3 Best Bets for the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6 (Rivalry Week)

The Arizona Cardinals will march into Lumen Field on Sunday and look to score a big win against their division rival, the Seattle Seahawks. 

If the Arizona Cardinals can beat the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, it will serve as a major boost for them heading into Week 7. At 3-3, the Cardinals will remain in contention as the early stages of the playoff races heat up, right when DeAndre Hopkins returns to action.

And now, it’s your opportunity to win if you are thinking about making any bets during the game. As usual, I wanted to share my three favorite with you.

Best Bet #1 – Arizona Cardinals Moneyline (-146)

The Arizona Cardinals went into Lumen Field and won last season. And since the beginning of 2021, the Redbirds are 11-2 on the road when you count the playoffs. Therefore, the safer bet is to go with the Cardinals moneyline in this one, which currently stands at (-146).

The Cardinals have everything they need on defense to stop Geno Smith. And they also have a good enough running game, even without two of their top three backs going, to take advantage of a weak Seattle front.

Best Bet #2 – Seattle Seahawks Score First (-102)

The Cardinals have yet to score first in any game this season, so although I like them in the moneyline, logistically, you can expect more of the same this week. When Hopkins returns in Week 7, it may be a different story but for now, it’s safer to claim the Seahawks win in this particular bet.

Best Bet #3 – Seahawks Score First and Lose (+320)

The Cardinals scored second in all five games and won two of them. Both games came on the road, so once again, I’m pointing to recent history here. It wouldn’t surprise me if the Seahawks went up by two scores early before the Cardinals get it together and hold Geno Smith and the Seahawks offense as the game wears on.

Last week, I finished a perfect 3-0 in the best bets category. The Cardinals got the ball first and punted, while the 20-17 finish kept me well below the over/under, and the Eagles scored first on their first drive of the game. I am now 10-5 in the best bets category, 6-9 in prop bets, and 16-14 overall for the season. Let’s see what this week brings.
