Primetime Punisher - Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NFL Rotation #468 Sunday 8* Arizona Cardinals (+) vs Seattle Seahawks @ 8:20 ET - Every week I always am on the lookout for what I would call "strange lines" in NFL. They are games I want to investigate because if it is something the public is likely to line up on then of course I want to be on the other side of it. This game is a perfect example. Seattle is off their bye week, they are 5-0 on the season, and they have been available as low as a -3 in a game against a Cardinals team that is certainly not known as a powerhouse and already has 2 losses on the season. Who do you think the public is going to take in this game? Exactly! So in typical contrarian fashion I am on the other side but, also in typical fashion, of course it is not without good reason or at least what I certainly feel very strongly is good reason. Yes the Cardinals are off a huge win on MNF over the Cowboys but if you think they are going to fall flat against an NFC West rival that they are chasing for the top spot in the division, there is just no way! Adding to some additional value for the home dog here is the fact that they have a bye week on deck. The Cardinals will absolutely go all out in this one and I expect them to win outright but certainly am happy to grab the 3.5 points being offered. The Seahawks have the worst defense in the NFL so far this season. Seattle is allowing 471.2 yards per game which is 125 ypg more than the Cardinals are giving up. Seahawks must have faced a powerhouse schedule, right? Nope! Even though one could argue their schedule has been tougher than the Cards, the fact is the teams Seattle has faced have a combined record of 9-20 this season and none of them have a winning record. The Cardinals dominated the Seahawks on the scoreboard AND in the stats when these teams last met and that was in Seattle. In the meeting that preceded that, the Seahawks beat the Cards by 17 points here in Arizona but the yardage edge was only 21 for Seattle and now it is payback time. This Cardinals team is better than people realize and the Seahawks defense is going to struggle badly to try and contain elusive QB Kyler Murray. Look for a home dog outright upset as another unbeaten falls this week but there is no way I am passing up on grabbing the 3.5 points here. 8* ARIZONA
