Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks

Seattle is in an unusual place right now: on the outside of the playoffs looking in. It’s been a few years since they have struggled as badly as they have this year, although they are on a three game win streak.

Of course, that streak loses some luster since the wins were against Carolina, Oakland and the New York Giants – not powerhouses in the least this year.

Seattle is third in the NFC West, tied with San Francisco and trailing Arizona by three games. As With Detroit, since things are as tight as they are in the NFC.

The upcoming schedule for the Seahawks is brutal too, as they face San Francisco twice in three weeks, with Philadelphia in between, before they meet Arizona again. They wrap things up in St. Louis.

Nearly every game is a division game and every single game is critical.

Losing to Arizona would be a difficult pill to swallow and make an already tough final schedule even harder.
