6* Arizona/Oakland OVER [9pm]
Cardinals are in the final stages of the QB battle between Matt Leinart and Kurt Warner, and this is the first time in the preseason that both will play with the first string, as Whisenhunt will play the top units into the 3Q, with Leinart getting the first 1.5 quarters and Warner the rest. This is a strong offensive club with two starting quality QB's, making it no surprise they have scored 22.2ppg in the preseason (25.0 away) the last two years with the exception of the "lets get the hell out of here" Week Four contest last season. As for the Raiders, tonite will be an interesting game. Coach Lane Kiffin explains it this way: "We're going to come out and throw it a lot...It'll be good to see. I know we can run the football. That's no secret. We were good last year, I think we'll be better this year. ... To come out and run the ball again, and do it this game, really isn't important, because I'm not worried about that. I want to see how much we can do with our first unit throwing the ball."
Well that certainly sounds like an Over comment to us, as it should take away those time consuming run based drives the Raiders are used to, keeping the clock an ally of the Over. Cards do not have a great defense, and Bertand Berry (leading sacker) will not even start tonite, so Oakland has a shot at doing well here on offense. Also, while we do expect the Oakland offense to do well (starters will play 3Q), note that JaMarcus Russell still is young, and this will be the most passing he has been asked to do in his pro career. Mistakes are quite likely to happen, and big mistakes lead to "Pick Six" chances for the Cardinal defense, or excellent field position for the Arizona offense, both of which point toward the Over. Finally, note that last year these two teams met in the preseason and there were 50 points put on the board. Kiffin and Whisenhunt are good friends, and both need good showings from the offense tonite. Says here both will be happy when the night is OVER.
Thanks, and Good Luck!
