Betting on the Arizona Cardinals (6-2 SU, 5-3 ATS)
The Cardinals have won two straight including their convincing 34-20 over Cleveland in Week 8 while covering the NFL betting line with room to spare as a 7-point road favorite. The Cardinals overcame a 20-10 halftime deficit by scoring 24 points in the second half while shutting the Browns out. Carson Palmer completed 23 of 38 for 374 yards with four touchdowns and one interception. Palmer tossed three touchdown passes in the second half. “We had more energy in the second half,” Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said. “We had better tackling defensively. Offensively we started making plays. We had three wide-open touchdown passes in the first half we don’t normally miss.” Veteran running back Chris Johnson continued his stellar campaign by rushing for 109 yards on 30 carries while wide receiver Malcolm Floyd caught four passes for 106 yards and one score. Arizona ranks second in scoring (32.9 ppg) and seventh in points allowed (19.1 ppg).Betting on the Seattle Seahawks (4-4 SU, 2-5-1 ATS)
The Seahawks have won two in a row including their narrow 13-12 win over Dallas in Week 8, although they failed to cover the spread as a 4.5-point road favorite. Russell Wilson completed 19 of 30 passes for 210 yards with one touchdown and one interception while adding 32 rushing yards on six carries while running back Marshawn Lynch added 71 yards on 21 carries. Defensively, the Seahawks limited Cowboys quarterback Matt Cassel to just 97 yards passing in the ‘ugly’ win. The victory got Seattle back to .500 for the first time in over a month. “We made it back to even,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. “I don’t think it feels much different than last year. It’s very similar.” Seattle was lifted to victory when veteran kicker Steven Hauschka nailed the go-ahead field goal from 24 yards out with 1:06 remaining to provide the final margin. “We are lucky that we finished the game with a win, with Steven kicking the field goal,” Wilson said. “Offensively, we were moving the ball pretty well. We had some rough plays on third down, but when we needed it we converted and made the plays on the last drive.” Wilson, who has been sacked a league-high 31 times, was sacked just once against the Cowboys. “The offensive line was phenomenal,” Wilson said. “No sacks. They really stepped up.”
