Seahawks Vs. Cardinals: Odds, Analysis, Picks For ‘Sunday Night Football’ Game
Editor’s note: NESN.com’s Mike Cole, Ricky Doyle and Andre Khatchaturian deliver their NFL picks every Thursday of the season, and here’s who they like in the Seattle Seahawks-Arizona Cardinals Week 7 game, with the line from OddsShark.
Seattle Seahawks (4-1) at (-2) Arizona Cardinals (3-3), Sunday, 8:30 p.m.
Mike: Seahawks. Michael Bennett is the key here. If he plays — and it sounds like he will — he’s key to helping the Seahawks stop the run. If they can do that, I like Seattle’s chances against an Arizona aerial attack that’s been largely grounded this season.
Ricky: Cardinals. An NFC Championship preview? The Cardinals seem like they’re hitting their stride after some early-season struggles. Arizona’s opportunistic defense — an NFL-best 14 takeaways — will be the difference in a prime-time matchup in the desert.
Andre: Cardinals. The Seahawks only have four five-minute drives all season and I don?t see that changing much against a Cardinals secondary (nine interceptions, which leagues the league) that?s going up against a pretty ?meh? Seahawks receiving corps. On the other side of the ball, David Johnson is leading the league in rushing touchdowns. The Cardinals will control the clock and come away with a close win. The football gods also are going to make the NFC West close at the end of the year. A Seahawks win will prevent that.
