Cardinals vs. Seahawks Predictions For NFL Week 12, Sunday 11/17

As division rivals, these teams obviously play a minimum of twice a year. And it hasn’t been much of a “rivalry” as of late as the Seahawks have won five straight. The last time the Cardinals beat the Seahawks it was Colt McCoy vs. Russell Wilson in November of 2021.

The Seahawks broke up a rough stretch last week beating the San Francisco 49ers 20-17. Prior to that, they had lost three out of their last four to the Rams, Bills, and 49ers. The Cardinals have been hot lately winning four straight - their last lost came to the Green Bay Packers over a month ago. They’ll be coming off their bye this week.

 

 

 

Arizona Cardinals: Defense Stepping Up

We were questioning when the defensive-minded head coach Jonathan Gannon would start turning things around. But they have really stepped things up lately, especially on the pressure front. Last week they were able to pressure Aaron Rodgers 16 times and, the week prior, they put pressure on Caleb Williams a whopping 36 times. They’re not necessarily a top defense but they are ranked 12th in DVOA per FTN Fantasy so not the joke they have been in recent years.

On offense, Kyler Murray has seemingly put more trust in the scheme of Drew Petzing while taking better care of the football. Last week he went 22 of 24 passing while running for 2 touchdowns. The offensive line has done a good job of keeping him upright. If they can get Marvin Harrison to step up and maybe find a receiving touchdown for Trey McBride, this team could take things to another level at the right time. James Conner has been good and they have Trey McBride waiting in the wings.

 

 

 

Seattle Seahawks: The Ryan Grubb Plan

The Seahawks knew they had three great wide receivers. So they needed to move on from Shane Waldron and his two tight end sets for someone who knows how to utilize 11 personnel. Enter Ryan Grubb from Washington, who just had three WRs all drafted in the first two days of the NFL Draft.

Now that DK Metcalf is back to join Jaxon-Smith Njigba and Tyler Lockett, this offense is back on track. Noah Fant might miss again with a groin injury but AJ Barner can fill in there if need be. Kenneth Walker has been playing great and Zach Charbonnett is available if they need him.

The Seahawks defense has been middle of the pack as a unit but they do have some key playmakers. Tariq Woolen and Devon Witherspoon are solid in the secondary while Derick Hall and Boye Mafe have been able to get after the quarterback. They have had some issues up front that has led to some big running performances against them.

I love what I’m seeing from both of these offenses right now. Folks had questions about Kyler Murray as a winner but there were never questions about his playmaking ability. If you sort all quarterbacks all time by fantasy points per game, Kyler Murray is in the top five. But now they have an offensive line that has kept him upright, including a three game stretch from Week 5 to 8 where he wasn’t sacked once. He has the skills, the weapons, and the line.
On the other side, this Seahawks offense is a different beast with DK Metcalf healthy. Ryan Grubb can focus on his three wide receiver sets with a single back in Kenneth Walker that made Michael Penix and the Washington offense so dangerous in college.

Both defenses have been fine this season. But this game has some serious shootout potential. It’s tough to pick a winner in a divisional game that is practically a pickup and it wouldn’t shock me if this one went to overtime. So we’re taking the over on this one.
