NFL Free Pick – Sunday, December 12, 2010

vs.

Denver at Arizona 4:15 PM CBS –At first glance this could be a sleeper with both teams in the midst of complete meltdowns, both on and off the field with absolutely no chance of making the postseason.

However, those circumstances could set up a very interesting matchup with both sides just trying 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. Denver is currently riding a three game winless streak and they will be a team without their head coach who was fired after last week’s debacle.

The Broncos’ Kyle Orton, who had his worst game in two seasons going 9-of-28 for 117 yards, is only more proof that Denver is in big trouble for a once storied franchise.

As for the Cards, their quarterback situation is about to get worse as they look to avoid their first eight-game skid since Sept. 17-Nov. 12, 2006. With Max Hall placed on injured reserve this week and the volatile Derek Anderson questionable after suffering a concussion, Arizona is expected to hand over the offense to rookie fifth-round pick John Skelton or newly signed Richard Bartel.

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

The odds makers have the Denver Broncos as a -5 point favorite with an over/under of 42.5.

If Arizona can mix in a little Tim Hightower against a deficient (31^st) Broncos run defense, they could spread a little early Christmas cheer for the hometown fans.
