The Arizona Cardinals will host NFC West Division Rival Seattle Seahawks at University of Phoenix Stadium this Sunday Septemebr 9th, 2012 at 4:25 PM ET.

This game can be wagered at BetOnline Sportsbook and the Cardinals are currently 2.5 point favorites with a total of 40 points.

The NFC West certainly may be viewed as the weakest division in the NFL, with the exception of the San Francisco 49ers who are the clear favorites to win it. That would leave the Cardinals and Seahawks in dispute of a Wild Card seed, which is the big implication that this game has.

These teams met twice last year with one victory for each other; however it was on the final week of the regular season where the Cardinals led by John Skelton took down the Seahawks 23-20. There is still uncertainty about who will be starting at quarterback for Arizona, but it is expected that Matt Flynn will start for Seattle over Tarvaris Jackson.

One could argue that Seattle has a more solid defense than Arizona and the stats will prove that, and both these teams are on the lower half of the league offensively according to their 2011 numbers. Limitations and all, there should be sufficient points for the total to go over the established points. Bet the over at BetOnline!
