Field Gulls
The NFC West is the place to be.
All four teams won last week in pretty decisive fashion, continuing their claim as the best division in football right now. Furthermore, the Seattle Seahawks have consecutive division rivalry games coming up.
On deck: the recently-interesting Arizona Cardinals!
After dismantling the Dallas Cowboys 27-17 on the road, the Cardinals open as 6.5-point favorites against the Seahawks, according to FanDuel SportsBook. The Cardinals are trying their best impersonation of the Jets (not advisable under any circumstances) by playing a little cloak-and-dagger with their quarterback situation.
Jacoby Brissett has unquestionably been more effective recently, and an announced QB change would probably swing the line, but for the moment, this is what it is.
The over/under is 44.5 points. The first matchup was a middling 23-20 victory for Seattle, who led in convincing fashion for almost the entire game before the fourth quarter got weird. If there’s one thing to cling to this week, it’s that the Cardinals forced multiple turnovers to score 27 against a horrible Dallas defense. The Seahawks do not have a horrible defense.
A win here would finally put Mike Macdonald above .500 at home this season for the first time. Looking forward to it!
