Interestingly enough do to a couple of flukey FG plays in the last couple of weeks the Seahawks are technically a worse team than the Cardinals on paper stats wise.
The Hawks would be 6-0 without the 10 point swing vs the Colts in a blocked FG and recovery for a TD...Same thing(sort of) happened last weekend when a substitute holder fumbled the ball on a FG and THAT one was run back for a TD as well.
All that said I think the Seahawks will break out of the stupid Special Teams plays of the last couple of weeks and beat Arizona just on the strength of the Defense and Russell Wilson. Seattle didn't allow an Offensive TD from Titons. Without the two wacky 10 point swings on FG misshaps the Seahawks would have one of the best records and one of if not the lowest scored upon Defense. The still mostly second string O-line has jelled remarkably quickly down the road and as our starters return will pay even higher dividends if there are any injuries towards the latter part of the season.
One of the more important stats that has emerged over the last six games is that the Seahawks have a team rushing stat of 946 yards to Arizona at 514. Seattle is a run first Offense. Lynch and Wilson's legs will continue to grind up yardage and clock.
Seahawks UMMMmmmm... 21
Cardinals .... 6
NO blocked FGs... Carroll has vowed to just score TDs ...
