The Arizona Cardinals are looking to enter the playoffs rolling and have to play the Seattle Seahawks to close the season out. The Cardinals beat the Seahawks 23-13 in the first meeting and will have to contain D.K. Metcalf again.

Seattle's season has been a disaster and it seems like Russell Wilson is out the door. In what could be Wilson's last game as a Seahawk, can Seattle send him off the right way?

Here are the odds for their matchup via WynnBET.

Seahawks vs. Cardinals Prediction and Pick

Earlier this week, Iain MacMillan sided with the Cardinals to end the season on a high note.

The Seahawks, offensively, have look good at times this season, but their third down issues have plagued them all year. They're 27th in the league in third down conversion rating, getting a first down on just 35.36% of tries. That's a stark contrast to the Cardinals, who rank 5th in that stat, converting on 44.83% of third downs. ...I'm going to try not to overthink this one, and back the playoff team in Arizona.

I'm siding with MacMillan on this one. The Seahawks put up 50 points last week, but that's because they were playing the Detroit Lions. The Cardinals' held the Cowboys to 22 points last week and can do the same to the Seahawks this week.

Arizona needs this win more than Seattle with seeding on the line. I expect the Cardinals to come out motivated and ready to stay high in the bracket.

Pick: Cardinals -6.5 (-110)
