Seahawks 31, Cardinals 20

Tim Weaver, Seahawks Wire

Seahawks 18, Cardinals 17

I’m predicting this is going to be one of those really ugly classic Arizona at Seattle games. Lots of punting, injuries, and runs up the middle for no gain. Ultimately it could come down to Jason Myers against Matt Prater, which is a pretty decent kicker faceoff but doesn’t make for great TV. Seattle’s defense is going in the right direction and their offensive line is keeping a low lid on their ceiling on that side, so I’d bet the under.

NFL Network analysts

Four of them, though, believe the Cardinals will cover the 7.5 or 8.5-point spread.
