Week 15: Arizona Cardinals

There may not be a more questionable quarterback room in the NFL this season than the Arizona Cardinals. With Sam Bradford, Josh Rosen, and Mike Glennon all looking to become the starter in 2018, who knows who’ll actually be starting under center for the Cardinals when they face the Falcons on December 16th.

While the question of “who’ll be Arizona’s starting quarterback” will stick with the Cardinals all year long, I don’t see it mattering too much against Atlanta’s defense. Other than David Johnson, the Cardinals don’t pose a serious threat to the Dirty Birds. Sure, Larry Fitzgerald will get his touches, but it’ll likely be in a losing effort.

Not to mention, this will be the Falcons’ last home game of the 2018 regular season. Not to mention, with a potential postseason-berth on the line, they won’t be unfocused against a sub-par Arizona team standing in their way.

Final Score:

Arizona Cardinals: 16, Atlanta Falcons (9-5): 31
