Seattle has dropped two of their last three games, but they did just pick up a great home win against the 49ers last week. This should be a great game to watch, but I think Seattle is the play here. The Seahawks are at home and they have a ton of momentum, while the Cardinals beat up two bad teams in their last two games. Take the Seahawks here.
