Seahawks at Cardinals odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Cardinals 27, Seahawks 16
Money line
The Seahawks have only lost twice to the Cardinals in State Farm Stadium since Wilson’s career started. The Cardinals are 3-4 at home this season and Seattle is 3-5 away from home. Seattle has lost two of its last three games and allowed 23 to the Cardinals in Week 9 — but it could have been 30 if Matt Prater had not missed an extra point and two field goals.
The Cardinals got their offense back on track last week and are playing for a division title. While a few players are out for the Cards, Seattle will struggle to make plays without Wagner in the middle of the defense.
Take the CARDINALS (-240).
Against the spread
The Seahawks are 8-8 ATS on the season but failed to cover the spread in their game against the Cardinals in Seattle.
The Cardinals are 10-6 ATS this season. They have the defense playing well and the offense back on track.
The Cardinals have covered the spread in all but one of their victories this season.
Take the CARDINALS -5.5 (-108).
Over/Under
Four of the Seahawks’ last five games have gone Over the projected total but only one other game all year has.
The last three games for the Cardinals stayed Under the projected total and their game in Seattle went Under.
Take UNDER 47.5 (-105).
