Name the Week One Score

[Harry]

I apologize if I missed this thread elsewhere. Usually someone starts one by now. I see this a little more high scoring than most. While a blowout is possible the Saints have been tough at home to start the season. Their excellent Oline will be a great test of the new pass rush. I’m looking for the offense to be solid and take the game 27-20. It may be too close for comfort but this to me is a must win game. Sadly there will be a bunch of those stressful games this season. This year is all about the Cards being tough. I expect Murray to run often in this game. The running game eventually wears down the Saints. I think their corners play well. Johnson is better than Thomas would have been, though Johnson will get beat occasionally.

honestly it's week 1 early start on the road with tons of unpredictables - this game is just as important as any division game if not more so as our divisional rivals will surely make short work of new orleans

we need to not let this turn into a football contest but to let talent dictate the victor one must be mistake free

i don't see the saints scoring a whole bunch - most have them around 14 points but i don't see the cardinals scoring a whole bunch either - so be prepared to sweat this one out - literally - defense comes up big for the win at the end

saints 12
cardinals 16

I will go, Cards 31 - Saints 17.

Three different receivers score on Sunday

 

[MartinD]

23-20, Cards, and, even though our team wins, most of the posters complain the Cards needed to do better.

 

[Shane]

24-14 Saints

 

[slanidrac16]

Cards 2td’s and 3 fgs. =23
Saints 1td and 3 fgs. =16

We will not be happy with the red zone failures.

30-17 seems about right.

 

[Crimson Warrior]

Last year this offense showed it can score a lot on bad teams. Like the Pats and Bears. Wear them down with the run.

Kinda feels similar to that. I think maybe 31-10 or 31-17.

Really, really, want to see our defense get after a pedestrian saints offense. Give us some real hope for the year.

The Cardinals revamped defense sets the NFL on fire by delivering a nice plump Goose Egg to the Saints to start the season.

Saints-0
Cardinals- Not zero

 

[jf-08]

9-3 cards

 

[Zeem_Freeze]

24-14 Saints

Extremely hot take to think the Saints defense holds ANY team to 14 points. They did that 3 times last year, vs the Browns, the Panthers in week 1, and the Giants.

Plus their defense lost many starters from last year... and now Chase Young is out and their slot corner is questionable.

Cardinals win 34-17

 

[slanidrac16]

9-3 cards

So take the points…

 

[BACH]

Passing game with be rusty. Saint with Rattler is a bad team. But at the end of the day it’s the 2nd best rushing team against the worst rushing D last year without any upgrades being made.

28 - 17 with the Saints scoring the last TD in the final 3 minutes.

 

[schutd]

19-6 Cards

 

[PJ1]

31-20 Cardinals.

 

[CardNots]

Cards 31-10

We dominate time of possession.

Kyler, Conner rushing touchdowns

Two passing touchdowns one each to MHJ and McBride.

 

[Phrazbit]

24-13

I think we will be very conservative and run a lot.
