Seahawks-Cardinals clash in Glendale as NFC West leaders collide; Fanatics promo adds betting spotlight
Arizona hosts Seattle in a pivotal NFC West showdown as both teams sit 2-1, with the Cardinals listed as half-point home favorites and Fanatics offering a new-user welcome bonus.
Seahawks visit the Arizona Cardinals in Glendale on Thursday Night Football, a marquee NFC West matchup that could shake up the division standings. The game features two teams at 2-1 on the season, with Arizona listed as half-point favorites at home according to Fanatics Sportsbook.
Both teams sit 2-1 or better, making the NFC West the division to watch early in the season. The Cardinals come in on a short week after a collapse against the 49ers in Week 3, while Seattle arrives off back-to-back wins that have given the Seahawks momentum and the market a touch more respect, even with the road environment in Glendale.
Odds-makers considered it a pick’em, with the Cardinals listed as half-point favorites at home, signaling that Seattle has earned some market respect despite the short week. The matchup is viewed as a string of close games early in the season, and Thursday’s tilt could loosen or tighten the NFC West race as teams try to gain separation.
