Game Preview
The Cardinals were toothless in their 9-26 defeat at the hands of the Rams in week 6. Without RB James Conner (Knee) they struggled to move the chains and they could face similar problems this weekend. Keaontay Ingram looks set to take lead back duties once again. TE Trey McBride outsnapped veteran Zach Ertz on Sunday and that could be a sign that the Cardinals are ready to move on from the former Eagle. QB Kyler Murray returned to practice this week but isn’t expected to suit up until at least week 8.

The Seahawks fell just short against the Bengals in week 6 but face an easier test this weekend. DK Metcalf was limited in practice again with a rib injury but is expected to suit up and play through the pain once again. Rookie WR Jaxon Sith-Njigba had his best game of the season so far against the Bengals, snaring 4 catches for 48 yards and the 21-year-old could be primed for a breakout here.
Prediction
Seattle are big favorites for this one and it’s hard to see anything other than a Seahawks win. This could be another day to forget for Cardinals fans as I expect Seattle to win this comfortably.
