2015-16: Who Will Win - Saints @ Cardinals

[MHSL82]

I am doing a poll series this year. I'll see how long I can keep it up, but no guarantees. Even if this seems obvious, please vote, for this and other polls, as I will compile winners somehow at some point. (No penalty for wrong choices, just no credit. (Those who vote most have best chance of winning, right? Reward is props, sorry I'm not offering more.) I would appreciate real voting and not troll voting, as I want to see what SportsHoopla record is on these predictions. Also, votes are public, so we know those who troll.

First up was Pittsburgh Steelers at New England Patriots
Second was Baltimore Ravens at Denver Broncos.
Third was New York Giants @ Dallas Cowboys.
Fourth was Green Bay Packers @ Chicago Bears.
Fifth was Detroit Lions @ San Diego Chargers.
Sixth was Seattle Seahawks @ St. Louis Rams
Seventh was Cincinnati Bengals @ Oakland Raiders
Eighth was Kansas City Chiefs @ Houston Texans

Next is New Orleans Saints @ Arizona Cardinals, who wins? I'm not putting tie as an option, it's just not practical, though possible.

Voting ends about 40 minutes before kickoff. You CAN change your vote, but the poll is public and you can only view after voting. So make your best guess, if public favorite changes your mind, feel free to change.

I kind of burried my own thread trying to get the team threads together.

I have no idea who wins, as I'd think New Orleans is due for a better (not good per se) year, but I'd give the home team the nod.

The cardinals will win & I don't even think this will be a close game. The Cardinals are 13-3 at home under Arians.

I think AZ here also. But I think AZ will be one of those teams that comes back to the field a bit OL still not settled out there...Saints imo will not be a whole lot better on DEF TY losing their best CB for several games and one of their best front 7 players in Gallette is no longer on the team...Saints will be in the mix for the DIV, but start 0-1.

Arizona is a pretty easy pick for me in this one. Even with AZ having some OL issues the Saints are not the type of team to take advantage of that in my opinion. On the other side I think AZ has enough talent on defense to get enough stops for AZ to win this game.

Kind of strange matchup...both HCs would rather beat you passing...a rebuilt OL vs a somewhat rebuilt front 7...I'm not sure either team can run it well but I do feel better about AZ running and getting the best balance.

For me I just see with the injuries/cuts that the Saints have made that defense will most likely be bottom 5 in the league so any weaknesses that the Cardinals might have on offense they will still be able to exploit the Saints defense. While I do think AZ's defense was overrated last year they are still better than anything New Orleans will put on the field so I think they get a few more stops.

The Saints will win.....hard to see this being a blowout. The Cardinals doesn't have the tools on offense to blow out anybody

The Saints are almost always in the games. Last year they did not starting getting beat badly until we had practice squad guys starting in our secondary in the 2nd half of the year
