We are assuming the Cardinals will not have another down year. That being said, the Seahawks -- like the Colts -- have avoided a brutal stretch altogether in this year's schedule. Most of their harder games are fairly isolated. The season opener against the Packers on the road is not enviable, but the following week Seattle hosts the 49ers. A game against the Titans in Nashville will be a test, as will the following week against the Colts. After that? A short road trip to play the Jeff Fisher-less Rams in Los Angeles. A cross-country trip to face the stout Giants is followed by very winnable games at home against the Texans and Redskins. A "Thursday Night Football" matchup against the Cardinals gives the 'Hawks a 10-day rest before facing the defending NFC Champion Falcons on "Monday Night Football" (another 49ers game follows that). Assuming Russell Wilson and Seattle can rip off a few winning streaks, they could be in better shape than the Cardinals. Arizona opens with two games on the road (Lions and Colts) before facing the Cowboys at home on "Monday Night Football."
