The Cardinals will represent the NFC West in the playoffs; no way around it. How fast they officially become that representative is up to the Rams...and the 49ers...and if you really want to get philosophical about it the Jets and the Cardinals too. All that has to happen for Arizona to clinch is a San Francisco loss to the Jets. Consider that as good as done.
Another open-ended question for today's is the Kurt Warner's case for MVP. He hasn't been making for the last couple games, but they're figuring him to get back on track today. With perennial favorites like Tom Brady and Peyton Manning out or struggling, Warner's chances are much better. Vikings RB Adrian is making a real case for it too. There's a real horse race for it this season.
Ok, Rams, win one for respectability!
