Darkhorse Football Pick

I'm making the call now, well I actually made it official for other people a couple nights ago, but now it's going on here where it can be preserved for posterity and adjusted accordingly. My darkhorse pick for this NFL season is the Arizona Cardinals. They have everything they need to get it done this year. Matt Leinhart has a year of play under his belt, a year in which he also played pretty damned good for a rookie QB. Two top flight receivers in Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald, everyone should already know to fear the black Irish and this season he's going to remind you why. Plus Edge is back in camp with a vengeance, he's trimmed himself down and got stronger with some serious strength training in the off season. He also got rid of the gold teeth. Edge is all business this year, he even had some talks with Curtis Martin about turning up the tempo in playing as he gets older.

First year head coach Ken Wisenhunt also has had the offensive line slim down by around 40 lbs each to make them more mobile. This is gonna be a quick and exciting team to watch on offense, and they're employing a type of hybrid 4-3 and 3-4 defence which should be pretty entertaining on defence as well. Let's also remember that the Cards have on paper at this point one of the easiest schedules in the league. They still won't compare to the mighty Patriots but I am confident this years version of the Arizona Cardinals will surprise a few people. I'm also a fan of the jerseys, say what you will they have some of the best in the NFL.
