\"Cardinals<\/a>
Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald has been hampered by hamstring injuries for most of the season<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Seattle hits the road for the third time in four weeks, as it comes off a 20-13 victory over the Tennessee Titans as 11-point home favorites Sunday, while going UNDER the betting total for the first time in four contests.\u00a0 The Seahawks lead the NFC West division by a game, but they\u2019ve dropped six of their seven trips to Glendale when playing inside University of Phoenix Stadium.\u00a0 Seattle is 6-0 SUATS as favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points the last two-plus seasons, with the OVER going 5-1 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Seahawks held the Titans to 223 yards, including 66 on the ground en route to their 11th consecutive home victory.\u00a0 Seattle ranks second in the NFL with 290.2 yards allowed per game and third in terms of allowing 15.7 points a contest.\u00a0 Second-year quarterback Russell Wilson has been a much better quarterback at home than on the road, which is important to consider when making your NFL expert picks Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Arizona had its two-game winning streak snapped in Week 6, as it suffered a 32-30 setback to the San Francisco 49ers as 10-point road underdogs last Sunday\u2014despite winning the statistical battle by 16 yards.\u00a0 The Cardinals are 2-0 at home, which is something to consider when looking over the pro football odds page, with quarterback Carson Palmer and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald performing at a higher level in front of their own fans.\u00a0 Arizona is 1-9 SU and 2-8 ATS in October since 2011, with the UNDER going 6-4 in those 10 opportunities.<\/p>\n

The Cardinals need Palmer to take care of the football, as he\u2019s thrown nine of his 11 interceptions in the last four games.\u00a0 Fitzgerald was targeted 22 times in two games against Seattle during the 2012 campaign, but came away with just five catches for 65 yards and no touchdowns.\u00a0 First-year head coach Bruce Arians has acknowledged that his star wide receiver\u2019s hamstring problems and limited time on the practice field has made it difficult for his two offensive stars to develop chemistry.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Seahawks due to their 6-1 ATS mark on the road in their last seven opportunities.<\/p>\n
