Arizona had locked up its playoff spot and could not gain a higher seed.
New England was still fighting for its playoff spot; this was a must-win game.
Arizona is a warm weather team playing in a snow storm.
Arizona is a West-coast team traveling to the East coast.
It is also a southern team traveling to the north.
New England is coached by Bill Belichick, one of the best game-planners in the league.
The Cardinals were being quarterbacked by Kirk Warner, a passer already game-planned against successfully in the Patriots first Super Bowl victory.
The Patriots were favored by 4.5 points.
They lead 47-0 with five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Final score 47-7.
The Cardinals were trailing the previous week 28-0 at half time. This is an NFC West team that is very weak, but in charge of an even weaker division. So they are getting blown out and should continue to do so until the merciful end of their regular season.
This was a really golden opportunity. Too bad I missed out. But there will be more opportunities.
