The Arizona Cardinals dismantled the New York Jets 31-6 and are riding a four game winning streak as they enter the bye week. Kyler Murray was fantastic and Trey McBride continues to impress as the Cardinals' defense, led by Budda Baker was solid.
The Cardinals have their sites set on 4 consecutive wins, but the New York Jets and Aaron Rodgers stand in the way. How can the BirdGang pull off a win? Ed has a unique blueprint that will lead to a victory
Are the Arizona Cardinals becoming a consistent team? Extending their winning streak to 3 games after defeating the Chicago Bears would lead you to believe the Cardinals are improving.

After the 34-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers, the words disappointing and inconsistent come to mind. Penalties, injuries, fumbles and gameplan are but a few talking points where there is enough blame to go around.
Will the Arizona Cardinals head to Lambeau Field to leap their way to victory and a 3-3 record? Are Kyler Murray's legs the key to a Cardinals win?
Ed and Javon are not afraid to admit when they are wrong. And they were 100% wrong with their prediction of an Arizona Cardinals loss. Congrats to #azcardinals on a 24-23 comeback victory over rival San Francisco. How does this change the perception of the team?
