NFL Undefeateds

Last week we had three undefeated teams and all lasted to be undefeated. Let’s recap the Cardinals, Falcons and Texans wins.

A Man among Men (Part 2)

Last week, we detailed Chris Carpenter’s return to the majors only three months after having his rib removed. We predicted a line of: 5IP 1ER 5H 1BB 4K. What he pitched was an eerily close 5IP 2ER 5H 1BB 2K performance. He was limited to 77 pitches to insure he doesn’t reinjure himself after working hard to come back to the team this season for the playoffs.

Tonight, Carpenter gets the nod again looking to regain his form from last year and be ready for the playoffs. The last time he pitched against the Astros was game 162 last year, where he delivered a dominating two hit shutout performance while striking out eleven. We don’t expect him to do this again as he should be limited to around 85-90 pitches, and it appears as if he hasn’t gotten full command of his sinker yet. Regardless expect a line of 5 2/3 IP 4H 1ER 1BB 3K against the helpless Astros.

The Mysterious Arizona Cardinals will make the Playoffs!

This will be the first of my two bold predictions for the 2012 NFL season. I know that the season is two games in, third week up coming, but still these two predictions are what I made prior to the season.
