Arizona at Las Vegas

The Arizona Cardinals have a long way to go on offense. When Kurt Warner retired, he took most of the offense with him. The Cards are going to have to work on getting the ball to Larry Fitzgerald, allowing them more room to run the ball. I expect to see a lot of him in this game early, and he is always dangerous when the ball gets in his hands. It is hard to understand Raiders owner Al Davis. The Raiders were turning the corner under Tom Cable, and Davis decides it's time for him to go. That brings offensive coordinator Hue Jackson to the forefront, at the helm of the Raiders. That could present some problems with a short training camp to prepare for changes, and they will be made on the fly in week one of the preseason. That will make Oakland vulnerable early. Opt for Arizona in this one.
