Seattle Seahawks vs Arizona Cardinals Prediction
The Seattle Seahawks have won 5 straight games against the Cardinals, so history suggests the home team. The problem is the Seahawks have had issues finishing games all year, their defense isn’t as good as it’s been in years past, and the offense has no rushing attack. The Seahawks have also lost 4 straight home games. The Cardinals have caught fire with 4 straight wins and covers, and they’ve had an extra week to prepare for this game. The Cards almost feels too easy. I want little to do with the Seahawks in this spot.
