I'm not saying Arizona will win but I think this will be a close one. Anyone betting the Dirty Birds to cover a 6pt spread on the road wants their head examined. They may do it but you would be in the grubber if u were betting them on the road in the past to cover the spread.
Also this is a place where they have struggled. They have lost 8 out of their last 10 visits here. They lost here last season.
PLus the Cardinals are getting all their players back week by week and are getting better. They have won their two home games, against the Lions and the Panthers, played really well for three quarters at San Francisco at the weekend.
I like their defense a lot. Yes Palmer is a pick machine on offense but he is also capable on his day and Larry Fitzgerald is a class act.
The Dirty Birds wee not that impressive at the weekend and they don't have their injuries to seek. It's certainly weakened them at Linebacker and on the defense line. They will try and stop the run and force Palmer to beat them through the air.
I can see this being a brutal game. But I'm not having the Dirty Birds as 6pt favs and there are plenty reasons for thinking the Cardinals will cover this, and some.
BIG BET ON THE ARIZONA CARDINALS +6 at 10-11

The Falcons are known as the Dirty Birds, not the Seahawks

I am taking on the 6.5 spread. Seahawks are a class act. Their road woes must end soon. I am well impressed with Russell Wilson.

Some smashmouth football, nice
 Be careful. Palmer likes to give the ball away and the Seahawks like taking it away! Seattle has a decent pass rush and the prospect of Palmer, behind that O line, throwing against that secondary, trying to find a gimpy Fitz, is troubling. I really like Andre Ellington, but he'll find it tough tonight, forcing Palmer downfield. The Cards do have a decent D and the short week plays well for the home team, but Lynch and Wilson can keep the chains moving. If Calais Campbell is out, that will hurt the Cardinals. Palmer will throw at least two picks giving the Seahawks a short field, and Wilson can get it done - they look a TD better. Maybe a little Unders? Bonne chance |

Incorrect. Seattle are 11-7 ATS on the road since 2011. "Also this is a place where they have struggled. They have lost 8 out of their last 10 visits here. They lost here last season" They lost narrowly due to a crucial dropped pass. This was also week 1 and debut for Wilson. Theyplayed again 3 months later and Seattle won 58-0 "PLus the Cardinals are getting all their players back week by week and are getting better." Seattle have Miller and Clements back this week. "They will try and stop the run and force Palmer to beat them through the air." Cards have no running game and the 'pick machine' Palmer will find it tough against the best secondary in the league. "I can see this being a brutal game. But I'm not having the Dirty Birds as 6pt favs and there are plenty reasons for thinking the Cardinals will cover this, and some." I agree it will be a brutal game and the fact is it a divisional game means it shouldn't be a blowout, but I think Seattle cover tonight. GL |

I recall a match between arizona and seattle either last season or the year before, in arizona,they kept shutting out the seahawks inside the 5 time and time again,cards made a habit of doing that.

That was Week 1 last year Harry. Seahawks had 7 consec plays in the Redzone (incl 1st-&-Goal from the 6) and couldn't finish it. They're a bit better now though.
The Seahawks have shown that their road woes are not going to bother this side and I think they win well tonight, double figures anyway. Palmer isn't good enough to keep the Cards in it IMO. |

If ever there was a case to not now, or ever, bet the point spread, this game is the poster boy. Too many ifs and I don't knows. How will the Cardinal O line hold up ? When Seattle blitzes, can Palmer hit the outside 1 on 1. His money in the bank ( Fitzgerald) will be covered like a blanket by an all star, just waiting for the INT, probably baiting with some loose coverage. What will Seattle do when their run game is stiffed ? How is Wilson when he has to throw, and the Cards will know it.
All games come down to a couple of key matchups. Larry will effectively be taken out of the game. Seattle will apply heat to Palmer, which he has shown for years he continually makes bad split second decisions. If Arizona shuts down the run, Seattle will find a way to let Wilson run loose and find gaps behind the line. It looks like it might be a 6+ win for Seattle to me, but I only bet the spread if I like the dog to win outright. I took the 1.46 ML on Seattle, it's 1.47 now. The guy who hates the dirty birds will give the 6 points, for you point spread betters, take the hint. Swardean did an excellent job of countering all his points why Arizona is a bet. Anyone who bets the spread and wins, hats off to you. I can't do it. |

By:
OOPS. The guy who hates the dirty birds will take the 6 points tonight.
|

By:
Agree completely Still Standing......just don't get betting the spread, unless I genuinely fancy the underdog to win outright - then its a bonus.
|
|
By:
Line now down to +4.5. I am so tempted...
|
|
By:
even if seattle lose swardean,we know it won't be by more than 7,never is

By:
The seattle secondary will have a field day..

By:
Whether I'm right or wrong, the market clearly agrees with me. All u hawk backers should be cleaning up. I'm very happy to keep Arizona on side and more than happy with Arizona +6. This is going to be a very close game

By:
I THINK ODDS WILL INCREASE ON SEATTLE WHY SETTLE FOR THE 1.46. ARIZONA SCORE EARLY AND SEATTLE GO 3 AND OUT U CAN GET EVENS. JUST WAIT IN PLAY.

Arizona + 12.5 looks tempting to me

THURS NIGHT FOOTBALL IS PI$$ POOR THE SOOR THEY CHANGE IT THE BETTER

No way Seattle goes to 3 if Zona scores a TD first.
|

By:
EVENS NOT 3

By:
Right Bean. Sorry about that. It's moot now, but I think they would have been 1.80 ish

WHO YOU ON??

Wilson was outstanding there

THAT DRIVE WAS WAY TOO EASY NO BET SO FAR BUT IF SEATTLE CHOKE ZONA OFFENSIVELY ITS BED TIME
|

By:
LOOKS LIKE CARDS AINT COVERING JACK TONIGHT
|

By:
BED TIME NO VALUE BET TO SEE HERE GOOD LUCK CARDS +6 BACKERS ITS GONNA BE A LOOOOONG NIGHT
|

By:
great throw again

Could be another 58-0 this complete men against boys.
|
|
By:
It looks like men vs boys, but greed kills, and this is the NFL. I put my tail between my legs and got out @ 1.10. Then on the next play, Hawks score a TD, I'm cursing myself, and the price goes to 1.12 Go figure.

Hey punk, we come up with the men against boys saying at the same time.

This Cards D would struggle to contain the Jags tonight
Bell tried harder to stamp on the reciever than he id to actually tackle him!! |
|
By:
For those looking for a competitive match the Hurricanes are in a good game with North Carolina right now
|
|
By:
Yeah still standing gotta admit I thought the Cards plus the points was the play tonight was the play but its been a total mismatch so far.
I know its the NFL but cant see them getting back into it Seattle maybe value in-running could be a rout. |
|
By:
I'm not getting back in, but it would be a golden opportunity to take some Seattle if Zona scores here.
|
|
By:
free Ellington

By:
Value play now is Seattle @ 1.07. Arizona might not get the ball again this half, Seattle gets it first next half. The score could easily be 28 - 3
