Coming into Week 7 with a one-game lead in the NFC West, the Seattle Seahawks will be looking to grow their lead over the Cardinals, who sit one win behind them in the standings. To be blunt, the Seahawks have beaten the living crap out of the Cards in Arizona in their last three matchups there, going 3-0 SU and ATS, outscoring them 105-34.
After a brutal start, the Cardinals might finally be back on track after two straight wins and covers. The wins did come against lesser competition in the 49ers and Jets, so we’ll see what they’re really made of against a Seattle defense that ranks in the top five in points allowed, and rushing and receiving yards allowed per game.
Arizona opened as the favorite despite being on the wrong side of multiple one-sided beatdowns at the hands of the Seahawks. Carson Palmer has struggled in his career vs Seattle, posting a 2-3 SU record along with seven TDs and 10 INTs. Russell Wilson has come out on top more often than not in this matchup, going 5-3 SU with 13 TDs and four INTs. During Seattle's three-game win streak in Arizona, Wilson has eight TDs and 0 picks, and even more impressive, in his last five regular season road games, he has 14 TDs and 0 picks.
The game opened with a total of 43.5, which is a mark these teams topped just three times in their last 10 games against each other.
