Buffalo-Arizona: A Quick Look at Week Five for Buffalo

Bills (4-0) at Cardinals (2-2)

Buffalo is going to want to jump off the starting line this weekend.  Their "comeback" style of play may not work against a great offensive threat in Arizona.

Even with the fumbles and interceptions, Kurt Warner somehow found a way to throw for over 400 yards on a Jets defense that never had a lot going for it to begin with.  Although the stats might tell you otherwise, Trent Edwards still had a tremendous fourth quarter last Sunday for the third week in a row. 

The Cardinals Might Win If:

They reduce their turnovers.  If Warner can put up the numbers he did last week without all the turnovers, he and the Cardinals' talented offense can overrun the Bills and cancel out any chance at a fourth-quarter comeback that has become somewhat of a regular thing in Buffalo.

The Bills Might Win If:

They take advantage of the Cardinals' pass defense.  Sure, Brett Favre is a great quarterback, but his receivers are somewhat average.  Edwards is a smart quarterback, and if the blitz doesn't come straight for him from play one, he may have some time for plays (and routes) to develop.

The Bills also must subdue the Cardinals' passing offense with a little defense of their own.  With McGee out, this may be a difficult task for nickel corner Ashton Youboty and rookie Leodis McKelvin. 

Advantages

Pass Offense: Cardinals
Run Offense: Bills
Pass Defense: Bills
Run Defense: Bills
Special Teams: Bills

Prediction

The Bills' defense will keep it close, and Edwards will be able to take advantage in the end. 32-24 Bills.
