Seahawks vs. Cardinals odds, predictions, picks and best bets
Steven Bisig-USA TODAY Sports

The 6-4 Arizona Cardinals travel up to Seattle to take on the 5-5 Seahawks in a crucial Week 12 NFC West divisional showdown.

The Cardinals have quietly won four games in a row, sneaking to the top of the NFC West standings. Quarterback Kyler Murray is playing very efficiently, throwing for 2,058 yards and rushing for 371. He has 16 total touchdowns and just three interceptions. Running back James Conner has a solid 4.4 yard per carry average, and first-round pick Marvin Harrison Jr. is developing into a legitimate No. 1 wide receiver.

After losing five of six games, the Seahawks picked up a huge road win over the San Francisco 49ers last week to stay in striking distance of Arizona. Seattle's passing attack ranks second in the NFL, led by quarterback Geno Smith and his three-head monster at wide receiver in DK Metcalf, Jaxson Smith-Njigba and Tyler Lockett. Kenneth Walker has been a valuable weapon both as a rusher and a receiver.

Here are the best odds and bets for this matchup.

*Odds from BetMGM and subject to change.

Seahawks vs. Cardinals Moneyline

Seahawks: -110
Cardinals: -110


This game should be extremely tight. The similarities in statistical rankings on both sides of the ball are staggering. You might be inclined to give the Seahawks the edge playing in Seattle, but they are actually 2-4 at home this season.

I'm going to give the edge to the Cardinals, who have been just a tad more consistent throughout the first 10 games. There's a very small difference in payout between the spread and the moneyline, making the moneyline the safer bet.

Seahawks vs. Cardinals Spread

Seahawks: +1 (-115)
Cardinals: -1 (-105)


It doesn't get much tighter than a one-point spread. Since this should be a close and unpredictable game, there's really no reason to bet the spread.

Seahawks vs. Cardinals Over-Under 47.5 total points

Over: -110
Under: -110


Each team has a very good offense and middling defenses. I feel good about betting the over here.
