Seattle, 0.500 after eight weeks following a Week 8 loss to Chicago, hosts Arizona in an NFC West matchup on Sunday with Gardner Minshew replacing Jacoby Brissett.
The Story
The Seattle Seahawks, defending champions who have fallen to a .500 record through the first eight weeks, are set to host the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9 after losing to the Chicago Bears on Monday night in Week 8.
The Cardinals enter the matchup with a 3-5 record after starting the season with wins against both Los Angeles teams and the Dallas Cowboys. The matchup is an NFC West game at Seattle.
Seattle will turn to backup quarterback Gardner Minshew, making his first start of the season and replacing the struggling Jacoby Brissett. The source also reports that Minshew led Arizona to a win over Dallas in Week 8.
Injuries and quarterback changes are also part of the setup for the game. Sam Darnold is listed as out with a quad injury, and Drew Lock is reported as making his second start of 2026 after throwing for 235 yards and three touchdowns in a Week 2 spot start against the same Arizona team.
The betting line described in the source has Arizona listed at plus 8.5 points (-115) and Seattle at minus 8.5 (-105). The moneyline shown is Cardinals at +550 and Seahawks at -800, with a total of 41.5 points (Over -110/Under -110).
The source notes that the total dropped four points in the matchup since the announcement of Minshew and Lock as the starting quarterbacks, and that Seattle’s spread moved from 11.5-point favourites down to 8.5 points.
A score prediction cited in the source picks the Seahawks to win 23-16.
