Seattle certainly doesn't want to revisit the nightmare of the last meeting between these two, when the Seahawks went down 14-0 without even running an offensive play. On the game, they had 14 yards on the ground, 128 yards overall from scrimmage, and were thoroughly embarrassed in front of the home crowd, which saw a horrible defeat, both straight-up and in the NFL betting odds.

They've only had a couple of games since then - a three-touchdown loss when they had to visit Dallas, and a come-from-behind win over Detroit at Qwest Field. The zone blocking scheme that offensive coordinator Greg Knapp put into place has not produced much in the way of results for this running game, as the 'Hawks have gobbled up 148 rushing yards in the last three.

Kurt Warner, who threw five interceptions against Carolina a couple of weeks ago in Glendale, went wild for five touchdowns in a redemption game at Soldier Field last Sunday. Now he's got Anquan Boldin back in the lineup, and that won't be a welcome sight for Seattle, which got torched for 32 completions and 276 yards by the Cardinals quarterback the first time around. In nine career games against Seattle, Boldin has 64 catches for 811 yards.

Seattle was banged up when these teams met before, but I'm not sure it isn't the offense that's going to be the problem for them here. Without a running game, Mat Hasselbeck had to put it up 51 times last week, which is something Jim Mora Jr. and his staff didn't want to do when they started out the season. We know that Arizona has underachieved at home, but we'll lay the points with the Cards, the 8.5-point favorite in the BetUS NFL betting odds.

JAY'S PLAY:  ARIZONA -8.5 **
