Arizona Cardinals Offense vs Chicago Bears Defense: The Arizona Cardinals high-flying 17th ranked offense will meet Chicago’s 18th ranked defense. Cardinals QB Kurt Warner (1914 yds, 11-11 ratio, 81.5) is starting to show his age and the shaky O-line will be challenged by the Bears edge rushers. Warner is still one of the most accurate passers in the game when he has time to throw however and he has impact wideouts Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin. The Cardinals run offense with Beanie Wells and Tim Hightower ranks last in the NFL but the 240 Lb. Wells (4.50 40-speed) has been running well lately. Even with the Cardinals struggles their talented wideouts against the Bears suspect DB’s and inconsistent pass-rush gives them a slight advantage overall. The Arizona Cardinals vs. Chicago Bears Week 9 NFL Picks NFL Betting Total is at 45.0 points.
 
Chicago Bears Offense vs. Arizona Cardinals Defense: Chicago’s 16th ranked offense will meet the Cardinals 13th ranked defense. Chicago has been plagued by a poor O-line that has been unable to give QB Jay Cutler (1677 yds, 11-11 ratio, 80.8) time to throw. Arizona is above-average against both the run and pass. Arizona uses a lot of different looks and should be able to confuse turnover prone Cutler into some mistakes. The Bears have some weapons in the passing game with their talented TE’s and versatile RB Matt Forte but their 27th ranked running game has been their Achilles heel. Arizona has a slight advantage here with Chicago‘s lack of a short-yardage running game and red-zone offense.
