Lumen Field will host a key NFC West matchup today with major postseason implications between the Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET with the game airing on FOX.
Sure, Arizona is cruising along a four-game winning streak, but our top Cardinals vs. Seahawks same-game parlay NFL picks expect the healthy Seattle defense to have its way Sunday, November 24.
Cardinals vs Seahawks SGP for Week 12
- Seahawks moneyline
- Kyler Murray 25+ rushing yards
- Kenneth Walker Over 21.5 receiving yards
The Arizona Cardinals strolling along a four-game winning streak is garnering a lot of attention, but not nearly enough is being paid to the fact opposing offenses have strolled against defense all year.
The Cardinals have allowed the second-highest third-down conversion percentage (48.0%), and even with improvements during the surge, Arizona has still allowed the eighth-highest EPA per play and ranks 27th in PFF defense grade.
I’m also a believer in the Seattle Seahawks defense under head coach Mike Macdonald. Before injuries dismantled the stop unit, Seattle allowed the second-lowest EPA per play and lowest success rate in the league through the first three weeks.
The Seahawks were able to hit the reset button during their Week 10 bye, and I’m expecting Cards quarterback Kyler Murray and the offense to have a few more hiccups with the weather forecast calling for rain and cool temperatures at Lumen Field on Sunday.
Seattle does set up as a favorable opponent for Murray to pad his rushing numbers, though. He wasn’t as active in the running game prior to the Week 11 bye, with just 10 carries for 46 yards across three games, but the week off and improved Seattle defense should require the dual-threat QB to be on the move more Sunday.
The Seahawks allowed each of Bo Nix, Daniel Jones, Josh Allen, and Brock Purdy to rush for 25 or more yards already this season, after all.
Turning to the final leg of this same-game parlay, the Cards have allowed the fifth-highest catch percentage and 10th-highest yards per target to opposing running backs, and Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker has seen his receiving yards total drop after recording just five yards on two catches last week.
Walker had been a mainstay in the passing game before the one-off, too. He posted six consecutive games with 24 or more receiving yards while averaging 5.2 targets, 4.7 receptions, and 35.2 receiving yards during the stretch.
