Seahawks vs Cardinals TNF Week 4
The Seahawks have a 7-game winning streak against the Cardinals coming into this Thursday night matchup between two 1-1 NFC West teams. Most Thursday night games tend to be uneventful, but this one has the potential to be an exciting offensive contest, especially with how well the Seahawks have been throwing the ball this season. The Cardinals are also missing Will Johnson, their best or second-best cornerback. Additionally, the Cardinals have a few injuries on offense, with James Conner out for the season and Zay Jones still in concussion protocol.
How the Seahawks Win
The Seahawks win this game by doing what they’ve done all year—moving the ball effectively on all levels and getting everyone involved in the offense. With Witherspoon returning from injury this week, they gain more help in the secondary, which could be beneficial against what might be one of the weaker receiving cores in the league.
How the Cardinals Win
The Cardinals can win this game by winning the line of scrimmage and minimizing big plays of 20+ yards. They will also need Kyler Murray to play like the better quarterback and make his mark on the game, especially in the running game, since they’ve lost their workhorse.
Prediction
I think the game will go over the total and that the Seahawks will light up the air with a 31-17 victory. Both Seahawks running backs could find the end zone if Charbonnet is healthy and playing this week. Seattle should cruise to victory, especially with high spirits around the city due to the Mariners' success, and the Seahawks will add to the momentum.
