4. Seattle Seahawks (week 7)

You’d think their week 11 matchup in Seattle would be tougher on a Thursday night. The reality is the Cardinals play much better up in Seattle against the Seahawks than they do at State Farm Stadium.

The Cardinals are 1-6-1 against Seattle at home in the Russell Wilson era. The week 7 game will also be the first of three straight home games with a bye week coming in week 8.

But the fact is there is something about the Cardinals playing the Seahawks at home. Both teams appeared to have gotten better in the offseason so far. Wilson’s only loss to the Cardinals in Glendale was his NFL debut as a rookie in 2012.

The Seahawks game in Glendale was one of the few games last year the Cardinals weren’t very competitive. They lost 27-10 but it was pretty much over after the first quarter pick six by Jadeveon Clowney.

This year’s game doesn’t figure to be much easier. We can always hope though.
