Rondale Moore, Michael Wilson and Zach Ertz Prop Bet Picks for Week 7 Cardinals at Seahawks
We may have found a glitch in the system last week, hitting on a +600 bet in the game between the Rams and Cardinals.
No such no-brainers this week, but the hunt will continue.
The Cardinals are more than touchdown underdogs again, because Kyler Murray returned to practice this week but is not yet ready to suit up in a game.
Quarterback Joshua Dobbs has been bad the past two games, as has the Arizona secondary, which are the main reasons why I’m taking the Seahawks to win this game and cover the 7.5-point spread.
Final score prediction: Seahawks 27, Cardinals 17.
Cardinals vs. Seahawks Betting Prediction
Beyond the standard betting lines, here are three prop bets I like for Cardinals vs. Seahawks in Week 7.
Prop Bet Pick: Cardinals WR Rondale Moore Over/Under 24.5 Receiving Yards
Moore’s production through the air this season has been considerably underwhelming.
He has 15 catches for 111 yards and no touchdowns in six games, an average of a paltry 18.5 yards per game.
However, this over/under has gotten too low. Moore has been targeted 12 times over the past two games and reached 26 receiving yards in each of them.
His playing time has stayed steady, on the field for about two-thirds of the snaps in each contest.
The blinding speed is there, and while it seems clear that Moore doesn’t have the route-running chops to become an above average slot receiver, there should be enough opportunities in this game to get to 25 receiving yards.
Prediction: Rondale Moore over 24.5 receiving yards (-114 at FanDuel)
Prop Bet Pick: Cardinals WR Michael Wilson Over/Under 28.5 Receiving Yards
Wilson has been the opposite of Moore, making huge waves in his first six games as a rookie. He had three catches for 62 yards last week against the Rams, though most of that damage came late when the Cardinals were in scramble mode to rally.
Luckily, they should be in scramble mode again where some late completions can push him over the top.
The thing I like about this bet is Wilson’s penchant for making plays down the field. He has a big catch radius and good hands, and his average yards per reception of 17.6 is fantastic.
Hollywood Brown is the No. 1 receiver on this offense but Wilson continues to carve out his role as No. 2, which means 29 receiving yards is eminently attainable.
Prediction: Michael Wilson over 28.5 receiving yards (-115 at DraftKings)
Prop Bet Pick: Cardinals TE Zach Ertz Over/Under 23.5 Receiving Yards
The Cardinals might be phasing Ertz out offensively, as Trey McBride took over as the No. 1 tight end last week. Ertz played 46 percent of the offensive snaps while hovering around 70 percent previously.
Ertz has averaged only 28 receiving yards per game this year even as the starter, so it’s not a surprise to see this yardage prop dropping.
Ertz did have five targets last week and Joshua Dobbs does seem to like him as a security blanket, but Ertz is trending downward in usage and efficiency.
With his inability to add meaningful yards after the catch, it could take him three receptions to reach 24 receiving yards, and I don’t think he gets to either of those numbers against the Seahawks.
Prediction: Zach Ertz under 23.5 receiving yards (-115 at BetMGM)
- Prop Bets Record This Week: 1-2
- Overall: 29-24
