Seahawks/Cardinals Props Best Bets

The Seahawks must feel like they’re in a haunted house when they go to Arizona. Some of the lowest moments of the Pete Carroll era, including losing Super Bowl XLIX, the end of Kam Chancellor’s career and Richard Sherman’s Seattle tenure in the same game, and the end of Earl Thomas’ Seattle tenure (which he punctuated with a broken leg and a middle finger to the Seattle sideline) happened on the Cardinals’ home field. One could argue the Legion of Boom era is buried underneath State Farm Stadium.

The latest meeting between the Seahawks and Cardinals at the Legion of Boom burial ground has a new wrinkle since the Seahawks will face Kliff Kingsbury and Kyler Murray for the first time. The winless Cardinals would love to continue Seattle’s horror odyssey in Glendale.

For those bettors who aren’t afraid of ghosts, here are a few props and parlays to target Sunday afternoon.

CHRIS CARSON TO HAVE 85+ RUSHING YARDS AND SEA TO WIN (+127)

Russell Wilson has only exceeded 250 passing yards in Arizona once in seven tries. Chris Carson is in the doghouse after being instrumental in Seattle’s loss to New Orleans in Week 3, but the Seahawks have publicly supported him. He does not historically have fumbling problems and he had 122 on the ground against the Cardinals last season. If the favored Seahawks win, there’s a good chance Carson got back on track. However, this could be a stay-away if Rashaad Penny returns from his hamstring injury.

On a related note: you can get Russell Wilson under 256.5 passing yards at -114.

LONGEST TOUCHDOWN O/U 39.5 YARDS (OVER -125)

Wilson does have an incredible deep ball and both Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf are dangerous vertical threats. One of Arizona’s safeties, DJ Swearinger, is PFF’s 67th-ranked safety with a grade of 44.9.

On the other side of the field, cornerback Tre Flowers and the rest of the Seattle secondary had trouble with John Ross in Week 1. That was the one time this season Seattle’s defense faced their opponent’s original starting quarterback for four quarters. There’s a great chance Wilson or Murray connects for a deep score.

ANY TEAM TO SCORE 40 OR MORE (YES +494)

Since 2010, there has only been one 40-point scorer in this series (Seattle’s 58-0 win in 2012) but all of the ingredients for a shootout are in place. Both of these offenses are capable of being dominant and the defenses are beatable. Seattle allows 26.3 points per game (25th in the league) and Arizona allows 29.3 (29th). At +494, it’s worth a shot.

DAVID JOHNSON RECEPTIONS 7 OR MORE (+488)

The Saints punished Seattle with Alvin Kamara last week, as he ended up with 16 carries and nine receptions. Don’t be surprised if the Cardinals employ David Johnson the same way. He had six receptions in each of Arizona’s previous home games this season.

WILL DISSLY TD 2 OR MORE (+800)

This one is our longest shot, but it’s not hard to envision. Dissly has started and finished six games in his career and has five touchdowns. 

Anyone playing fantasy has enjoyed starting tight ends against Arizona this season. They’ve already given up five scores to tight ends–the most in the league.

In fairness to those who think Seattle is cursed in Arizona, the worst game of Dissly’s career came on this field in 2018. He caught one pass and tore his patellar tendon, ending his rookie season. For you folks, Dissly under 44.5 yards at -114 is available.
