Kansas City Chiefs at Arizona Cardinals (-1)
What a difference two weeks makes. Had these two teams met in Week 12 instead of Week 14, it would have featured the 7-3 Chiefs at the 9-1 Cardinals. Instead, both teams have combined for four losses over the past two weeks. Naturally, when they meet on Sunday, someone’s skid will end.
Neither team has been impressive of late, but the Cardinals had been due to take a step back ever since quarterback Carson Palmer was knocked out for the remainder of the year. Kansas City had no such excuse.
Arizona has proven it is certainly capable of winning with backup quarterback Drew Stanton – a 3-3 record in his six starts this season – but the bigger boost to the Cardinals is that they are returning home after a two-game road trip. Arizona is a mere 6-0 this season at University of Phoenix Stadium.
The Cardinals get back on track with a touchdown win, covering the spread.
