Cardinals' Four-Game Streak Sets Stage for Crucial NFC West Showdown with Seahawks
  • The Arizona Cardinals are currently enjoying a four-game winning streak, positioning them as one of the top teams in the NFC and leading the NFC West.

  • This winning streak marks their longest since they won seven straight games to start the 2021 season.

  • Their recent success includes a remarkable comeback against the Miami Dolphins, overcoming a 10-point deficit in the third quarter and a 9-point deficit in the fourth quarter.

  • In their narrow 17-15 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, quarterback Kyler Murray was not sacked, while the Chargers struggled with a depleted receiving corps.

  • Murray has thrown 12 touchdown passes this season and leads the team in rushing yards, contributing significantly to the Cardinals' fifth-ranked rushing attack.

  • Historically, Arizona has performed well as an underdog, with a 5-2 record against the spread this season, including wins over notable teams like the 49ers and Dolphins.

  • They have also secured victories against struggling teams such as the Chicago Bears and New York Jets, both criticized for their coaching.

  • Despite their recent success, the Seattle Seahawks, currently at 5-5, are expected to challenge Arizona's offense with a defensive strategy that could limit their running game.

  • The Seahawks' chances of winning the NFC West are currently estimated at 21.2%, which could increase to 29.4% with a win over the Cardinals.

  • As the Cardinals transition to being slight favorites on the road, the dynamics of their matchup against the Seahawks become increasingly significant.

  • This upcoming game is highlighted as a key matchup with substantial playoff implications for both teams.

  • The Cardinals, who initially struggled this season with three losses in their first four games, are now in a strong position to compete for the division title.
