Yahoo Sports Arizona Cardinals at Pittsburgh Steelers: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 13 game
The Pittsburgh Steelers (7-4) got a breath of new life last week and face the lowly Arizona Cardinals (2-10) in a Week 13 matchup at Acrisure Stadium.
After firing offensive coordinator Matt Canada, the Steelers had 400 yards of offense for the first time in 59 games when they beat the Cincinnati Bengals 16-10. Kenny Pickett had a season-high 278 yards and Najee Harris had 99 yards and a touchdown.
The Cardinals lost their second game with Kyler Murray back when they fell to the Los Angeles Rams 37-14. The quarterback went 27-of-45 for 256 yards and had two total touchdowns. He was sacked four times and Arizona's defense allowed five touchdowns.
Will the Steelers be able to keep their momentum going? Or will the Cardinals get their groove back?

Lorenzo Reyes: Steelers 24, Cardinals 17
Pittsburgh was so much better on offense after firing former coordinator Matt Canada, as interim Eddie Faulkner revamped the rushing game and play caller Mike Sullivan looked to attack the downfield passing game against the Bengals. One area where the Steelers actually can improve, however, is finishing drives. Against the Cardinals, I think they will.
Tyler Dragon: Steelers 24, Cardinals 21
The Steelers offense surpassed 400 total yards last week in their first game without Matt Canada. Statistics say Canada was hindering Pittsburgh’s offense, but the team was also playing a Joe Burrow-less Bengals squad ready to mail it in. The Cardinals, too, seem ready to start making vacation plans.
Safid Deen: Steelers 23, Cardinals 17
Kyler Murray is back, but the Cardinals lack playmakers and continuity needed to beat the Steelers, who are somehow a playoff team despite their offensive shortcomings before last week’s explosion of more than 400 yards. Pittsburgh wins at home.
Victoria Hernandez: Steelers 20, Cardinals 10
The Steelers played with a breath of fresh life last week (except for maybe Diontae Johnson) after firing their offensive coordinator. Najee Harris gave the offense a boost even if Kenny Pickett isn’t Ben Roethlisberger. Kyler Murray is still trying to find a rhythm with the Cardinals and their defense doesn’t present as much of a threat as TJ Watt does.
Jordan Mendoza: Steelers 24, Cardinals 16
Is the Steelers offense legit? They get another chance to prove themselves against an Arizona team that got trounced by the Rams last week. Regardless, the defense makes it tough for Kyler Murray to find any rhythm and Pittsburgh continues its playoff push.
