Arizona 12
| SCOUTING REPORT | ||
Outcome will be decided in trenchesBoth teams will look to use this game as a springboard to the 2005 season, as the Buccaneers and Cardinals were each eliminated from playoff contention last weekend. A win the in the finale would help erase a year-long stretch of disappointment and ultimately set the tone for what needs to be a productive offseason for both franchises.
The Buccaneers and Cardinals also share 5-10 records, so this game will affect each team's position in the upcoming draft. This game may not mean much in terms of postseason consideration, but there is still much at stake between these two up-and-coming franchises. | ||
