Arizona's offense has been awful, but they are getting lucky against heavily penalized teams and turnovers with balls that bounce the right way. Now they get Carson Palmer back, but still expect him to be not ready to just jump back into it against his former team. Oakland was off a bye last week with a new coach and looked like a completely different group against the Chargers and I think that carries over this week.

Cardinals defense is suspect vs. the pass ranking 18th in opp QB rating, 28th in yards per pass attempt and 30th in sack %. Derek Carr is quietly gaining confidence and showing he can play in this league. The most important factor here again is the offensive line and Oakland is 2nd allowing just 2.11% sacks which is impressive with a rookie QB at the helm.


This could easily be the Super Bowl match up, but right now the 49ers are playing their best ball. Injuries are a concern but they are getting healthy at certain spots and although Patrick Willis will miss this game the former Big 10 player of the year Chris Borland will take over and I"m not so sure he's not just as good. The 49ers have incredible depth and they have great offensive line play which will help them win on the road. The 49ers physical brand of football is exactly what will give the Broncos a bit of issue and I see this as a playoff type game with the game being decided in the final minutes. 7 points is a bargain even against Peyton Manning.
