Football Predictions – September 29-30 WSU, UW, Seahawks, Sunday Night
By Ed Stein
Seattle Seahawks at Arizona
Andrew Durant – In all of Arizona’s losses they have lost the yardage battle and the turnover battle. Sam Bradford has thrown at least one interception in each game. Though Bradford isn’t going to be playing this week against Seattle, Josh Rosen the rookie will be playing against a defense with at least two turnovers a game.
The Cardinals defense has allowed at least 90 yards rushing. With the continuous improvement on Seattle’s offensive line and coming off of their first100-yard rushing performance in 23 games, I think Chris Carson is in for a breakout game. Seattle takes this one.
Ed Stein – I like the Seattle Seahawks big time in this one. The Hawks are going to run on Arizona all game. Carson might not get 100 yards rushing, but Carson and Penny could get 160 combined. Additionally, Russell Wilson can stay far away from Patrick Peterson and still have a good day throwing to backs and tight ends.
On defense, I expect Seattle to come after Rosen. The one thing they have to watch out for is if Arizona commits to running the ball with David Johnson. He is very good and Seattle hasn’t played well against the run this year. As long as the Seahawks don’t go minus two or three on turnovers, they win their first road game.
Mrs. Site Expert – Seattle Seahawks
Matt Barry – The Seahawks are coming off their first win and feeling a little better about themselves. They aren’t great on the road, but the Cardinals aren’t great, period. If Doug Baldwin is back, the Seahawks should be able to move the ball through the air. Chris Carson ran for over 100 against Dallas. Look for Seattle to continue to put an emphasis on a power running game. Seattle squeaks by in a low scoring game.
