Last Meeting ( Aug 12, 2017 ) Oakland 10, Arizona 20

Two teams in the running for the first overall draft pick next year square off Sunday as the Arizona Cardinals host the Oakland Raiders. Arizona is among the worst teams in the NFL at 2-7 after suffering a 26-14 loss at Kansas City last week.

The Cardinals, who also are near the bottom of the league in net points at minus-101, have recorded both of their victories this season against San Francisco, which owns a 2-8 record. The only team worse than those NFC West rivals is Oakland, which fell to 1-8 with last week's 20-6 setback against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Raiders, who have posted the third-worst record through nine games in franchise history, have lost five consecutive games and been held without a touchdown in three of those contests - including each of the last two. Oakland is one of only two clubs worse than Arizona in net points as it ranks last in the league at minus-125.

TV: 4:05 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Cardinals -5. O/U: 40.5

ABOUT THE RAIDERS (1-8): Kony Ealy's tenure with the team was a brief one as the defensive end was waived on Tuesday - eight days after being signed. The 26-year-old, who was Carolina's second-round pick in 2014, was inactive for the loss to the Chargers and hasn't appeared in an NFL game since Dec. 31 with the New York Jets. Oakland could be without wide receivers Jordy Nelson and Martavis Bryant on Sunday as they are dealing with knee injuries and haven't practiced this week.

ABOUT THE CARDINALS (2-7): One bright spot in Arizona's dark season has been Larry Fitzgerald, who continues to add to his Hall-of-Fame resume. The 35-year-old receiver made six catches for 50 yards against the Chiefs to increase his career total to 15,952 yards, moving him past Terrell Owens for second place on the all-time list. The Cardinals hope for another strong performance from David Johnson after he set season highs with 98 yards rushing and 85 receiving versus Kansas City.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Cardinals WR Christian Kirk is one of three rookies in the league with at least 30 receptions (33) and 400 receiving yards (418) this season.

2. Oakland promoted WR Saeed Blacknall from the practice squad to fill Ealy's roster spot.

3. Arizona signed CBs David Amerson and Leonard Johnson after placing G Justin Pugh (knee) on injured reserve and releasing S Eddie Pleasant.

PREDICTION: Cardinals 27, Raiders 17
