Walker uses his hands

Lumen Field will host a key NFC West matchup tonight with major postseason implications between the Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET and the game will air on FOX.

Sure, Arizona is on a four-game winning streak, but our best game is Cardinals vs. Seahawks in the same game NFL picks expect Seattle’s healthy defense to get there on Sunday, November 24.

Cardinals vs Seahawks SGP in week 12

Seahawks money line

Kyler Murray over 25 yards rushing

Kenneth Walker Over 21.5 receiving yards

The Arizona Cardinals strolling through four straight games gets a lot of attention, but not enough attention is paid to the fact that opponents have been strolling against defenses all year.

The Cardinals allowed the second-highest third-down conversion percentage (48.0%), and even after improving during the surge, Arizona still allowed the eighth-highest EPA per game and ranks 27th in PFF’s defense rankings.

I am also a supporter of the so-called Seattle Seahawks defense under head coach Mike Macdonald. Before injuries dismantled the stopping unit, Seattle allowed the second-lowest EPA per game and the lowest success rate in the league through the first three weeks.

The Seahawks were able to hit the reset button on their Week 10 bye, and I expect the Cards quarterback Kyler Murray and the crime that the weather forecast at Lumen Field on Sunday called for rain and low temperatures.

Seattle, however, proved to be a favorable opponent for Murray, who could boost his pass rush. He wasn’t as active in the running game before the Week 11 bye, with just 10 carries for 46 yards in three games, but the week off and Seattle’s improved defense should require the dual-threat QB to be on the move for much of Sunday.

After all, the Seahawks have already allowed each of Bo Nix, Daniel Jones, Josh Allen and Brock Purdy to rush for 25 or more yards this season.

Going back to the final stretch of the same game, the Cards allowed opposing running backs the fifth-highest catch percentage and tenth-highest yards per target, and Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker saw a drop in receiving yards after just five yards after two catches last week.

Walker was also a mainstay in the passing game prior to the one-time snap. He had six straight games with 24 or more yards receiving, averaging 5.2 targets, 4.7 receptions and 35.2 receiving yards during the stretch.
