University of Phoenix Stadium Bengals vs. Cardinals

Quarterback Andy Dalton had his worst outing of the year, totalling 197 yards through the air with no touchdowns and an interception.

Arizona built leads of 19-0 in the second quarter and 22-7 at halftime, capitalizing on Seattle’s inefficiency and mistakes on offense, and hitting big plays against the Seahawks vaunted defense. “We disagree with each other and that’s how it ended, but now is not the time or place to get into a ‘what he said, what she said, ‘ type of deal”. The game between the Seahawks and 49ers this Sunday should prove to be quite telling, as Seattle is losing steam in the playoff hunt at this point, but the postseason is not mathematically impossible for any team in the division, but the odds are not in their favor. This game doesn’t define our season. It doesn’t define anything.

Cincinnati, which is 8-1 SU and 7-1-1 ATS, is facing its biggest underdog spread this season after its frankly embarrassing six-point performance against the Texans. When two teams appear evenly matched as they and the Bengals do, then home field matters a lot more.

Arians has said of the Bengals ahead of the game: “They’re very long and fast”. They have a solid secondary. After laying an egg against the Texans on Monday, the Bengals are 4-8 in the Dalton era. They’re a quality, quality group.

” It is the first meeting between Lewis and Cards head coach Bruce Arians, but Arians went against Lewis’ Bengals for eight years from 2004-2011 as the Steelers offensive coordinator. He totaled 737 yards and seven touchdowns, throwing for 363 with three TDs in a 39-32 victory over Seattle last Sunday. He took them to their first playoff appearance in 15 years only to have his knee blown out on the first play of the game (a 66-yard completion, mind you).

The Arizona Cardinals are enjoying a three game winning streak going into Week 11, most recently a tough win over the defending NFC Champion Seattle Seahawks. They will need to force pressure on Carson Palmer, contain Chris Johnson, and stick to the NFC’s best wide receiving duo.

But if Peterson can limit Green’s looks, that means Dalton, who is having a career-best season with 2,423 yards, 18 touchdowns, five interceptions and a rating of 104.6, will look toward other options, including tight end Tyler Eifert.

“Any time you play a team where you spent a few time, especially for as much time as I spent there, ” he said, “it’s not just another game”. But we went to the Minnesota game a couple of weeks ago when we had the Thursday night game, and everyone is so welcoming and they really want the best for the guys, even the one who haven’t been there in 10 years.

The Arizona Cardinals’ veteran quarterback was fined $11,576 for a pelvic thrust on the team’s sideline late in Sunday night’s win over the Seattle Seahawks.

The Cardinals’ 33.6 points per game are just 0.1 behind the NFL-leading New England Patriots, but the Bengals are allowing an NFL-low 16.9 PPG. The Bengals are on pace to yield 270, and the fewest the club has given up in a 16-game season is 284 in 1978. Cincinnati has been limited to 78 yards or less in two of the last three games.

The Bengals will have to be ready for schedule changes and definite adjustments in attitudes. Sunday Night Football guru Tony Dungy gives the Bengals a chance against the Cardinals.

“It was scary, ” Iupati said.

The Bengals could get right tackle Andre Smith back after a two-game absence due to a concussion.
