all day, still expect him to break out for at least one touchdown. Hey, somebody in Jacksonville has to show these idiots exactly how to catch a pass (no offense to Torry Holt, but he’s getting old).
Defense and special teams will lead the way in this yawn fest, but the Jags are simply a better team. Back-to-back losses for the Super Bowl losers of 2009 is about standard. Don’t expect much from either team.

One reply on “Week 2 Cardinals vs. Jaguars NFL Predictions”
Both these teams desperately need a win as neither of them can afford to get off to an 0-2 start. I like the Jags in a close low scoring affair.
