Super Bowl XLIII competitors Arizona Cardinals (4-1) and Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2) are coming off huge victories in Week 5 and they are both out to commence a winning streak facing each other this week at the Heinz Field.
The Cardinals were able to bounce back from their sorry Week 4 loss to St. Louis by banging the Detroit Lions, 42-17, at the Ford Field last Sunday.
Quarterback Carson Palmer was superb in the game, throwing 11-of-14 for 161 yards, three touchdowns with no interceptions and two sacks for a high QBR of 96.8 and a rating of 154.2, via Fansided.
Pittsburgh was also able to squeak out a 24-20 win over the San Diego Chargers at the Qualcomm Stadium even without their starting signal caller, Ben Roethlisberger, who is still out with a knee injury, as per ESPN.
Running back Le'Veon Bell completed a one-yard touchdown rush with five seconds remaining in the clock to snatch the victory away from San Diego.
Michael Vick and his crew will not easily duplicate it against the Cardinals, though. Arizona is one of the best teams in creating turnovers for their opponents at the moment, which allows their offense to create huge margins of victory.
Prediction: Cardinals win, 38-14.
