- The Cardinals are a 1.5-point home favorite against the Seahawks.
- The Seahawks have won each of their last seven games against the Cardinals.
- My Cardinals vs Seahawks prediction is for the Seahawks (+1.5) to cover the spread.
The Cardinals open their NFC West schedule on Thursday Night Football against the Seahawks.Â
Arizona dropped to 2-1 off a last-second field goal from the 49ers. The result leaves all four NFC West sides above .500 through three games.Â
The Seahawks cruised to an easy win and cover over the Saints in Week 3. It gave Seattle a second straight win scoring 30 or more points.Â

Cardinals vs. Seahawks Prediction
Based on Arizona’s weak metrics against sub-par opposition and Seattle’s defensive strength, my Cardinals vs Seahawks prediction is the Seahawks Spread (+1.5, -110).Â
Without seeing each team’s Week 3 result, an argument exists that the wrong team is favored here.Â
Seattle ranked sixth in DVOA prior to a Week 3 game against New Orleans. That’s not going to change after a 44-13 beatdown of New Orleans.Â
That ranks a spot ahead of Arizona, which has faced an easy start. To open the year, Arizona won two games vs. 1.3 expected wins against New Orleans and Carolina.Â
That’s about as easy a start as any team could face. Now, they run into a Seattle defense with a more accurate picture of its defensive quality.Â
Seattle, exclusive of Week 3, ranks ninth in defensive DVOA, per ftnfantasy.com. Based on 2024 offensive ratings, Seattle has played the harder schedule of the two teams.
Of further concern are the massive injury concerns plaguing Arizona’s secondary. Max Melton, Will Johnson and Garrett Williams all could miss Thursday’s game.Â
That could spell trouble against a Seattle offense quietly 14th in offensive DVOA, exclusive of Week 3.Â
Plus, Seattle dominated this head-to-head meeting last season. The Seahawks finished 2-0 against the Cardinals and have won seven straight against Arizona.Â
History also suggests it’s a good spot to back the Seahawks as road underdogs. Since 2004, dogs between +1 and +3 in games 2-7 are 57-23-2 ATS, assuming two factors:
- The favorite failed to make the postseason the prior season
- The underdog won between 10 and 12 games the prior season
As a result, I like the Seahawks to cover the spread on Thursday Night Football.Â
