Prediction:

The Cardinals desperately need to win this game to keep themselves in the hunt for the NFC West division title. A key factor to getting this win is to make sure the they haven’t already dug themselves a hole by the end of the first quarter.

The end result of the game will ultimately depend on whether Carson Palmer’s hamstring affects his game. Given that Bruce Arians isn’t worried about how Palmer will play and the Cardinals are at home, Arizona should be able to get within half a game of the division lead.
