The Seattle Seahawks (3-5) are on the road against the Arizona Cardinals (5-3) Sunday and are still looking for their first win against a good team.  Their three wins have come against the Rams, Jaguars, and Lions.  Matt Hasselbeck played great last week, setting a franchise record for completions in a game with 39.  It was against the Lions though, so don’t expect another record breaking performance from Hasselbeck.  They will need Hasselbeck to be on top of his game if they want a chance in this one though.  They will also need more out of Julius Jones than they got last week, as he will be needed in this one unlike last week where he only got 36 yards on 16 carries.

The Seahawks defense will need to play one of their best games of the year if they want to even keep it close.  Kurt Warner threw 5 touchdowns against the Bears last week and he has the best receiver in the game to throw to:  Larry Fitzgerald.  Fitgerald is averiging 12 yards per catch and has 7 touchdowns, including 2 last game.  They only average 79 rushing yards per game, so the defense can focus on Warner and the passing game.  The Cardinals offense can really put the points up quick though, so I think the Seahawks will be overmatched.

FINAL SCORE PREDICTION:  Arizona Cardinals 34, Seattle Seahawks 20
