Seahawks vs. Cardinals Prediction
I’m on the Seahawks here. I think this is one of those division games where it could be decided by a point on a last-second field goal which is why I want the points in my back pocket. These two teams met in a bit of a slugfest a couple of weeks ago, and I think that this has 24-23 written all over it. Give me the Seahawks and the points.
Chris’s Pick Seattle +2.5
