The Detroit Lions and the Arizona Cardinals will clash on Sunday in a big Week 11 game in the NFL. These are two of the best teams in the NFL so far this season and both look headed for the Playoffs. However, something must give today and only one of the these teams will be able to walk away with the spoils at the end of the game.

Today's big game between the Arizona Cardinals and the Detroit Lions will start at 4.25 p.m. EDT and takes place at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The game will be broadcast on TV on the Fox network, but can also be watched online through live stream - free for subscribers via the link provided below.

The Detroit Lions go on the road today looking for their eighth victory of the season so far. The Lions are currently 7-2, which places them top of the NFC North. However, they cannot be complacent and the Green Bay Packers are just a game back on 6-3, meaning any slip ups at this stage of the season and the Lions could allow themselves to be caught by the chasing Packers.

The Cardinals come into Week 11 of the season having only lost one game so far this season. Their impressive 8-1 record places them top of the NFC West and they have room to breathe from the chasing Seattle Seahawks who are 6-3, as well as the San Francisco 49ers who are struggling somewhat on 5-4.

Today's game should give Arizona the advantage as they are playing at home, however, the Lions cannot be written off.

The quarterback match up will see Carson Palmer go head to head with Matthew Stafford. Palmer is 141 of 224 for 1,626 yards and 11 touchdowns, compared to Stafford's 208 of 339 for 2,496 yards and 13 touchdowns.
