Kevin Kolb Leads Cardinals Past Eagles To Stay Undefeated

Here is the latest from Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com.

If further evaluation does indicate a turf toe, Wells could miss substantial time. These kind of injuries have a tendency to linger over the course of a season, and that’s the last thing the Cardinals want.

Fantasy studs/duds: Arizona quarterback and former Eagles signal-caller Kevin Kolb was efficient in carving up the Eagles’ defense. Kolb was 17-of-24 passing for 222 yards and 2 touchdowns. Larry Fitzgerald was Kolb’s primary target with 9 receptions for 114 yards and a touchdown. Eagles quarterback Michael Vick was only 17-of-37 passing for 217 yards. He also had 28 rush yards. Although Vick avoided throwing any interceptions, he lost two fumbles.

Odds/Gambling: This game was an upset as the Eagles were favored by 3.5 points. The Eagles fell behind by 10 points after the first quarter and were never in the game after 14 more points in the second quarter by the Cardinals.

The pass was clearly intended for Floyd, but a pair of Eagles defenders were there to cover the pass. Fortunately for Floyd, they ended up running into one another, leaving him free to catch the ball in wide open space.

They face a team that is probably a bit more of a surprise to be 2-0 in Arizona. Arizona had a solid win at home against Seattle, but then they came back with an even more impressive win on the road in New England. Arizona’s very strong defense now gets Vick and Philadelphia at home and a chance to try and create more opportunities.The Cardinals have a decent shot to go 3-0.

The Eagles are currently listed as 3.5 to 4.5 point favorites. The game is scheduled for a kickoff at 4:05 p.m. ET on FOX.

The Eagles, the luckiest 2-0 team in decades after rallying twice for 1-point victories, opened as 5.5-point road chalk back on Monday, but a steady stream of Arizona money has the line at -3 or -3.5 at most sportsbooks tracked by OddsShark.com.

”A patchwork O-Line doesn’t give many bettors a lot of comfort, especially if it means less protection for Michael Vick,” said football analysts Jack Randall of OddsShark.com. “And Arizona has quietly won nine of 11 games and have dominated the spread at home lately, going 8-3 ATS.”
