The weatherman calls for 4-mph wind in this game. Low wind typically means higher pass volume, higher TD potential, and increased passing efficiency.The Arizona Cardinals O-line profiles as the 3rd-worst in the NFL this year at blocking for the run game.The Seattle Seahawks defensive tackles rank as the 9th-best DT corps in the league this year in regard to defending the run.The Seattle Seahawks have stacked the box versus opponents on 19.9% of their plays since the start of last season, 7th-most in the league. Bringing an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.The Arizona Cardinals have used some form of misdirection on a measly 34.3% of their plays since the start of last season (least in football), which likely makes the offense more predictable and less effective.
