West coast teams are something like 3-15 playing at east coast cities.

That is an arbitrary and meaningless stat. Carolina, climatewise, has more in common with Tennessee and Atlanta than it does with Foxboro, East Rutherford and Philadelphia. The Cardinals already played once in Carolina, and were beaten by a respectable five points. The Chargers blew away the "east coast" Tampa Bay Buccaneers. You may as well come out with a statistic that claims that the Cardinals don't play well against teams that were established between 1960 and 1972.

I'm not saying that the Cardinals will win. They are clearly an underdog with their weak running game. I am saying that the Carolina Panthers being "on the east coast" will not be a factor.

I know I made it sound like that was the biggest factor, which of course it isn’t.

In the end, for Arizona to keep in the game they have to run the ball better than they did yesterday. They at best are inconsistent at that.

I just think that Carolina has too many weapons not to make this an fairly easy win. They had not established the dual RB game in that first meeting.

We’ll see what happens though.
