SB Nation Cardinals: Revenge Of The Birds
SB Nation Rams: Turf Show Times
Breakdown: Both teams enter new eras in this game with QB Derek Anderson starting for the Cardinals and QB Sam Bradford getting the nod for the Rams. The key here for the Cardinals will be getting those talented receivers involved while the Rams may want to use RB Steven Jackson as much as possible to keep the pressure off of Bradford.
Player to Watch: Sam Bradford the number one overall pick in the 2010 NFL draft makes his debut and all eyes will be on him. He's got a boatload of potential but hasn't done anything on the field yet. He doesn't have many weapons so it'll be interesting to see how he handles his first NFL game.
Line: Cardinals are four-point favorites.
Prediction: You have to go with experience over potential in this one. Derek Anderson has a better cast of receivers than Bradford and should be able to win an ugly game. Take the Cardinals by a touchdown.
