The Arizona Cardinals just held the Kansas City Chiefs to 26 points, their lowest total all season, and now return home to face a much less intimidating offense.

The Cardinals host the Oakland Raiders, losers of five-straight, in Week 11. In three out of their past four games, the Raiders offense has failed to score more than 10 points.

Per numberFire metrics, the Cardinals rank as the league's fifth-best defense, and Arizona is one of the better teams at pressuring the quarterback. Behind Chandler Jones, the Cardinals have posted the sixth-most sacks (29) in the league, and the ninth-most quarterback hits (58). Arizona has notched multiple sacks in every game this year.

That doesn't bode well for Derek Carr, who has taken the seventh-most sacks (29) among all quarterbacks. Carr has also thrown the seventh-most interceptions (8) this season, but he hasn't tossed a pick over the past four games. Unfortunately for Carr, he's only thrown three touchdown passes over that span and they all came in Week 8 against the Indianapolis Colts.

Against a sputtering Raiders offense, the Cardinals are 4.0-point home favorites and they're the top streaming play of the week.
