Despite having no real playoff implications and both teams in the midst of complete meltdowns on and off the field, this should still be worth watching as both sides try to save what little dignity they have left.

The Cardinals followed up their shellacking by the Niners with a loss to the Rams last weekend pushing their winless streak to seven while Denver is currently riding a three game winless streak and followed up its loss to Kansas City with the firing of head coach Josh McDaniels.

And if you want more proof that Denver’s best days as are long behind them, just look at quarterback Kyle Orton’s last outing. Orton, who leads the league in passing yards, turned in his worst performance in two seasons going 9-of-28 for 117 yards.

Meanwhile, the Denver rushing game has all but totally taken an early vacation as No. 1 RB Knowshon Moreno has just 633 yards on the ground with four touchdowns. The offense has been one dimensional with Orton’s high-octane aerial assault. WR Brandon Lloyd has 60 catches for 1,153 yards and nine touchdowns and Jabar Gaffney has 56 catches for 693 yards and two touchdowns.  If Orton is off, the Broncos will be in trouble.

Arizona’s QB carousal has just taken another hit with Max Hall joining the volatile Derek Anderson on the injured reserve list early this week. Coach Ken Whisenhunt be forced to start rookie fifth round pick John Skelton or newly signed UFL QB Richard Bartel. Skelton saw action last week after Hall’s departure, and completed half of his six passes for 45 yards.

Whoever gets the start will have no shortage of players to throw to, as Cardinals have a pair of the NFL’s beat receivers. Larry Fitzgerald’s numbers have suffered, but he still has 63 catches for 789 yards and five touchdowns and Steve Breaston has 39 catches for 632 yards.

Arizona will need to mix in a little of its running game if they want to come out with a win in this one. Tim Hightower has rushed for 519 yards and three touchdowns and Beanie Wells has been a major disappointment as he’s rushed for just 307 yards and two touchdowns. This could be the duo’s best chance as they will face a deficient (31st) Broncos run defense.

The Broncos have won seven straight versus the Cardinals since a 17-17 tie in 1973.

Both teams haven’t played good defense, giving up over 55 points between them on average per game. Both offenses have struggled, but nothing makes for better spoke in offensive performance like a porous defense. I think the Cards get the early Christmas gift in this one with a better effort from their defense and running game.

Matt’s Free Prediction: Arizona
