How it plays out

Seattle Seahawks vs Arizona Cardinals is a NFC West rivalry game, the kind where the records can go out the window. Seattle Seahawks are favored at 65% (SEA -2), yet Arizona Cardinals's 35% says this is no walkover.

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

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