The Arizona Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers face one another at State Farm Field Sunday afternoon. The Cardinals have lost five in a row and are coming off their most embarrassing loss of the season. The Steelers are somehow 7-5 and are starting an undrafted rookie nicknamed Duck.

So who will win this game on Sunday?

Steelers Wire managing editor Curt Popejoy and I make our picks for the game. We both expect the same result but having it happen differently.

Here are our picks and predictions:

Steelers Wire: Steelers 21, Cardinals 14

Pittsburgh is in a must-win situation and I think they get it done. Their defense has been so good, I look for another big day.

Cards Wire: Steelers 27, Cardinals 26

I began the week believing the Steelers would win by double digits. The way Kyler Murray and the team appear to have responded, though, makes me believe they will give Pittsburgh trouble. However, Arizona’s defense is just too bad, so Pittsburgh will get a close win, probably on a game-winning field goal.
