NFL Picks: This years the Cards team is not the same bird the Panthers played last year! That game was actually one of the worst I have ever seen! No offense, and sloppy play from both teams. Now that both teams are playing well, we should see a real game hopefully it is what we all expect to see, good smashmouth football. Both teams have playmakers on offense, both teams have quick defenses. It all comes down to defense. Can the Cards hold Steve Smith to minimal yardage and contain the run?
