Best Bets – Cardinals Vs. Seahawks – Where Should You Put Your Money Down?

Record: 4-2

Unit +-: +1.6

Two-Leg Teaser (-110 on ESPN BET)

Seahawks +6

The Seahawks, fresh off a crucial win over the 49ers, have a chance to take sole possession of the NFC West with a win over the Cardinals and a Rams loss. History favors Seattle, as they’ve bested Arizona in their last four meetings. Additionally, the Cardinals have struggled on the road, with a disappointing 4-8 record in their last 12 away games. The Seahawks’ recent momentum, coupled with Arizona’s inconsistency on the road, makes taking the points with Seattle a strong play.

Under 53.5

The total opened at 45 before quickly jumping to 47, reflecting heavy public action. While the public’s input is worth noting, the original line from Vegas often holds key insights. Divisional games like this traditionally lean toward the under, which I think played a huge factor in this line opening at 45. Recent matchups between these teams have also favored the under, with the last three meetings comfortably staying below 53.5 points. This trend, combined with the nature of divisional football, makes the under an appealing choice for this leg of the teaser.

Kenneth Walker Over 62.5 Rushing Yards (-114 on Fanduel)

Kenneth Walker has been a standout performer this season and finds himself in a favorable matchup against a Cardinals run defense that ranks in the bottom half of the league in opponent rushing yards per game. Arizona’s struggles are amplified on the road, where they’ve been even less effective against the run. In their last road outing, they allowed Devon Achane to rack up 97 yards on just 10 carries—an alarming 9.7 yards per attempt.

Given the stakes of this divisional game, the Seahawks are likely to lean on their ground game early and often, providing Walker with ample opportunities to exploit a vulnerable defense. With his combination of power and explosiveness, Walker is well-positioned to surpass this modest rushing total.

Kenneth Walker anytime touchdown (-145 on Fanduel)

Walker leads all players in touchdown odds for this matchup. He has had success finding the end zone this season, scoring 8 times already. The Cardinals’ defense further boosts his appeal, as they rank eighth-worst in the league in rushing touchdowns allowed per game. With Walker’s nose for the end zone and Arizona’s struggles to contain opposing rushers, he’s a prime candidate to score again this week.
