The latest NFL Sunday concludes in the desert this week when the Arizona Cardinals host their NFC West rivals Seattle Seahawks in what should be a real physical tussle. The Seahawks lead the way in the division and have the chance to take a huge step towards the title here while Arizona found something last week and will hope to maintain their momentum here.
Arizona Cardinals
After their win last week to make it two wins in a row the Cardinals will hope they have turned the corner after a poor start to the season. It must be said though that in San Francisco 49ers and New York Jets they have beaten two relatively weak opponents so they should appreciate the fact they need to improve here.
One positive for them over the entire season has been the form of the leading rusher in the NFL heading into this week in David Johnson. He has matured into a fine back and outside of LeVe’on Bell there might not be a better one in the league. He will need to be at his absolute best if the Cardinals are to prevail here.
Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawks are on a run of three wins in a row with their only defeat of the season coming in a low scoring match against the LA Rams when they were the unlucky ones to be heading to Los Angeles in their first game back in that city. Last week off the bye they overcame the Atlanta Falcons and that is a decent form guide.
We know all about the Seattle defence and they are as strong this season as they have been in previous ones but interestingly with Jimmy Graham on song their offense looks as good if not better than ever which was the concern going into the season given the retirement of Marshawn Lynch.
Betting
The state of the division ensures we’re going to get an exciting Sunday Night Football but for me I have to be on the Seattle Seahawks here. Arizona have built up a bit of a head of steam with back to back wins but Seattle are a different proposition to San Francisco and New York Jets.
Seattle showed their quality when they touched off the Falcons last week and with the way that offense is going right now that is no mean feat. That gives me extra confidence in the Seahawks here. If this comes down to a battle of the quarterbacks the form of Wilson is much the stronger right now but I’m not convinced it will. Seattle look the better side in all departments and odds against is enough to draw me in.
