The Arizona Cardinals will play their biggest game of the season Sunday in Week 14. They take on the Seattle Seahawks for the second time in three weeks. The Cardinals lost to them in Seattle 16-6 in Week 12 and have lost two games in a row. The Seahawks have won three straight and are in first place in the NFC West. A win over the Cardinals will all but eliminate the Cardinals from division contention.
Can the Cardinals rebound and get a win?
The Cards Wire staff has made predictions.

I honestly believe the Cardinals will find success offensively this weekend. They showed it last week on the road. The defense hasn’t allowed a touchdown in their last three home games. Seattle’s offense has been less than great while its defense has been top-notch. Cardinals 29, Seahawks 20

The Seahawks have been the Arizona Cardinals Waterloo in recent seasons and it’s time for that to change. The loss two weeks ago was the sixth straight to Seattle and while none were by more than 10 points, the Cardinals averaged only 16 points per game. At home, it’s barren. Since winning in State Farm Stadium in 2011 and 2012, the Cardinals home record is 1-9-1 and only four losses were one-score games. Of course, the 21-20 loss in the season finale last year that featured two late field-goal misses by kicker Matt Prater paved the way for the Cardinals to be in position to select wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. in the draft. The lone win in the last 11 years was in overtime, 37-34, in 2020. But enough about the past. Returning home after playing in two consecutive rough environments should be the elixir the Cardinals need.
