NFL Betting Preview: Arizona Cardinals vs. Seattle Seahawks

October 22, 2023


A pair of NFC West teams will face each other in week 7 of the NFL season when the Arizona Cardinals travel to Seattle, Washington to face the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field on Sunday afternoon at 4:05 PM ET with the game airing regionally on Fox.

The Arizona Cardinals enter this game with a record of 1-5 following a 9-26 loss on the road against the Los Angeles Rams while failing to cover the 7-point spread as a road underdog in week 6 of the NFL season. Arizona scored 9 points while compiling a total of 345 yards offensively which included 235 passing yards and 130 rushing yards while allowing 26 points and 382 total yards defensively which included 226 passing yards and 179 rushing yards. Joshua Dobbs led the team in passing, completing 21 of 41 attempts for 235 yards and an interception while also leading the team in rushing with 47 yards off seven attempts. Trey McBride led the team in receiving, catching four of five targets for 62 yards.

Seattle enters this game with a record of 3-2 following a 13-17 loss on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals while failing to cover the 3-point spread as a road underdog in week 6 of the NFL season. The Seahawks scored 13 points while compiling a total of 381 yards offensively which included 323 passing yards and 87 rushing yards while allowing 17 points and 214 total yards defensively which included 185 passing yards and 46 rushing yards. Geno Smith led the team in passing, completing 27 of 41 attempts for 323 yards and two interceptions while adding 20 yards rushing off four attempts. Kenneth Walker III led the team in rushing with 19 carries for 62 yards and a touchdown while adding three receptions for 27 yards. Tyler Lockett led the team in receiving, catching six of eight targets for 94 yards.

BookMaker has the Seattle Seahawks listed as 7.5-point favorites at home against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday afternoon in week 7 of the NFL season. Seattle has won seven of the last ten including the previous three games in a row in the series. Both teams are 5-5 ATS in the last ten matchups while the Seahawks are 3-0 ATS in the last three meetings. Arizona is 3-3 ATS overall, 1-2 ATS on the road, 3-3 ATS as an underdog, and 0-2 ATS in division games this season while the Seattle Seahawks are 3-2 ATS overall, 1-1 ATS at home, 2-1 ATS as a favorite, and 0-1 ATS in division games on the year.

Arizona is one of the worst teams in the NFL and has struggled in the series against Seattle losing seven of the last ten including the last three meetings in a row. The Seahawks have been the better team at covering the spread most recently in the series, going 3-0 ATS in the last three games in the series. I am buying the .5 point and laying the 7 points with the Seattle Seahawks when they host the Arizona Cardinals in week 7 of the NFL season.
