Cdog and Mavs don't forget that this ari team was 9-7 last season in a HORRIBLE division.  Only three of their wins last year came out of the division.  That  being  said they did get very hot in the playoffs and got to play two good teams at home where it is true they are very good.  Sea on the another hand is a team that is very balanced.  Haselback will tear this zona secondary apart as they give up 300+ yards a game.  Sea is also extremely good at home over the past  few seasons.  They beat a average JAX team by 41 points.  It comes down to if a number seems too good to be true there is a reason, look at last night with the jets at only -1 when the  lined opened last sunday night.  I see a 24-17 SEA win.  also look to fade ARI the following week when they have to fly to the east coast to play the NYG   

What's up Coloneljim, you got it right, but i see a 21-20 score and Seatte wins.

no play for me tho.

Quick note: why make a small play on any game that is too difficult to pick?  Save it for a game you're 'sure' of.  Small plays just to play don't make a good gambler.

I wanted to pick AZ in this one, but here's why I don't like them in this spot.

They were beat bad in Week 3 by INDY, as they were heading into a bye. 

Coming out of that bye, they squeaked by Houston.  When I say squeaked, I mean they scored the winning TD with about 2 minutes left in the game, on a 50 yd. interception return.  That also happened to be their only 2nd half points.  Nothing from the Offense.  Then HOU got the ball back and got all the way to the 1, but couldn't punch it in.

In another universe HOU would have won that game. 

Couple that with the return of Hassleback, coming off a monster performance, and AZ's poor pass D, I have to go with Seattle.

Plus, SEA is heading into a bye, so all concentration is on this AZ team.  AZ has got to be doing some tandem prep work for the visit to the Giants next week.

I'm in the minority here, going Sea -3 this team doesn't have letdowns at home,  I think of all the teams in the league, this team wins the award for Jekyll and Hyde when if comes to home and road games.  I'm a little worried about the Hawks pass protection in this one, but the good thing is the D-Line has some good guys and are under the radar, if they can keep cards O to 24pts or less, I like there chances.

Hasselback is back and showed everyone he's ready to win...I like the SEA on this...

what has arizona done this year that leads you to believe they are the team to beat in the divison?

the keep losing and they haven't beat anybody..

SEAHAWKS

Seattle is an underrated team, got them at -2.5 early in the week, Quest field is a tough place to play and it will be raining to...Old man Warner will crumble and throw 3 picks.
