Like the Cardinals ability to stop the run as it will be the key today. Garcia has not shown me that he can lead the team without the help of a running game. I look for the Cardinals to control the ball and keep this game tight to have a shot in the 4th quarter. Teams that can rush well and can defend the rush have a hard time losing games by more than a TD without giveaways and with Plummer reigned in this year, they shouldn't provide many.

Dallas -2.5 5 units

Emmitt has stated that he wants the record in Dallas. When a past his prime-grandpa call his game against you and needs 93 yards to do it, you better be ready to stop the run and the Seahawks will bring the run support from the defensive backfield. The playaction will be open for Hutchinson due to the Seahawks effort and it will give Dallas an early lead. They still have one of the best defenses in the NFL and without the turnovers from Carter, the Seahawks will need to drive on a long field and I don't think that they have the personnel to do it.

Pittsburgh -2.5 4 units

Losing the Bus only helps the Steelers cause as Zeroue has been a more effective runner for the last two years. Lewis will be a gametime decision, but a shoulder injury for a linebacker isn't something to take lightly. Steelers continue to reclaim their season with Maddox at the helm
