Last season it was Christmas Eve.  This season it is New Years Eve.  It doesn’t matter which holiday it is, the Cardinals will play well knowing what’s on the line in this one.

History says this will not decide the NFC West or even a playoff spot.  With so much uncertainty surrounding how the NFC West will tilt this season, this is the most difficult game to predict.

One thing is for sure, the Cardinals have won three of four games in the Bruce Arians-era in Seattle.  The only loss?  The Cardinals were without Carson Palmer in 2014.

It should be entertaining.  Last season the Cardinals jumped out to a 19-0 lead only to squander it, see the Seahawks regain the lead only to see the Cardinals win as time expired.

This game makes the difference between a 12-4 and 11-5 season.  Look for the Cardinals to make it interesting once again.
