Arizona has won and covered the number in its last six games, including a 14-6 victory over the Detroit Lions as one-point home underdogs last week, but has captured the statistical battle in just four of those affairs.  The Cardinals are being led by backup quarterback Drew Stanton due to Carson Palmer’s season-ending surgery, which can’t be ignored when looking over the NFL betting lines, as the former Michigan State star threw for a career-high 306 yards last week.  Arizona is 5-1 SUATS as underdogs this season, with the UNDER going 4-1-1 in that situation.

The Cardinals are banged up at numerous skill positions offensively, which is important to consider when making your Week 12 NFL betting picks, especially since No. 1 wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald is listed as a game-time decision after not practicing all week due to a knee injury.  Arizona has the potential to win this game on the defensive side of the field, as the unit is allowing just 17.6 points per game, while limiting four of its last five opponents to 270 or fewer yards.

Seattle had its season-high three-game win streak come to an end last week, as it suffered a 24-20 setback to the Kansas City Chiefs as one-point road favorites last week, while going OVER the betting total for the fifth time in six contests.  The Seahawks will try to win this game on the ground, as their passing attack has failed to climb over the 200-yard mark in eight of 10 games, but they’ll need to do it without the services of starting center Max Unger the rest of the month due to an ankle injury.  Seattle is 7-0 SUATS as home favorites of 3.5 to 7 points the last two-plus seasons, with the UNDER going 4-3 in that situation.

The Seahawks have proven victorious in 19 of their last 21 home games, as they try to make up a three-game deficit to Sunday’s opponent in the NFC West division standings.  Seattle has a two-pronged rushing attack in the backfield, with quarterback Russell Wilson gaining 571 yards on the ground thus far, while featured running back Marshawn Lynch is picking up 4.6 yards per carry.

Sports bettors will likely back the Seahawks due to the home team being 11-5 ATS in the last 16 meetings in this series.
