12/9 NFL Arizona +7.5 @ Seattle

[Spartacus]

Arizona probably can't catch Seattle in the NFC West, but they would love to knock their division rivals down a peg Sunday. Arizona has won and covered the past two meetings, but they have lost four straight trips to Seattle. The Seahawks have won and covered four straight overall this season.

Oddsmakers currently have the Seahawks listed as 7-point favorites versus the Cardinals, while the game's total is sitting at 44½.

The Cardinals defeated Cleveland 27-21 as a pick'em in Week 13. The combined score fell UNDER the posted over/under total (52).

Kurt Warner threw for 169 yards with two touchdown passes and an interception for Cleveland, while Edgerrin James rushed for 114 yards on 24 carries.

The Seahawks defeated Philadelphia 28-24 as a 3-point underdog in Week 13. The combined score went OVER the posted over/under total (41).

Matt Hasselbeck completed 19-of-24 passes for 187 yards with two touchdowns and an interception for Seattle, while Lofa Tatupu had three interceptions in the win

Arizona beat Seattle 23-20 at home in week 2 but the Seahawks are an improving team and should get their revenge at home. Arizona is a decent team, but the loss of receiver Anquan Boldin, and possibly Larry Fitzgerald, will hurt the pass attack. Arizona was only 0.2 yards per pass play worse without Boldin in weeks 4 through 6 but the Cardinals’ attack is much worse without Fitzgerald, whose 8.5 yards per pass thrown to him is considerably better than Boldin’s 7.4 ypa and Bryant Johnson’s 6.6 ypa. My math model favors Seattle by 7 ½ points with Fitzgerald playing and by 9 points if Fitzgerald does not play. Either way, I’ll lean slightly with Seattle to get their revenge and lock of their division.
