Seattle Seahawks vs Arizona Cardinals [Birds Revenge 2012]
It doesn't matter if the skill positions are loaded with pro-bowlers, if you can't protect the quarterback, who can't compensate for the pressure .A couple days ago,I would have sided with the Seattle Seahawks if I was forced to make a pick -2 1/2 or -3 for the opener at home against the Arizona Cardinals.I realize the preseason is meaningless and nobody is game-planning, but it doesn't take any particular football savvy to recognize the problems Seattle's defensive backfield where they are going nowhere fast. Seattle's defense should prove great opportunities for Arizona Cardinals to win the game outright[I look for one big inference call by Seattle for a Arizona score during game, thats how really bad the defensive backfield is??].The stingy first-string defensive backfield will be aided by what could be a potent four-man pass-rush... Seahawks will probably be trying to hide some serious vulnerabilities at some point. On the other side of the ball,are we conveniently forgetting that Skelton is 6-0 as a starter at home?Or that the far-and-away best player on the field, Larry Fitzgerald, will be in an Arizona uniform? I haven't. If I'm trying to look at this game objectively and not through the hometown Seahawks lens, I see a Cardinals' win in a good-scoring game on Sunday. Arizona QB John Skelton will have his go-to guy in Larry Fitzgerald but he’s not the only weapon as Michael Floyd has fans excited and should offer Skelton opportunities all over the field.Arizona’s running game can be solid if Beanie Wells can stay healthy but Ryan Williams is about to break into the starting lineup as well; he will force Wells to step up his game or lose the job.But I think if the O-line can open the holes?This is where Arizona will have to make big plays. The Cardinal’s O-line i think will play oustanding with the 1st home game of season by a packed stadium and will have no trouble fighting off a very tough Seahawk defense. My Prediction:Cardinals+3 At Home {Cardinals 20, Seahawks 13]**[Conversely,the Seahawks went 4-0 in the preseason and 4-0 against the spread].

As a guy who lives here in AZ. I can tell you we will lose this match, The total is just as questionable. We can't really count on any AZ QB to score but both D's are questionable & could easily give up points. I'd be pounding Seattle here if there weren't some key players questionable for them.

Very Good Luck To All Of You This Season On Your Picks,Threads & Bets With SBR... I have been diligent in my philosophy, Just betting one game at each week [Some exceptions applied Monday & Thursday Night games] I never bet spreads over 10, Never a road team, getting 7 more points, Never home steam giving up 7 more points I work off a spread sheet. Use money lines as a evaluation, with and against the point spreads, Weather,injures, Power ratings, Defense and Offense analyzes, Team coaches comparisonsMy Betting Style>> Press one time on 2nd win and will go back to a Original bet after the press Win Or Lose... One Bet at time ...You can't win? if you don,t press once. I believe my record does speak for itself as the single strongest winning formula I use in my NFL game predicti

Reply To borednaz>>>>>Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch is listed as questionable for Sunday's opener at Arizona after being a limited participant in practice most of the week. Seattle will also be without wide receiver Golden Tate, who sprained his knee in the preseason finale against Oakland. Tate, defensive end Greg Scruggs and offensive lineman James Carpenter have all been ruled out for this week .Backup quarterback Matt Flynn was limited in practice Thursday and Friday and is listed as probable. The Seahawks have been resting his sore elbow.

Not sure WIlson will have the same success during the season that he had in the preseason, his legs got him out of some bleek situations, I dont like Ariz either, but i m taking the home dog, Patrick Peterson will be the difference and the Cards win outright

Reply To cankid>>> All I want to see for this'" Home Coming Game"" with a packed stadium!!!! and the home town folks screaming!!!! Is for Larry Fitzgerald to have a quarterback willing to throw him the ball every down. Because his seven-catch, 146-yard, two-touchdown performance last pre-season game proved once again that he can completely take over a game if he gets enough opportunities.

Like the Cards here tomorrow too Harry. Much improved defense and Russell Wilson is going to have a tough time.

Im from Seattle and i wish I could agree with you.
Think about it...
1st game of the season
On the road
New QB
Questionable Marshawn Lynch.
Seattle defense is good. Good enough to shut down the Cards. But the OL probably wont impress anyone. Don't expect a big scoring game. Boring 1st half, equally boring 2nd half.
