Week 6: Seahawks vs. Cardinals

Bob Condotta (4-1)

Seahawks 35, Cardinals 31: No one should be surprised by anything that might happen when these two play — and recall that the Cardinals have won six of the last nine in Seattle. But maybe it’s time for that trend to end with Seattle this time playing just a little better on defense than it has the last two weeks and pulling out the win. 

Adam Jude (1-4)

Seahawks 48, Cardinals 47: And Mariners in five.

Shane Lantz (2-3)

Seahawks 35, Cardinals 32: Geno Smith should be able to produce against an Arizona defense that ranks last in the NFL in sacks, though the Seahawks young offensive line is going to face a big challenge in J.J. Watt. Tariq Woolen will produce yet another big play for Seattle on defense, with either an interception or a fumble recovery.

Larry Stone (1-4)

Seahawks 38, Cardinals 35: Who’da thunk it? The Seahawks have the quarterback edge with Geno Smith, who leads the NFL in QB Rating (113.1), over Kyler Murray. The Cardinals have lost all their games at home this year and won all their games on the road, but the beleaguered Seattle defense will do just enough for the Seahawks to win this one.

Matt Calkins (4-1)

Cardinals 31, Seahawks 28: Two things have been consistent for the Seahawks — their defense has been atrocious, and Geno Smith has played like the league MVP. The latter seems likely to continue, although I’ll admit I’ve thought that several times now.
