The Cardinals are not close to the dominant juggernaut from a season ago as <span class=SpellE>Nate<\/span> Davis who led one of the most potent offenses in the country is long gone.

I&#8217;m not saying this team can&#8217;t travel because they are not <span class=SpellE>Jekyl<\/span> and Hyde like some but the highway has proven to be a lot more formidable for the Chips and in the end I think it leads to a win but non-cover by 31-21.<\/p>\n<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=black face=\"Times New Roman\"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p>&nbsp;<\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText><b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'><font size=3 face=\"Times New Roman\"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-weight:bold; mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>For more information: <\/span><\/font><\/b>Matt Rivers is ready to rock the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.covers-experts.com\/\">sports handicapping<\/a> world with his historic NBA Game of My Life, plus Buffalo-Miami Ohio and New York-Indiana as 50K plays. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.offshoreinsiders.com\/index.php?Page=Packages\"><font color=black><span style='color:black'>Click now to purchase<\/span><\/font><\/a> <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><a\nhref=\"http:\/\/www.offshoreinsiders.com\/\"><b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>OffshoreInsiders.com<\/b><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Super handicapper Matt Rivers continues to dominate since being promoted to the Show at OffshoreInsiders.com after years of being far and away the winningest handicapper at a large network of websites.
