How it plays out

Arizona Cardinals vs Seattle Seahawks is a NFC West rivalry game, the kind where the records can go out the window. This projects as a coin flip, 52-48 with the spread at ARI -0.5. Only 1 spot separate them in the power rankings, about as even as it gets.

Tactically, Arizona Cardinals will want to lean on star young WR to attack Seattle Seahawks, whose red-zone offense is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Seattle Seahawks's 12th-man edge could punish Arizona Cardinals if line play goes unaddressed. Expect both staffs, Jonathan Gannon and Mike Macdonald, to script around exactly that battle.

Keep an eye on Kyler Murray (QB) and Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. With Cardinals at home, the model already bakes in roughly a field-goal's worth of home-field edge.
