The defense picked up the best corner in the draft along with the a few lower level free agents. The remade the o-line and added Kolb and Heap. All that being said, they have six winnable division games plus play the Panthers, Browns, Bengals, Vikings, and Redskins. I will be betting the over.

They also traded away their best corner. The point about the schedule is well-taken though.

It's fine to say they have a winnable division (what division isn't?), but the Cardinals are by no means the most talented or well-coached team in that division. Heap is about 87 and hasn't had an injury-free season, well, in basically his entire career. If he's who Cards fans are banking on to be a great complementary receiver to Larry Fitzgerald, then the Cardinals may be worse off than I thought.

Are the Cardinals a substantially more talented team than the remade Panthers? I doubt it. The Browns, Bengals, Vikes, and Redskins all royally stink though, no denying that.
