00:00Meanwhile, the Cardinals, the Rams were no match for them, but I guess I wonder if the
00:08Rams are a match for anyone right now with all those injuries that they have.
00:11Detroit is three-point favorites on the road at Arizona.
00:15This is one of those games, Mike, where before the season, if I said, what's this line?
00:20You would have said Lions minus five, six, six and a half, seven, but the Cardinals have
00:26made believers out of some people who cover the NFL.
00:28Are you one of them?
00:30I don't know quite yet, but they have done some really good things, especially at the
00:34offensive end.
00:36They're getting great production out of James Conner in the backfield, and they're starting
00:39to discover how brilliant Marvin Harrison is at Marvin Harrison Jr.
00:45I think they already know the one in the Hall of Fame is brilliant, but his son, Marv Jr.
00:50is just a phenomenal talent.
00:51He was the best player in college football over each of the last two seasons and still
00:55managed not to leave with a Heisman Trophy, go figure.
00:59But he was the best player in this draft.
01:00He was the best player in college football.
01:03The more they connect with him, the more they show how dangerous he is, the more they will
01:08frighten opponents.
01:09But I'm still not totally buying the defense yet.
01:12They did have a great performance against the Rams, and they hung in against the Bills
01:17in week one.
01:18So I'm not totally rejecting the Cardinals as a possible playoff threat, but I don't
01:25know that right now they're ready to go to Detroit and take on them and cover a three-point
01:33deficit.
01:34I like Detroit here.
01:37Detroit needs this game desperately, because if they want to be what they were nearly a
01:42year ago, which was a Super Bowl team, they can't go one and two and play the way they
01:48have the first couple of weeks.
01:50This is an enormous game for them, and usually when teams with this much ability face these
01:55kinds of games in an NFL season, they usually prevail.
