Cardinals

Seahawks

After the first trip of the Arizona Cardinals to Seattle to battle it out with the Seattle Seahawks, it’s time for the Seattle Seahawks to journey to Glendale, Arizona, to take on the Cardinals in the second meeting of these two NFC West competitors in four weeks. As far as NFL matchups go, we will look at how the  NFL betting odds see this one playing out, as well as some handy comments on which way this showdown may go. The Cardinals found little joy in front of home crowds in 2021; is 2022 the year that they can finally turn that unlucky run around? Let’s see how this NFC West game pans out.

The series in this one is as tight as a Kyler Murray spiral, with the Seahawks edging it 23-22 as the 2021 season began. No doubt the result of 4 weeks ago will still lay heavy on the mind of all of those competing, but the Cardinal’s losses in 4 of their last 5 home games to the Seahawks will no doubt weigh even heavier. Kliff Kingsbury’s team will be keen to make a statement early in this matchup and see how one of the weakest defenses in the NFL in 2021 responds to the offensive threat of a proven Cardinals offense.

As a side note, the NFC West has seen some upturn in the last few years, with the Rams winning in 2021 to get their second Super Bowl in the last decade of football. This means there are very strong adversaries in divisional rounds (three of them made the NFL postseason last season), but the Seattle Seahawks have registered their worst season position since the 2002 regrouping of the division. Most of it had to do with the absence of quarterback Russell Wilson, and now, he made an off-season move to the Denver Broncos, leaving the Seahawks with Geno Smith and Drew Lock to try to struggle to the top in 2022.

The Cardinals, on the other hand, have been splitting the victories with the Seahawks for three years on the bounce; their road record has been notably better than their at-home performance which is something to take into account this week in betting, besides the NFL injury report, of course.
One thing is for certain: no one will be hoping for a repeat of October 2016’s 6-6 tie, which couldn’t be settled even in overtime! Four field goals made up the scoreboard, with 0 points registered in quarters 1 and 3 for both sides.

The Cardinals have split the winnings with this week’s opponents for three years on the bounce, with their road record being more impressive than their efforts in front of a home crowd.

Now that you’re aware of the facts that matter for Seattle Seahawks vs Arizona Cardinals, all that remains to be done is to wait for the big confrontation and see who prevails. We advise going against the historical grain and backing the Cardinals to pick up a much-needed home victory against a Seahawks team that has proven to be a thorn in their side for many years. When betting on NFL games, we always recommend you take into account the NFL injury report and keep up-to-date with the NFL schedule for an informed decision.
