How to Place a Bet on the Seahawks vs. Cardinals

With both teams closely matched in terms of games played against each other from 1976 to 2020, it may be difficult to bet on which one will win. Even in their two NFL matches in 2020, the Seahawks and Cardinals each had one win and one loss.

But looking at the betting trends of the 2020 NFL season, it is likely that the Seahawks will once again become the favorites.

If you’re having a hard time deciding which team between the Hawks or the Cards to bet on, you may want to consider betting on the spread or over/under instead.

Start betting on the Seahawks vs. Cardinals game with any of the following betting methods:

Moneyline - If you simply want to bet on which team will win or lose, moneyline bets are for you. The numbers represent the amount of money you can win or stake.

For example, if the moneyline on the Cards was set at +167 and you bet on them and they win, you get paid $167 for every $100 you staked. In contrast, if you bet on the Hawks at -178 and they win, you win $100 for every $178 you stake.

Point Spread - This is for bettors who prefer to bet on the difference between the teams’ scores.

If the Hawks’ spread was at -3.5, they have to win by more than 3.5 points. On the other hand, if the Cards’ spread was at +3.5, they should either win the match or lose but not by more than 3.5 points.

Point total or Over/under - This is the oddsmaker’s predicted final score of both teams combined. Your bet will be on whether the actual score will be over or under the predicted score.

Let’s say the predicted total score of the Hawks and the Cards was at 55.5. If the actual combined score was 71 points and you bet “Over,” you win.

Live or In-play Betting - Live betting is when you make bets on an ongoing game. You can listen to live updates on your podcast or watch the NFL games via HD channels on your TV while simultaneously placing your bets online.

Unlike in regular betting where you bet on the odds before the game starts, in live betting, the odds can change mid-game, so you have an opportunity to change your bets.

Parlays or Teasers - Parlays are bets where you can combine different games, teams, and even betting types to earn a bigger payout.

However, you need to win all the bets in a parlay for you to receive your payout. If even one of your bets loses, you will lose the entire parlay.

Prop bets - If you want to bet on certain outcomes not usually associated with the traditional moneyline, spread, or O/U betting, you can look into prop bets.
