Seattle Seahawks at Arizona Cardinals

A month or so back, we thought the Seattle Seahawks were dead. We were wrong.

A few weeks ago, when Arizona was pulling quarterbacks out of the stands, we thought the Cardinals were primed for implosion. We were wrong there also.

So it comes down almost to this game, with the Seahawks one game back and both teams in divisional games next week. If Arizona wins, they lock the division down. If they lose, they are tied by record but the Seahawks are in charge of the division because they will have swept Arizona this season. Then the Cards have to hope Seattle loses to St. Louis—at home—while they beat a San Francisco team which played like they were going to be thrown in the Bay if they lost against the Chargers.

In Seattle, this would be a game the Seahawks would probably win, but in Arizona? It’s going to be close.
