Cardinals vs Seahawks Prediction

The current betting odds have the Cardinals listed as a 1 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Cardinals have looked good in their games this season with their 6-4 record overall which has them leading the NFC West at the moment. It is a really tight division they play in with the worst team being 5-5, but the Cardinals have looked like the best team in the division lately. They have a ton of momentum on their side with 4 wins in a row now and they are coming out of their bye week so they have had extra time to prepare for this game. Meanwhile, the Seahawks have looked good in their games this season with their 5-5 record overall which has them right in the NFC West race, but this is not where they want to be after a 3-0 start to the season. The wheels have been falling off this team for weeks and they have looked worse in their home games this year with their 2-4 home record. They are coming off a nice win on the road against the 49ers in their last one, but the 49ers haven't looked quite right this season either. This Cardinals team has been rolling lately and the offense has been clicking at every turn. The Seahawks can put up a ton of points as they also have a lot of talent on offense, but they have also been so inconsistent this season. The Cardinals will be looking to stay on their run out of the bye week and they have a real opportunity to get a grip on the NFC West with another divisional win here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Cardinals to cover the spread in this game. 

Cardinals Seahawks Prediction:  Our NFL Pick for Sunday, November 24, 2024 (4:25 pm ET start time) is Cardinals 28 Seahawks 20.
