This line seems to high for me....I watched the game last year Cardinals played the Seahawks tough physically and won despite Carson Palmers interceptions....I know Stanton hasn't been tested on the road...but Seahawks are not the same team as last year...so why is the line so high??...I get Home field advantage....but 6.5??.....any discussion appreciated....

While I was predicting lines, I thought Seattle would be -2. Since the Seahawks just lost & the Cardinals are coming off a physical game going on the road. This is a must win for the Seahawks. That's why the line is so high. But even with that said, I don't think Seattle's defense is that good anymore. I could see Ellington having his way w/ Membane out for the season. That loss really hurt them, along with the two players they lost to Jags they could use right now (Chris Clemons & Red Bryant). Arizona's defense is nasty. They are number 1 in the NFL in stopping the run. Great matchup but have to take the 6.5. Stanton isn't that bad people.

I have it going under because the Arizona D is strong vs. The run (3rd In yards). The Cardinals give up a little through the air, but isn't a factor here. The cardinals are 3rd in PPG allowed 17.6 while the Seahawks are 12th 21.5PPG allowed. The Seahawks rushing D is now 7th in Yards allowed 90.8 after MEBANE went down Jamaal ripped Em for 158 and 2 TDs. Fortunately, the Cardinals rushing attack hasn't got much going and will continue that trend Sunday. Through the air, the cardinals QB Stanton will fail with accuracy, but makes a play or two deep to move the offense. Seahawks are hungry and the stadium noise will make it difficult on Stanton to make adjustments on the line of scrimmage leading to mistakes and stalled drives. The Seahawks offense against the Cards D won't fear much better because Max Unger, Seahawks Starting Center, went down with serious knee ligament damage in the 4th quarter just before the Chiefs stuffed the Seahawks with just over 7 minutes left and the Seahawks failed 3 fourth down conversions after the injury. Without Unger earlier in the season, the Seahawks struggled to have fluidity. He a two time pro bowl center. Look for a field position battle to ensue all game with both offenses being vanilla and plain out ineffective. Seahawks 19 Cardinals 12 IMO. I have a 3 unit play on this under 41.5

Guru....If I had to make a score it would be 16-13....it's not gonna be a blowout....Arians is such a great coach....I think he will let the defense stop the Hawks and not let Stanton make any mistakes....That is the wild card in this whole game....if Stanton doesn't throw a pick 6 or do something stupid...he could be the difference as he did throwing to Floyd for the 2 TD's against the number 1 defense in the Lions....BUT that was at home...on the road at Seattle might be a different story...I haven't had time to check how Stanton plays on the road in a Hostile environment.....

Stanton's 53% completion percentage and a weak cardinals rushing attack make me weary of the cardinals here. But, the cards D vs. the Seahawks O doesn't make me feel any more confident.

Seattle's WRs are no match for the cardinals corners, so they will be able to focus even more on stopping the run. I also think they will put a spy on russel wilson(most likely the rookie buccanon or maybe Honey Badger) to stop his running game. Cards have been extremely stout vs the run so I dont see lynch going off. Not to mention they just lost their starting center. I'm curious to see how stanton performs in a hostile enviroment. If he doesn't turn it over, I say the cards win straight up. Ellington should be highly effective if hes not too banged up, I see a low scoring affair that could go either way. Will be big on the under 42.5 and arz +6. Sprinkle a bit on the ML as well. I see the same result as last year in Seattle...17-10 cards.

Vegas made the right move, with Hawks at -3 or 4, I think way too many people jump on and cause a inbalanced pool of takers. Now you have a face the tough task of covering a heavy line. I'm not impressed with Hawks defense vs pass this year, but Stanton on road, Larry Fitz a tad beat up, I like Hawks to win this game. Cards squeaked out Eagle game a few weeks ago at home and Austin Davis basically the last 6 minutes, gave them 17 points. Stay away from this game, hate it, but like Hawks -6.5.
