It’s tough to beat an NFL team twice in the regular season, even tougher to do it on the road and even tougher when they are desperate. The Cardinals need to beat the Seahawks to have a chance at winning the division, and their 6-6 record is not indicative of the team’s quality. Kenneth Walker is out for Seattle; he was responsible for 33% the Seahawks’ yards in their first meeting, which totaled 22 points. Originally was not planning to take Arizona past -2.5, but Walker’s absence and James Conner’s return to form are enough to make a play. Just don’t see the Cardinals offense laying another egg for the second time in three weeks.

When two division rivals are evenly matched, which I believe these are, then it's so tough to sweep the season series -- especially when the two games take place over the span of only a few weeks like this does. If the Cardinals only allow 16 points again like they did in Week 12, I definitely think they win this time. No Kenneth Walker or starting CB Tre Brown for Seattle. While I'm obviously not on the spread, the Cards are 3-0 SU & ATS in last 3 home games, their longest such streak in home games since 2014.

I know Trey McBride hasn’t scored all year, but today is the day that changes. Really nice price at huge plus money.

The last time these teams met in Week 12, they played to a grinding 16-6 affair. Both the Seahawks and Cardinals have played to the Under in four of their last five games. This Seahawks secondary is one of the best in league when healthy, behind CBs Riq Woolen, Devon Witherspoon, and FS Julian Love. Seattle will be without RB Kenneth Walker, which could force their offense into ‘3rd and long’ often. Against division foes this year, the Cardinals held the Rams to 10, a much healthier 49ers team to 23, and the Seahawks to 16. I see this being a competitive one-possession game that stays under the total.

There probably was not a team that played well, and still lost last week like the Arizona Cardinals. They controlled the game against Minnesota for almost the entirety, before a collapse in the fourth quarter. I expect a bit of a letdown early on against a Seattle team that defeated them two weeks ago. Additionally, the Seahawks defense limited Arizona to just six points in the win, and scored a defensive touchdown. Grab the points with Seattle.

Only two weeks ago, these teams combined for 22 points. There is little reason to believe they will double the total in a rapid turn-around. Both defenses were trending in a desirable direction before the first meeting. Seattle must toil without top RB Kenneth Walker, and effective edge rusher Uchenna Nwosu has been activated off I.R. QB Geno Smith has been sharp, but Walker's absence should allow the 'Zona defense to focus on pass prevention. Cardinals QB Kyler Murray has slumped, throwing three interceptions with one TD pass in the last two outings.

I like the Cardinals at home in this spot coming off a very tough loss in Minnesota. The Cardinals play better at home and the Seahawks offense hasn't looked particularly good. Now that Kenneth Walker has been ruled out, I think they'll have even more trouble moving the ball and I think Kyler and company exact their revenge for their loss against the Seahawks just two weeks ago. The Seahawks are trending lately, particularly on defense, but they'll hit a roadblock in Arizona on Sunday.

Let's toss Conner's dud performance two weeks ago against Seattle where Arizona abandoned their run game for some reason. The Seahawks' defense can be exploited by opposing running backs as ten have topped this combo line this year. Conner is over this in 8 of 12 games in 2024 and should see plenty of volume with Arizona's NFC West chances all but dead with a loss this week.

He has 12 catches or more in two straight games, including one against Seattle. The Cardinals could not move the ball on the ground at all vs the reworked Seahawks front and that may well be the case again here. So Kyler Murray will look to forcefeed his TE again. Seattle LBs not as good in coverage and still have to worry about Kyler's legs. I like the TE to get double-digit targets. He averaged 6.6 catches per game and in tight games tends to see the most action. With the division on the line, I see him featured heavily in the game plan and Kyler loves finding him on scramble drills.

We are already on the ML here, but wanted to jump this if it got to a field goal, also. Geno Smith has owned the Cardinals, Kyler Murray has looked suspect in the second half of games in two straight weeks (including one vs Seattle already) and the Seahawks improved LBs bottled up the Cards run game in Seattle. I believe they can do it again here and continue to their run of dominance in this series. Seattle well equipped to win a low scoring game and have a few more play makers to get it done.

The Cardinals look to have paybacks on their minds against the Seahawks, who are 4-1 away from Seattle. But they're only 5-6-1 against the spread. The Cards are 8-4 ATS. The Seahawks have won three straight games and are in first place in the NFC West. The Cardinals have lost two in a row on the road after a four-game win streak. I look for the Cardinals' No. 6 rushing game and James Conner to take over several drives in the game. Cardinals win.

These two teams played two weeks ago in a tough, defensive game, with the Seahawks defense allowing just 131 yards through Arizona's first eight drives before the Cardinals moved the ball a bit in the fourth quarter. The Cardinals again had troubles reaching the end zone last week, scoring one touchdown and five FGs in a close loss, while the Seahawks won a sloppy road game against the Jets. Right now it looks like Seattle is the better team and already proved a tough matchup, so I love catching the full field goal on this line.

Geno Smith is 5-0 as a Seahawk at Arizona, with 4 of those wins by 10 points or more. Seattle just beat AZ at home two weeks ago and shut their run game down. Kyler Murray is 5-11 ATS as a home favorite and 3-7 ATS in the last 10 in that spot, and I don’t think we will need the 1-2 points here. Kyler is 1-5 SU in his last 6 as a home favorite. Seattle buying in bigtime to their rookie coach since their bye and Mike Macdonald’s defenses in Baltimore notoriously got better in the second half of the season. Hawks have won 6 in a row and 7 of the last 8 in this series.

We loved the under when these team met in Seattle two weeks ago and we love it even more here/ That game produced just 22 points and neither team managed 300 net yards. Ten of the last 15 games in this series have gone under (on average by 3.4 points), with those games closing on average at 46.7 points. In Geno Smith’s 5 career starts vs Arizona as a Seahawks, 4 have gone under (on average by a whopping 12.8 points), and he is under in 3 of his last 4 starts as a road dog within the NFC West. Both offenses are spotty. This was 46.5 on Sunday AM and going down.
