If you've watched the Arizona Cardinals this year, you know it hasn't been pretty.

However, the Cardinals have a winning record right now(just like they did last year, after a 4-0 start ended with a 5-11 record on the season).

The offense looks downright pathetic at some times, but that doesn't really matter, if the team still wins.

After the Cardinals' win on Sunday over the Panthers, the team has a 3-2 record. There are only two teams with a better record than the Cards -- New Orleans, at 5-0, and Seattle, at 4-1. Only three other teams match the Cardinals with a 3-2 record.

New Times readers actually have a good history of predicting the Cardinals' record. Last year at mid-season, when the team was 4-4, almost half of our readers said the Cardinals would only win either one or two of the next eight games. They were correct.

Let's see if the readers can do it again. Will the Cardinals finish this season with a winning record?
