Cardinals on the road in Florida; can they maintain the grit and determination on display last time out and grind out another victory? That is the BIG QUESTION..... www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/42097298We don't need to send in a request to this particular program, there are experts aplenty on the forum who may have the answer. People may be in buoyant mood, but the advice to ponder is don't underestimate the Dolphins in Miami. - A banana skin awaits for the unwary. |

Like many Cardinals fans, I have been wandering in a maze of dark alleyways since 1950, the year of my birth, searching for that one particular doorway leading to brilliant sunshine, unbridled fan euphoria, and an NFL championship. I know banana skins and nefarious actors await me in those murky alleys. I also can hear the fading cheers in the darkened alleyways from the exuberant fans who got liquored up in suburban pubs after one hometown win in warm and dry downtown Glendale, Arizona last Monday night. Their happy yelling continues. However, one mid-season win does not provide a safe doorway to the post-season playoffs. The fans of Championship teams (GB, PIT, DAL, SF, NE, and so on) take such midseason wins in stride, preferring to savor the moment rather than torch the massive stack of bonfirewood after a one-game win and then have nothing to burn when the Lombardi Trophy is celebrated in February. I did savor the last-second win over the Chargers last Monday. My exuberance felt good on Tuesday at 4 a.m. when I learned about the FG that won the game. But that exuberance has ended. It's time for me to move on to the next game at Miami, Florida.
The Dolphins' offense is a shipwreck and taking on water. The survivors from the last game are listed on the Sunday team "Active Roster." The team is recruiting and salvaging new players daily. It is known that the Dolphins offense cannot score, mostly due to QB injuries. The team has used 4 QBs so far in 2024. However, the Dolphins defense is stout and plays toe-to-toe with the NFL's best. Similarly, the Cardinals offense is a General Custer tragedy. Mostly the Cardinals offensive line is keeping the Murray's uniform from getting dirty. But, the QB cannot sustain drives and his teammates cannot score. The Cardinals offensive problems are myriad. Least of all is headcase WR Harrison! The defense is hot and cold. Fortunately, the defensive heat was turned on fullblast at Arizona's homefield win last Monday night. The Cardinals need to bring the same level of heat, violence, speed, and intelligence at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
I got the Cardinals again, winning a low-scoring game. There is potential for the Cardinals to blowout the Dolphins, and maybe get a 40-burger, but only if the QB and all WRs are on the same page. The Miami forecast is low 80s and full sunshine. No repeat of thunderstorms at this game.
Cardinals 20
Dolphins 16
*Predicted score edited on 10/24. The Dolphins offense has struggled for the month of October. Tua rejoining the team won't make that much of a difference Sunday. The Cardinals are inconsistent in moving the chains and scoring TDs. The Cardinals QB situation its the difference on Sunday.

If Tua plays...we will likely get roasted. 31-17
If not, we might win another nasty game. 24-20

Tua will not run the ball coming back in his first game after concussion. Also. He won't risk waiting for Hill or Waddell to get open downfield while he remains in the pocket. That's too risky for him coming back from concussion.
However, he will throw a boat load of intermediate passes. One TD each for Hill and Waddell. The RB's will get 1 TD combined. And I will say they get 2 Field Goals
Miami will get 27 points total.
I do think that our WR's will explode this week. Marvin for 2 TD's, Zay Jones for 1 TD.
Connor/Murray combine for 1 TD. And either McBride. Wilson or Dortch combine for 1 TD.
We get one Field Goal.
Cardinals score 31 points.
Final score:
Cardinals 31
Dolphins 27

Tough one! I think Miami is in a must win and Cardinals haven’t shown they can be consistent. Plus Tua is coming back and although I think his timing will be off a little, they will still have too much firepower for our DBs. I also think it will lift them up to play more emotionally. Their defense will likely not allow much scoring opportunities. Let’s face it, without a couple freaky plays last week, we lose to a team that didn’t score a touchdown.
Local media over hyping the team and Murray too much. Until the Cardinals start beating good teams, I’ll be pessimistic.
Miami - 27
Arizona -17
