Arizona Cardinals vs Seattle Seahawks Prediction
You can make a case for the Seattle Seahawks and the points because they’re 4-1 SU on the road and just beat the Cardinals a couple of weeks ago. The problem is the Cardinals had their chances to win that game on the road and this time they’re at home where they’ve won 3 straight. I don’t trust the Seahawks’ offensive line or their defense. The underdog has covered 7 of the last 10 games between the Seahawks and Cardinals. The Cardinals are coming off back-to-back losses, but they were both competitive and on the road. Coming back home, this feels like a spot where the Cards get right. I’ll lay the small chalk.
