Cardinals (3-12) at Seahawks (9-6): 4:25 p.m. ET, Fox
Point spread: SEA -13.5 |
Matchup quality: 48.2 (of 100)
Josh Weinfuss' pick: The Seahawks are trending up, while the Cardinals are trending down. Sunday will also be a battle of Seattle's No. 1 rushing offense against the Cardinals' 32nd-ranked rushing defense. The first meeting was close, with the Seahawks winning 20-17, but a lot has changed since Week 4. On top of all that, a loss would give the Cardinals the No. 1 pick in the 2019 NFL draft.
Seahawks 31, Cardinals 10
Brady Henderson's pick: An upset for the Cardinals as 13.5-point underdogs would be plausible if the Seahawks decided to rest some of their starters now that they've secured a playoff spot. But Pete Carroll made it clear this week that his team is keeping its foot on the gas, opting to try to maintain the momentum it has built while winning five of the last six games.
Seahawks 27, Cardinals 13
What's at stake: The Seahawks have clinched a playoff berth. They'll be the No. 5 seed if they win and the No. 6 seed if they lose. The Cardinals can clinch the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 draft with a loss.
