Arizona comes into this matchup after a crazy win over Dallas and they have won two of their last three games. The Cardinals are 3-2 on the road, while the Seahawks are 3-2 at home. Seattle has lost three of their last four games and they have scored 20 points or fewer in three straight. The Seahawks will be going with Drew Lock at quarterback, which isn’t great news for an already struggling offense. Take the points with Arizona on the road.

Positive Trends

When looking at the trends, I am comfortable taking the Cardinals here. The road team has covered the spread in seven of Arizona’s last eight game. Seattle is just 1-5 against the spread in their last six games and they have not played well in the first quarter following a home loss. The Seahawks also really struggle getting stops on fourth down, which could be a factor if Arizona stays aggressive. Take the Cardinals and the points in this one.
