The two teams are very similar, but the Cards just seem to have a bit better pass defense.
The biggest thing to consider is probably injuries. Boldin's and Fitzgerald's injuries are both up in the air right now for this week. I wouldn't make the bet until after the Cards/Seahawks game to see if/how they're playing. If both are out or doubtful then I'd take a -3.5 line.
I would try and stay away from a -3.5 line in favor of the Saints though. I'd consider a -2.5 if he'd take it. The Cards have 5 games under 7 points this year so chances are a game between two relatively equal teams could easily come down to a late field goal.

Reggie Bush, injured PCL. Could change the odds a bit if he's out.
