Got something to say?

This could quite possibly be the highlight game of the week, and not necessarily on the happenings of the field as much as in the stands. In week four, the San Francisco 49ers take on the Arizona Cardinals in a battle royal in old Mex. That's right, game time is 8:30 pm Sunday from Azteca Stadium in Mexico City.

Though most of the Mexicans in attendance will be thrilled to watch the happenings of this game, most Americans will find it painful, as the 0-3 Cardinals take on the 1-2 49ers.

As for the San Francisco 49ers, hell at least they've won. After the close loss to Dallas last week, Tim Rattay and Kevan Barlow should be looking to take control early on and seal a victory. Look out for wide receiver Brandon Lloyd, who led the game in receiving last week with 142 yards and two touchdowns on four receptions. As for their defense, the seasoned veterans Bryant Young, Jeff Ulbrich, Ahmed Plummer, and Tony Parrish should be able to give the Cardinals a hard time.

As for the Arizona Cardinals, Dennis Green and Kurt Warner are still in search of their first win. Coming off a very quiet loss last week to the Seahawks, the Cardinals should be looking at more realistic odds against the 49ers this week. What the hell, maybe with some luck the Niners will drink the water or eat a bad taco and be out of commission for kickoff. Look out for much anticipated performances from Kurt Warner, Larry Fitzgerald, and Anquan Boldin.

The crowd at Azteca stadium, which has been known to get rowdy, could be an ex-factor. It should be fun.
