An Optimist’s View of the 2017 Arizona Cardinals Schedule
By Jeremy Meek
The Cardinals close out the 2017 season by traveling to Seattle, one of the league’s toughest places to play
No team has a home field advantage like the Seattle Seahawks. Their fans have an enormous effect on opposing offenses, and thus outcomes of games. It’s one of the most difficult places to play in the NFL.
In 2016, the Seahawks went 7-1 at home. The one loss was to the Cardinals. Arizona also won in Seattle in 2015. Carson Palmer has a tremendous history playing in Seattle, must to the surprise of many.
The Seahawks will look to change that streak in 2017, but they have to protect Russell Wilson to do so. The Cardinals have one of the best pass rushing tandems in the league, and they’ll look to tee off on a Seattle offensive line that has been questionable in recent years.
Seattle would love nothing more than to be the team that ends Arizona’s perfect season. This game will be epic. Arizona 20 – Seattle 14
