Three quick reasons Seahawks will win in week 7
By Lee Vowell
The Seahawks will defeat the Cardinals in week 7 and here are three quick reasons why.
The Seattle Seahawks have never been unbeaten this late in a season before. The sad news, and realistic news, is that Seattle – and every other NFL team – will lose at least once in 2020. But Seattle’s first loss of the year will not come in week seven against the Cardinals and here are three quick reasons why.
Russell Wilson doesn’t lose in Arizona
Fine, I can already hear you saying that the Seahawks quarterback has lost in Arizona and you’d be correct. Russell Wilson lost in the first game he ever played as an NFL quarterback back in 2012. So let’s throw that one out. Since 2013, Wilson is 6-0-1 against the Cardinals in Arizona.
Wilson doesn’t always have a great game in Arizona. But in his career on the road against the Cardinals, Wilson has thrown 10 touchdowns and been picked off just once. And that one time came in 2012. Wilson is the best player on the field on Sunday and he will be the reason Seattle wins.
Seahawks scores touchdowns, not field goals
Here is an odd statistic: The Seahawks have played five games and their kicker, Jason Myers, has made just two field goals. But it gets better. Myers has only attempted two field goals. That’s insane. What this means is the Seahawks score touchdowns in 2020 and don’t settle for field goals.
Seattle is number one in the NFL in red zone offense scoring 88.9 percent of the time they get inside the other team’s 20-yard line. 18 attempts and 16 touchdowns. That’s good stuff. Seattle will score more touchdowns on Sunday. (For fairness, the Cardinals are second in red zone offense themselves and second in red zone defense.)
Chris Carson is good against the Cardinals
dark. Next. 3 bold predictions for Seahawks-Cardinals week 7
Carson has played three games against Arizona and has run for over 100 yards in two of those. In the third game, he got hurt but not before averaging 5 yards a carry. Carson will hopefully carry a big load on Sunday – catching and receiving. If the Seahawks are going to win, Carson will be a big reason why.
