Cardinals vs Seahawks Betting Picks and Prediction for Week 7

Cardinals vs Seahawks Betting Picks and Prediction for Week 7

Written by on October 20, 2023

Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams made it through his first full football game in over 13 months when the Seahawks lost to the Cincinnati Bengals last week. He has had a number of injuries, including a concussion, and his frustration appeared in conflicts with the independent sideline doctor in each of the past two weeks – leading to a $50,000 fine after the Cincinnati game. Against the Bengals, he appeared in 46 of 54 defensive snaps and posted four solo tackles, a quarterback hit, and a tackle for loss. He made an impressive open-field tackle on Trayveon Williams on a screen pass, splitting a pair of offensive linemen to bring him down. Check out our NFL betting preview of this NFC West showdown between Cardinals vs Seahawks.  

Week 7 NFL Cardinals vs Seahawks Betting Odds: Jamal Adams brings speed and solid instincts to the Seattle defense, and it will be interesting to see what havoc he can wreak against an Arizona team still running with a backup quarterback.

Why should you bet on the Arizona Cardinals?

The Arizona Cardinals ride a three-game losing streak to Seattle, falling to the 49ers, the Bengals, and the Rams after upsetting the Cowboys at home. Last week, the Cardinals went to L.A. as 7 ½-point underdogs against the Rams and took an ugly 26-9 beating. In those three losses, the Cardinals have also gone 0-3 against the spread. Joshua Dobbs started the season well, putting up reasonable numbers through his first four games, but against the Bengals, he only completed 49% of his passes, and against the Rams, that number only climbed to 51.2%. He has 1,215 passing yards through six games and a 6:3 TD:INT ratio.

The injury to tailback James Conner took away a lot of the balance of the offense. Now that he is on the IR, Keontay Ingram becomes the featured back, but he has only averaged 2.5 yards per carry. Hollywood Brown is the most frequently targeted receiver, but opposing secondaries are doubling him, which is why he only posted 34 receiving yards last week. These problems have kept the Cardinals at or below 20 points or games for three weeks in a row. On defense, the Cardinals rank 24th against the run and 22nd against the pass. They are giving up 27 points per game while scoring just 19.5, leading to a -7.5 scoring margin per game that should not breed optimism.

Why should you put your money on the Seattle Seahawks?

The Seahawks have a 1-1 record at home this season, following up a disappointing Week 1 setback against the Rams with a nice win over Detroit. On the road, the Seahawks have delivered big wins against Carolina and the Giants. Their loss to Cincinnati last week ended a three-game winning streak. Geno Smith threw for 323 yards but had two interceptions, giving him three on the season, against five touchdown passes. The running game gets more emphasis than the passing game, even though the Seahawks are still waiting for tailback Kenneth Walker III to have a breakout game. So far he has 345 rushing yards, averaging 4.2 yards per carry. D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett have combined for 588 receiving yards so far. The Seahawks’ offense needs more consistency, though, to turn yards into points.

The defense has been stout; the pass defense had been a bit porous but stood tall last week against Joe Burrow, permitting just 185 yards through the air. That effort made them 28th in the league against the pass, which tells you how much more work they have to do to get competitive.

Cardinals vs Seahawks Final Score and Prediction

The Cardinals have taken three straight bad losses, and they face a Seattle team that put up 37 points in their last home game. The Cardinals’ offense is out of balance after the injury to James Conner, so teams are loading the box and pressuring Joshua Dobbs into making mistakes. Geno Smith led Seattle to wins in both meetings against Arizona a year ago. I predict a final score of Seattle 30, Arizona 20.
