THE ARIZONA CARDINALS:

Yep, this just might be the biggest thing that could prevent a good Seahawks season from being great. The Cardinals have been a good team the last couple years, on the verge of being great. They have a young, dynamic franchise running back in David Johnson, a veteran QB who might have one of two good years left and is hungry to win a Super Bowl, and maybe the best group of receivers in the league. On top of that, their defense just might rival Seattle’s as the NFC’s best.

It’s possible that the Cardinals are good enough this year to lock up home field advantage in the playoffs. They get the benefit of playing New England in week #1, when they’ll be facing QB Jimmy Garrapolo. Meanwhile Seattle plays them after Brady’s suspension ends.
