The Arizona Cardinals take on the Seattle Seahawks Sunday afternoon on the road. It is a tough matchup against the No. 1 team in the NFC right now. The Cardinals already played Seattle once this season, getting blown out 27-10.

This time, the Seahawks will be down multiple starters on defense and might be without their left tackle.

How will this game play out?

Seahawks Wire managing editor Liz Matthews and I each give our predictions for the game,

Seahawks Wire: Seahawks 21, Cardinals 17

The Seahawks will likely give fans a late Christmas present with a win.

Cards Wire: Seahawks 27, Cardinals 23

This game goes down to the wire like so many between these two teams in Seattle. The Cardinals run the ball with success and Kyler Murray leads the team to a lead late in the game, but Russell Wilson has enough time to pick apart Arizona’s secondary and gets the game-winning TD.
