Both the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals have already booked their tickets to the postseason, but both have something to play for Sunday. The Seahawks want to grab the fifth seed instead of the sixth while the Cardinals can overtake the Panthers as the No.1 seed in the NFC. These two teams have battled each other tough in recent memory, but the road team has had the edge going 4-1 SU and ATS in the last five meetings.
- Fitzgerald and Floyd combined for 243 receiving yards and two touchdowns against Seattle in Week 10.
- The Seahawks are 5-1 SU and ATS in their past six games.
- The Seahawks are 15-6 SU in their last 21 games against NFC West opponents.
The Seahawks wew double-digit favorites when they hosted the St. Louis Rams last week, but came out flat and lost SU. After some phenomenal performances quarterback Russell Wilson was just good in his last outing as he threw two touchdowns and one interception while spending a lot of the day running for his life.
The Seahawks will need to tighten up their protection if they want to the beat the Cardinals as Arizona embarrassed the Packers last week while notching nine sacks. It seems that every week it is a new player standing out for the Cards during their nine-game winning streak.
