This week
"There's just nothing like spending hours researching two teams to see what everything suggests will happen and then witnessing that it all goes "Twilight Zone". The Cardinals beat the Panthers 33-13 in Carolina during the playoffs last year. This time around the Panthers were only 2-4 and struggling so naturally they dominated the Cards and led 28-7 at halftime. They intercepted Kurt Warner five times. DeAngelo Williams ran for 158 yards and Jonathon Stewart scored twice. Even Steve Smith had his first touchdown on the season. And yet Delhomme only passed for 90 yards and the one score (which was 50 yards by itself). Then there was the Jets hosting the Dolphins who only had 52 rushing yards and 112 passing yards and yet won 30-25 thanks to Ted Ginn Jr. setting an NFL record with two 100+ yard kickoff touchdowns in the same game and a fumble return touchdown also piled on the points. Sometimes you just have to say "go figure" and get ready for next week."
