With Lindley taking over at QB, now even more pressure is going to be put on the Cardinals defense to completely carry the entire load for this team. The Arizona tough defense and great special teams is what is going to keep this home dog in the game today. Lindley was 4-for-10 for 30 yards when he was called upon last week after Drew Stanton got hurt, and there's talk out of Arizona that they may have a "package" for rookie quarterback Logan Thomas (Virginia Tech) who can run and pass to take advantage of his mobility on Sunday. Also note the home team has won 7 of the last 10 meetings in this series and the Cardinals are unbeaten at home, I'll take my chances. The Arizona defense is one of the best in the league, and even if they only score 7-10 points in this game, their defensive presence alone against a very average Seattle offense should keep this game close. Seattle with Marshawn Lynch boast the NFL's top running attack at 169 yards a game, but the strength of the Cardinals defense is still their defensive line and their run defense, so they'll likely try and find a way to make Russell Wilson beat them by throwing it. Arizona is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games. Seattle is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games played during Week 16. Take the Cardinals here on Sunday night primetime action.
