The Cardinals (7-3) won in St.Louis 21-13 in Week 11 and still sit atop the NFC West. QB Kurt Warner made 15 of 19 passes for 203 yards with two TD’s before suffering a concussion. He’s currently listed as probable for Sunday’s tilt. Backup QB Matt Leinart stepped in and made 10 of 14 passes for 74 yards. RB Timothy Hightower had 14 carries for 110 yards, while RB Beanie Wells added a TD. WR Anquan Boldin made eight catches for 103 yards with a TD and WR Larry Fitzgerald made eight catches for 87 yards with a TD. Few cornerbacks in the league can contend with Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald , but Titans Cortland Finnegan is a physical defender that will battle Fitzgerald to the end. The Cardinals are not the same when their biggest offensive weapon is held in check, and it is up to Finnegan to accomplish that difficult feat. The Titans defense is ranked 31st against the pass and Cortland Finnegan leads with three interceptions. The Cards offense is ranked fourth best in the league and they’ll go head to head with one of the worst pass defenses in the league. The Cardinals have averaged 31ppg and allowed 18ppg in their last three games. They are 5-0 SU on the road where they average 28.8ppg and allow 14.2ppg. They are 6-4 ATS and 4-6 over/under.
The Titans (4-6) won in Houston 20-17 in Week 11 and now sit third in the AFC South. QB Vince Young made 12 of 22 passes for 116 yards with a TD; overall he’s thrown for 623 yards with three TD’s and two interceptions for a 85.6 passer rating. RB Chris Johnson had 29 carries for 151 yards, while RB LenDale White pounded in a TD. WR Kenny Brit made four catches for 42 yards with a TD. The Titans are 4-0 since making Vince Young the starting quarterback; they should’ve started him earlier. In fact, he is 8-0 in his last eight regular-season starts. He seems to be playing with more maturity this season, and he is back to being the scrambling playmaker that made him the third overall pick in the 2006 draft. The Titans are the best team in the league at running the ball and they will be against the Cardinals eighth ranked rush defense . Rookie Beanie Wells has started to find his way and the Cardinals' running game has picked up. Arizona remains a passing team, but with Wells and Tim Hightower showing the ability to break some big runs at key times, opponents now have to respect the ground game. The Titans defense is sloppy against the pass and they must be at their best against the high powered arm of Kurt Warner. The Titans have won six straight against the NFC and Rob Bironas made two-plus 50-yard field goals last week. The Titans have averaged 31.7ppg and allowed 20.3ppg in their last three games. They are 2-2 SU at home where they average 27.8ppg and allow 23.8ppg. They are 5-5 ATS and 6-4 over/under.
