The Cardinals couldn’t recapture the magic of 2015, and are struggling down the stretch. The Seahawks have had issues on offense but remain the toughest contender for the Cowboys in the NFC playoffs.

Kick off is set for 4:025 PM ET with QB Carson Palmer getting the start for the Cardinals with Russell Wilson opposing him.
Arizona Cardinals
Carson Palmer has seemed to struggle since the NFC Championship game last season. This year the offense as a whole hasn’t been the same. Palmer has 22 touchdowns and 13 interceptions this season and faces the toughest secondary in the league, even with an injured Earl Thomas.
I don’t expect Palmer to throw for over 225 yards in this one.
Second year running back David Johnson is one of the most complete backs in the NFL. His skillset should remind fans of a young Marshall Faulk, as he can beat you on the ground or through the air. The front seven for Seattle is very tough, but I still see Johnson reaching 150 total yards in the game.
He won’t find the end zone after a two touchdown performance last week.
Pro Bowler Larry Johnson had 7 catches for 57 yards against the Saints, and with the release of Michael Floyd he should see even more targets for the remainder of the season.
He will have Richard Sherman covering him for most of the game and Sherman will shut down the older veteran Fitzgerald as he does not have the agility or quickness that normally gives the Seahawks secondary problems.

The Cardinals defense was torched by the Saints passing attack. Drew Brees threw for 4 touchdowns and Brandon Cooks had over 180 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns. The Seahawks passing offense has been inconsistent, but giving up those kinds of numbers may be to Seattle’s benefit in this contest.
Seattle Seahawks
Russell Wilson started the season not fully healed from a leg injury, and the offense was one dimensional as he couldn’t use his scrambling ability to disrupt the opposing defenses.
He has got healthier with each game of the season, but is still not the normal threat to get 50-60 yards rushing per game.
Jimmy Graham has been featured more in the Seahawks offense this season, but he still isn’t the dominant force he was in New Orleans. He had just 1 catch for 31 yards in the win against the Rams.
It was his second straight game with only 1 catch. I see Graham bouncing back in a big way, and he should grab a touchdown pass Saturday.
Doug Baldwin ended his 4 game touchdown drought against the Rams, and he should be a focal point of the offense this week. He will be covered by Patrick Peterson most of the game, but Jimmy Graham should keep Baldwin from seeing a lot of double coverage.

The Seahawks defense took a huge hit with the loss of Earl Thomas, the leader in the secondary. They have a good chance to take down a bitter rival and keep a struggling Cards offense from getting into a rhythm.
Expect the Seahawks to give up less than 17 in this one.
