Seattle Seahawks (-7) over Arizona Cardinals

This line stinks, and in an unusual way. Arizona is 9-1, but they are getting a touchdown on the road against a Seattle team that hasn’t been terribly impressive in compiling a 6-4 record. In a vacuum, you would assume that Arizona would be given slightly more respect, but the Seahawks are getting “the nod” from Vegas here, and I agree.

Seattle is the team that I “trust” more, especially with Drew Stanton at the helm for Arizona. More than that, though, the action is going the wrong way for Cardinals supporters, as the line opened at 6 points and has since continued to move toward Seattle despite public sentiment to the contrary.

It seems wrong to lay a touchdown against a 9-1 team, but this is a spot where Vegas seems to prevail. Roll with them.

Next: Miami Dolphins
