    Welcome sports fans ! The games are getting so big they derserve there own theads !

    The Chicago Bears (10-6) @ The Arizona Cardinals (14-2)

    The Bears are the surprise package this season, the Bears had a strong start to the season, they stalled mid way and picked it back up at the end of the season ! This is impressive, the NFC North is arguably the hardest division in the BFL.

    The Cardinals could very well have had finished with a perfect season if it wasnt for the head coach being away for two weeks for family matters. The Cardinals have the stigma of being the bad boys of the NFL, with accusations of running up the score. The cardinals play with an attitude of " We play for 4 four quarters "

    So you will win the game? Time to check the stats.

    The match up's favor Arizona. Eli manning with a qb rating of 82.3 a 60% completion and 8 yard per completion is excellent but up against the defensive backs of the cardinals things to not bode well. The cardinals have 43 interceptions. With Charles Woodson (SS) and Brandon Meriweather (FS) have over half the interceptions than the rest of there team. Cardinals win with turnovers, without them they lose games....

    What do the Bears need to do ? Run the ball , this puts a massive amount of pressure on Cornel Walker the rookie at running back for the Bears. Who's had over an 1000 yard season. The Cardinals weakness are there OLB's and there DT'S so a strong run game that forces the safeties into the box will allow Eli manning play action for a big pass.... just not in the area of Woodson. Bowe is Chicago's main target , will he get free from Woodson at any point in the game ?

    How do the Cardinals keep winning ?

    Keep Deangelo Williams running the ball and catching the ball. Williams has the more passing yard rushing yards and more receptions than anyone else on his team. Cardinals run it up the middle then set up the screen pass. Williams has 853 catching yards with 951 yards after the catch.

    If you target Williams to much, Brand Marshall at wide out will burn you for touchdowns.

    Chicago defensive ends and Outside line backers will need to be up for the challenge of a screen at any time ! The Bears End's are up to it and End but there linebackers seem to be the weak link. The Cardinals will make some big plays , Chicago will need to reduce how many big plays there are.

    Prediction
    The Cardinals by 9 points ! Eli Manning is going to have to air it out if his team fall behind and will more than likely throw interceptions.

    Sidenote: If Eli Manning throws only one interception .... The Bears will win this game.

    Sidenote: If Williams has over 150 yards from the line of scrimmage in this game then Arizona win this game.

    Until next time sports fans ! :cool:
