Cardinals Underdogs Against Seahawks Despite Recent Win

The Arizona Cardinals are facing a challenging matchup as they prepare to take on the Seattle Seahawks, entering the game as 6.5-point underdogs, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. Despite a recent primetime victory on the road, oddsmakers remain skeptical about the Cardinals' chances.

This season, the Cardinals have shown resilience, boasting a 4-0 record against the spread when playing on the road, although their overall road record stands at two wins and two losses. The upcoming game marks a crucial rematch, as the Seahawks previously defeated the Cardinals 23 to 20 in week four, cementing their competitive edge in this rivalry.

On the flip side, the Seahawks have had a mixed performance at home, also sitting at 2-2, with notable victories against the New Orleans Saints and the Houston Texans. However, they've faced setbacks against the San Francisco 49ers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The critical question for the Cardinals will revolve around their defense; can they rise to the occasion and deliver another strong performance against a formidable Seahawks offense? Interestingly, the over-under for this matchup is set at 45.5, with current betting trends leaning toward the under.

Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see if the Cardinals can not only cover the spread but potentially pull off an upset against their division rivals. The stakes are high as the Cardinals aim to build on their recent success and shift the narrative surrounding their season.
