The Seahawks and Cardinals were supposed to spend the season fighting it out for the top spot in the NFC West, but the Cardinals didn’t play up to expectations, and they’ll enter the game with just five wins. Seattle, on the other hand, will be on a quest to complete an 8-0 SU season at home and continue its push for a first-round playoff bye.
- The Cardinals are 1-4 ATS in their last five games against the Seahawks.
- The total has gone UNDER in 13 of the Seahawks' last 17 games in December.
- The Cardinals are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games after consecutive losses.
The Seahawks have been a difficult team to handicap, especially lately as they’ve rotated disappointing losses and blowout wins in their past four games, but at home in December they’ve been breaking the bank as they’re now 19-5 ATS in their last 24 December home games. The Cardinals have been an awful bet on the road, going just 1-5 SU and ATS. Three of those five losses were by double digits and the defense is allowing 29.7 points in road games — fourth-worst in the NFL.
With a total hovering in the ballpark of 43.5 points, bettors will be interested to know that the Cardinals have gone OVER in all six of their road games this season, while Seattle has gone OVER in four of their last six at home. The teams combined for a grand total of 12 points in their first matchup of the season.
