A big NFC West rivalry game. Arizona is out of any playoff race, but is well coached, and has a chance to inflict some pain on its first-place rival. Arizona is 12-4 ATS after allowing 250+ yards passing, plus on a 12-5 ATS run in December. The Cardinals have talent on defense, fourth in the NFL in yards allowed, #12 against the run, and fifth against the pass. They are excellent at rushing the passer and face a weak Seattle offensive line, a tough matchup for the home team that ranks #20 in rushing the football and #22 in points scored. The Seahawks are 3-7 ATS following a spread cover. These teams tied 6-6 in the first meeting, though the Cardinals dominated the game with an edge in yards 443-257, including going 10-of-21 on third down against this great Seattle defense. Seattle was just 3-of-14 on third down and averaged 2.7 yards per rush. The road team has covered four straight when these rivals clash, and make it five straight here. Play Arizona.
