What's At Stake:
This game will have a big impact on the NFC West race. It's also a "prove it" game for both teams. The Seahawks' and Cardinals' best win this season has come against the Chicago Bears. The winner of this game will get a needed boost to their resume and an advantage in the NFC West.
Key To The Game:
Which offense can actually move the ball? The Seahawks and Cardinals have two of the best defenses in the NFL. They both rank in the top 10 in every major stat and are in the top five or three in the most stats. The Cardinals have had the superior offense statistically, but they've beaten up on lesser teams. Both defenses will play well, but it'll be up to the offenses to find ways to get in the end zone. Points will be at a premium and settling for field goals won't be enough.
