Seahawks Favored to Dominate Cardinals in Week 10 Showdown
The Seattle Seahawks are gearing up for a big Week 10 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, and all eyes are on Lumen Field this Sunday. With kickoff set for 1:05 p.m. PT, the Seahawks are stepping in strong with a 6–2 record, while the Cardinals come in struggling a bit at 3–5. But even with that difference, predictions across the league show that fans could be in for an exciting and possibly close game.
Most analysts are leaning toward Seattle taking this one, and the reasons are pretty clear. Bill Bender from Sporting News predicts a 28–24 win for the Seahawks, pointing out that the team is starting to look like a serious Super Bowl contender. He highlights the connection between quarterback Sam Darnold and wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba — who, by the way, leads the entire NFL with an impressive 948 receiving yards. The Cardinals, meanwhile, are coming off a short week and have already had seven games decided by just one score, showing they’ve been fighting hard but falling just short.

Vinnie Iyer, also from Sporting News , is even more confident in Seattle. He expects the Seahawks to win 30–14, crediting their improved passing game and Darnold’s growing comfort in leading the offense. According to Iyer, Smith-Njigba’s rise as a consistent playmaker has given the team more options, and Seattle’s attack now feels more dynamic than ever. On the other hand, Arizona has been hit by injuries and inconsistency, leaving them in a bit of a mess offensively.
CBS Sports’ Pete Prisco gives Arizona some credit, predicting a 23–20 game in favor of Seattle. He praises the Seahawks’ defense as one of the league’s best but thinks Jacoby Brissett, who’s expected to start again for Arizona, can keep things tight for much of the game — though the short turnaround and back-to-back road trips could make it tough for the Cardinals to hang on late.
Over at NBC and ESPN, the trend continues: experts like Mike Florio, Chris Simms, and Pamela Maldonado all favor the Seahawks, with score predictions hovering between 23–30 points for Seattle and anywhere from 17–27 for the Cardinals. Across the board, the consensus is clear — Seattle is the stronger, deeper team right now.
With a confident Sam Darnold, a red-hot Smith-Njigba, and one of the toughest defenses in football, the Seahawks are expected to control the pace at home. Still, given the Cardinals’ knack for keeping games close, this could turn into another nail-biter before Seattle ultimately pulls it off. Either way, fans at Lumen Field are in for an intense, high-energy afternoon of football.
