Pro Football Betting – Cards Get Tested with Road Game at Seattle
By Charles Jay
The Arizona Cardinals have been playing some good football this season, and they are in first place in the NFC West through the first half of the season. Now coming out of a bye week, they really start the grind, as they play the first of two meetings against the Seattle Seahawks, the two-time defending NFC champions, in a game that will be played on Sunday night at 8:30 PM ET at Century Link Field in Seattle and televised on NBC. Vietbet customers will have the opportunity to watch the action and also place wagers against the pro football betting odds even after the opening kickoff, as they test their skills against real-time dynamic numbers through the facilities of Live Betting Extra.

The Cardinals are the team that leads the NFL in yards gained per drive, so this is quite a contrast to the last two times these two teams played, which resulted in one-sided Seattle victories. In those games, the Cardinals had a total of 93 yards rushing and 29 first downs. Of course, quarterback Carson Palmer missed both of those meetings as he was dealing with knee issues. This season he has made quite a comeback, averaging more than nine yards per attempt.

The Seahawks appear to be a team that needs a shot in the arm right now. They are also coming off a bye, and even though they won their last two games on the road, against San Francisco and Dallas, we are not sure what kind of a barometer that was.
Seattle hopes that it can close out the season with a flourish. If you remember, they came on very strong for the end of last season, rounding into form at the right time, especially on the defensive side. They have to play Arizona twice, obviously, as a division rival, and they visit Minnesota, which has developed itself into a contender, but all these games are winnable for them. They just need to continue to establish themselves on the ground. However, they were not necessarily too explosive in those wins over the Niners and Cowboys, totaling 33 points. Russell Wilson has just nine touchdown passes in eight games and has been sacked 31 times. The defense has done its job, however, holding the opposition to just 31% on third down.
Vietbet patrons might expect that they will offer Arizona quite the challenge here. The Cardinals have been a 46% team as far as third-down conversions are concerned, and Palmer has thrown 20 touchdown passes against only six interceptions. Of course, the last time he faced the Seahawks, toward the end of the 2013 season, he threw four interceptions.

But the Cards have a little more help on the ground then they’ve had in the past. The guy who has really provided a boost is Chris Johnson, the former NFL rushing champion who has made a comeback in a big way, with 676 yards. Without him, we are not sure where Arizona would be right now. And to think that he was considered an incidental addition toward the end of training camp, it really boggles the mind.
