The Arizona Cardinals play in Week 2, hosting the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at State Farm Stadium. Both teams are 1-0. The Seahawks lost starting quarterback Sam Darnold early, but Drew Lock rallied them back from a 10-0 deficit to beat the New England Patriots 13-10 last week on Wednesday.
The Cardinals upset the LA Chargers on the road 26-14. Jacoby Brissett passed for 277 yards and a touchdown, and safety Andrew Wingard forced a fumble and had an interception.
Now they face each other on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET (1:25 p.m. Arizona time), and the Seahawks are favored.
NFL experts are unanimous. They have the Cardinals losing.
NFL expert picks for Seahawks-Cardinals in Week 2
Jess Root, Cards Wire
Seattle's defense will be too much for the Cardinals' promising offense, and Arizona's defense will not
be prepared for the physical dogfight the Seahawks will bring. Seahawks 24, Cardinals 13
Kole Musgrove, Seahawks Wire
Seahawks vs. Cardinals games are always competitive, at least the first one. I think this game is tight, with Seattle feeling in control the whole time. The Seahawks defense is simply going to be too much for the Cardinals to overcome, especially if they are one-dimensional. Seahawks 20, Cardinals 13
NFL Network panel of experts
All 10 pick the Seahawks to win. Two predict a two-score Seahawks win. They were unanimous last week in picking teh Chargers over the Cardinals, too.
