After pulling out the win on Monday night, the Cardinals now have a very important stretch of 3 games coming up. They go to Seattle, at home against the Giants and at Philly on Thanksgiving. The Cards could lose all 3 very easily and be right back at .500. Although they still may win the division if this happens, they sure as heck will not be in a good position come playoff time.
It may be unlikely, but the Cardinals have a shot at getting a first round bye after moving to 6-3. Only the Giants and Panthers have better records than them so it is conceivable they could move ahead of one of them and have a week off come playoff time. At the very least the Cardinals will host a playoff game if they win the division (which hasn't happened since like 1904 or something). If the Cards can win at least one of these games they will be in good shape for the rest of their schedule, which includes home games against the Rams, Vikings and Seahawks.
