Quick Answer

Final (Sunday, September 20, 2026): Seattle Seahawks 31, Arizona Cardinals 7 — NFL Week 2, 2026. Our pre-game market-anchored line had the Seahawks by 3.5 (62% to win); the Seahawks won, so that call hit. The last Kalshi price we archived before kickoff had the Seahawks at 66c. The graded recap below covers how it happened and how each player call on our board resolved.

Seattle 31, Arizona 7: the line moved six and a half points toward Arizona during the week, and Drew Lock threw three touchdowns to Smith-Njigba

Lock, starting with Sam Darnold out, hit Jaxon Smith-Njigba for 82 yards on the first drive and again from seven and twelve, and Seattle held Arizona to 151 total yards and 81 through the air. DraftKings opened Seattle by ten and closed it at three and a half; the team the market spent the week backing away from won by twenty-four. Jacoby Brissett threw for 95 yards on 28 attempts.

Seahawks 31—Cardinals 7

Final✓ Call hit

The chip grades the stored probability, which had Arizona at 37.8% — the market’s number, anchored at weight zero from a 3.5-point Seattle margin — and Seattle won, so it reads a hit. The model’s own read was Seattle by 5.8, the right team and a point and three-quarters stronger than the anchor; the game finished twenty-four apart. No position was published: the lean sat on the same side as the price, no weekly-edges ledger row exists for 2026_02_SEA_ARI, and the board published the read in points. The thing worth recording about the market on this page is the move. DraftKings opened Seattle minus 10 and closed minus 3.5, six and a half points toward Arizona, with the total falling from 44.5 to 40.5 — a move of the size that usually means a quarterback, and this recap does not know from its sources whether Darnold’s status was the whole of it. The verdict the code writes on that move is toward-loser: the line spent the week walking toward the team that lost by twenty-four. The Wednesday article did not touch the game. The player board had one visible call and it lost: Lock under 1.5 passing touchdowns at 36.5c, STRONG, on a 0.9 projection, and he threw three, all to Smith-Njigba. Two passing-yards strikes also sit in the ledger, a Lock under at 199.5 that lost on his 235 and a Brissett over at 224.5 that lost on his 95; neither counts. Three WATCH rows went none and three and are graded apart.

Q2

Brissett to McBride from two, and a 7-7 half that was Arizona’s only score

Brissett hit Trey McBride from two three seconds into the second quarter for 7-7, and nobody scored again before the half. It was Arizona’s only red-zone trip and its only touchdown; McBride caught eight of ten targets for 41 yards, and no other Cardinal had more than eighteen.

What this recap does not know

  • The ledger has not graded this game — result, pnl_cents and graded_at were null on every Week 2 prop row when this was written, and no game-level row exists. If the ledger ever disagrees with anything above, the ledger is right and this page is wrong.
  • ESPN had not attached an AP recap to this game when this was written. Every moment above is built from the scoring log and the box score; there are no quotes and no description of plays beyond what the log carries.
  • Sam Darnold’s status is inferred from the box score (Lock took every Seattle attempt) and from Darnold’s Week 1 hip injury on this site’s own Week 1 recap; this recap did not read an inactive list, and it does not know whether the six-and-a-half-point line move was entirely about the quarterback.
  • The 37.8% the chip graded is the anchored (market) probability from a 3.5-point stored margin, re-anchored by the Monday refresh after the game; DraftKings closed at 3.5. Both are stated rather than reconciled.
  • ESPN reports attendance as zero for this game, which is a feed gap; no attendance is stated. No weather block was carried.
  • This recap does not know what the Kalshi book did during the game. Nothing above is a live price.
  • The stored fair-value row was re-anchored by the Monday 08:00 ET refresh, after this game was played, on a later pre-kickoff line capture; the number above is the row as it stands, not the number the page showed on Sunday night.

Drew Lock starts for the champs as Arizona's revamped front meets the NFL's best four-man rush.

Seattle arrives in Glendale as the defending Super Bowl LX champion and the consensus No. 1 team in most national power rankings — without Sam Darnold, who was ruled out with a glute injury, putting Drew Lock under center for the second straight week. Arizona is 1-0 under first-year head coach Mike LaFleur with Jacoby Brissett at quarterback after Kyler Murray was released in March and signed with Minnesota. Seattle has won nine straight in the series, but Arizona's opener at the Chargers was the biggest upset of Week 1 and the Cardinals' defensive interior is trending the wrong way on the practice report.

Macdonald's front four vs. Arizona's rebuilt offensive line

Edge: Seahawks

Seattle got home three times on Drake Maye in the opener and pressured him on 38.1% of dropbacks while blitzing on only 31% — the same four-man-rush formula that produced a 41.1% combined pressure rate across Super Bowl LX and Week 1. Arizona's line is essentially new: Isaac Seumalo (three years, $31.5M), right tackle Elijah Wilkinson and center Hjalte Froholdt alongside LT Paris Johnson Jr., with right guard unsettled after second-round rookie Chase Bisontis went to IR in the preseason and Isaiah Adams missed the opener (Jon Gaines II started all 75 snaps in his place). Seumalo (shoulder) was a DNP Wednesday before returning to full participation Thursday; Adams (knee) was limited both days, so the right guard spot is still genuinely open.

Josh Sweat's rotation vs. Seattle's returning starting five

Close to even

Seattle returns all five 2025 starters — LT Charles Cross, LG Grey Zabel, C Jalen Sundell, RG Anthony Bradford, RT Abraham Lucas — the first time the franchise has done that since 2003, and all five played 100% of snaps in Week 1. It was not a clean night: Seattle committed 10 penalties for 98 yards including multiple false starts, and PFF charted pressures allowed by Sundell, Cross and Lucas, though Lock was sacked just once behind them. Arizona's edge group is a committee — Josh Sweat (12 sacks in 2025) played only 29 of 55 snaps in the opener, with Baron Browning and Zaven Collins at 27 apiece — and the Cardinals still sacked Justin Herbert three times. Sweat was a rest DNP Wednesday and full Thursday.

Trey McBride and Kendrick Bourne vs. Seattle's coverage

Edge: Seahawks

Arizona's Week 1 production came from the middle of the field: Trey McBride caught nine of 12 targets for 95 yards and the go-ahead touchdown, and slot receiver Kendrick Bourne caught eight passes for 75 yards, while Marvin Harrison Jr. was held to one catch for 33 yards on three targets. Seattle's corners in the opener were Devon Witherspoon (70 of 71 snaps) and Josh Jobe (70), with Nehemiah Pritchett at 53 (75%) as the nickel; Jobe sealed the game with an end-zone interception and Pritchett got the first pick of his career. Witherspoon lined up in five different alignments in 2025 — slot, outside, box and on the line — so which receiver he travels with is not something reporting has confirmed for this game. McBride (rest/back) and safety Budda Baker (rest) were Wednesday DNPs and returned to full participation Thursday.

Allgeier/Love committee vs. the light-box run defense

Edge: Seahawks

Arizona's backfield split in Week 1 leaned veteran: Tyler Allgeier took 17 carries for 61 yards (3.6 avg) on 41 snaps, while No. 3 overall pick Jeremiyah Love took 11 for 41 with his first NFL touchdown on 32 snaps, still working back from an ankle sprain. Love is now completely off the Week 2 injury report. Seattle's run defense held New England's Rhamondre Stevenson to 2.8 yards on 18 carries out of light boxes, the same profile PFF flagged as the 2025 unit's signature. Both Arizona backs averaged under four yards per carry in the opener; LaFleur has said neither back is a 100% workload player.

Jadarian Price vs. an Arizona interior that is losing bodies

Close to even

Seattle replaced Super Bowl LX MVP Kenneth Walker III — who left for Kansas City in free agency — with first-round rookie Jadarian Price (No. 32 overall), and Zach Charbonnet is on PUP after a January ACL tear. Price went 10 carries for 52 yards (5.2 avg) in his debut with George Holani adding eight carries for 29; Seattle rushed for 97 yards total on only 48 plays. Arizona's answer up front is thinning: starting nose tackle Roy Lopez went from limited Wednesday to a full DNP Thursday with a groin injury, and his backup Andrew Billings was added to the report Thursday with a knee issue, leaving 2025 first-rounder Walter Nolen III and Dante Stills as the load-bearing interior.

Quarterback play · both directions

Drew Lock vs. Jacoby Brissett — two confirmed starters, neither the guy you expected

Close to even

Both starting quarterbacks are confirmed.** Seattle's Sam Darnold was ruled out for Week 2 with a glute injury suffered on the opening drive of the opener (a hip fracture was ruled out; Mike Macdonald said the team has no plans to add a quarterback), so Drew Lock starts. Lock went 16-of-22 for 187 yards, one touchdown, no interceptions and a 113.3 rating after entering cold, including the 45-yard fourth-and-1 touchdown to Jaxon Smith-Njigba that tied the game. **Arizona's quarterback is Jacoby Brissett, not Kyler Murray** — Murray was released March 11 and signed with Minnesota, where he is the Vikings' Week 1 starter. Brissett went 27-of-37 for 277 yards, one touchdown and no picks, plus six carries for 14 yards.

Coaching staffs · Week 2 availability

Macdonald/Durde/Fleury vs. LaFleur/Hackett/Rallis

Edge: Seahawks

Mike Macdonald calls Seattle's defense himself with Aden Durde as coordinator; Brian Fleury, promoted after Klint Kubiak left to become the Raiders' head coach, called his first NFL game in Week 1. Arizona's staff is brand new outside of defense: Mike LaFleur (hired Feb. 2 from the Rams) with Nathaniel Hackett at offensive coordinator, while Nick Rallis was retained as defensive coordinator. On availability, Seattle's only two Thursday DNPs were Darnold (glute) and safety Ty Okada (hamstring); Nick Emmanwori was limited both days with an ankle/hip issue after July ankle surgery, Tory Horton (hamstring) was full both days and would play his first snap in 318 days, and Cooper Kupp (back) went from limited to full. Arizona had 12 players on Thursday's report, with Lopez the lone DNP.

Source: Seattle Sports — Thursday injury report

What this read does not know

  • No Friday game-status designations were available at research time. Every Seattle and Arizona status below Out is practice participation only; the Friday Out/Doubtful/Questionable sheet had not posted.
  • Whether Nick Emmanwori plays. He was limited Wednesday and Thursday with an ankle injury (July surgery) plus a newly added hip injury; he missed the preseason and the opener. Field Gulls called his availability potentially critical to this matchup. No source confirms he will play.
  • Whether Ty Okada plays. DNP both Wednesday and Thursday with a hamstring; Macdonald said he had "a chance" for Sunday, but Athlon noted it is rare for a Thursday DNP to play. Rodney Thomas II started in his place in Week 1.
  • Arizona's nose tackle. Roy Lopez went limited → DNP with a groin injury and backup Andrew Billings was newly added with a knee injury. No source states who starts at nose if both are limited or out.
  • Arizona's right guard. Isaiah Adams (knee) was limited both days after missing the opener. Whether Adams or Jon Gaines II starts is not confirmed anywhere in available reporting.
  • Which receiver Devon Witherspoon covers. Witherspoon lined up in five alignments in 2025 (slot, outside, box, defensive line). No source confirms whether he travels with Marvin Harrison Jr., matches inside on Kendrick Bourne, or stays at left corner.
  • Garrett Williams' and Max Melton's snap ceilings. Williams (Achilles, torn in December) was limited both days and missed the opener; Melton (ankle) was limited both days. No source gives a projected snap count for either.
  • Sam Darnold's return timeline. Reports conflict: Athlon says the hope is Week 4 or 5; Mike Florio reported a potentially longer 4-6 week window. He avoided IR and a hip fracture was ruled out. Arizona's own preview cited "three to four weeks." None of these is a team announcement.
  • Week 1 scoring-play discrepancy. Chargers.com's official scoring summary credits Arizona's fourth-quarter 3-yard touchdown pass to David Njoku; ESPN, NFL Daily, FantasyPros and Chat Sports all credit Trey McBride with the go-ahead touchdown as part of his 9-95-1 line. I could not reconcile these and have used McBride, which the majority of sources support. **Njoku's presence on Arizona's roster is unverified** — he does not appear on ESPN's Cardinals depth chart.
  • Cooper Kupp's and Tory Horton's actual roles. Kupp went limited → full with a back injury; Bob Condotta characterized Bradford/Jones/Kupp as likely veteran rest days rather than real injuries, but that is reporter inference, not team confirmation. Horton has not played since Week 9 of 2025 and no source gives his expected snap share.
  • Arizona's Week 1 team rushing total allowed. A widely circulated azcentral social post referenced Arizona "allowing over 150 rushing" yards, but the sourced box-score components (Hampton 12-43, Mitchell 4-9, Herbert 5-29) do not support that. I could not verify the team figure.
  • Pressure-rate and pass-block-win-rate figures for this specific matchup. No 2026 in-season team-level pressure or pass-block-win-rate data for either offensive line was available in reporting from the last 14 days.
  • Whether Terrion Arnold or Trevon Diggs is active. Diggs practiced Sept. 16; Arnold is on the exempt/reserve list. Neither appeared in Week 1 defensive snap counts and no source states their Week 2 availability.

    Before kickoff: NFC West math: Seahawks at Cardinals

    How this read is built →

    Written before the game and kept as published. Final: Seattle Seahawks 31, Arizona Cardinals 7 — the graded call is above.

    Seattle Seahawks at Arizona Cardinals is a NFC West game, the first of two meetings, with the rematch in Week 9. The model has the Seahawks by 6 (66%) off a -4.4 to +4.1 rating gap. Division games carry weight the model does not price: head-to-head is the first tiebreaker in the NFC West, so a win here is worth more in January than the standings column shows.

    The sharpest unit gap in the game runs one way: the Seahawks offense grades +0.6 (14th of 32) against a Cardinals defense at -3.8 (30th) — 4.4 points of separation on our scale, and the single biggest reason the line sits where it does. Going the other direction, the Cardinals offense (-0.6, 22nd) meets the Seahawks defense (+2.3, 2nd), a 2.9-point gap. Special teams adds to it: the Seahawks grade +1.1, 1st in the league, against -0.0 (29th) on the other side — close to a point of hidden margin.

    On the standings side, NFC West games are the ones that decide the tiebreakers. Head-to-head record is the first tiebreaker between two teams in the same division, and division record is the next — so the value of this result is not just the win column. They meet again in Week 9, which makes a sweep the outcome with real leverage on the NFC West race.

    Zoom out to the full season and the model projects the Cardinals at 6.0 wins (favored in 2 of 17) and the Seahawks at 10.1 (favored in 14) — 4.2 wins apart across the year. By win probability this is the 7th-hardest game on the Cardinals' schedule and the 12th-hardest on the Seahawks'.

    Recent history, for context only: 48 regular-season meetings since 2002, 30-17 in the Seahawks' favour. They last met in 2025: Seahawks won 44-22 in November. Over their last 4 meetings the Cardinals are 0-4. It is not an input to the line — rosters turn over faster than series records do.

    Does the model earn this number? In 448 of the 3266 walk-forward games it has been graded on (2013-2024, no market line used), it landed in the 65-70% range. Those favorites went 68%. The 66% on the Seahawks here sits in that same band, and the history backs it.

    Kalshi listed this game as KXNFLGAME-26SEP20SEAARI, and the contract has settled now that the game has been played. The last price we archived before kickoff is in the settled-market section on this page; there is no live price and no position left to take.

    Watch the breakdown: Seahawks vs Cardinals

    Seahawks vs Cardinals — frequently asked

    Who won Seahawks vs Cardinals in Week 2?

    Seattle Seahawks 31, Arizona Cardinals 7 — final, played Sunday, September 20, 2026; our pre-game market-anchored line had the Seahawks by 3.5 (62% to win), and the Seahawks won, so that call hit. The full graded recap, with every player call resolved, is on this page.

    Who did the model favor in Seahawks vs Cardinals before kickoff?

    Before kickoff the market line favored the Seahawks by 3.5 points, a 62% win probability over the Cardinals. That number is kept on this page as the record of the call; Kalshi's KXNFLGAME-26SEP20SEAARI market has since settled, so no price on it is live.

    How much does a NFC West result matter here?

    Head-to-head is the first tiebreaker between two NFC West teams and division record is the next, so this result carries more than one game of standings weight. These two also meet in Week 9. Our model does not adjust for any of that — it prices the Seahawks by 6 on ratings and home field alone.

    How do you take a position on Seahawks vs Cardinals?

    The contract will be KXNFLGAME-26SEP20SEAARI on Kalshi, a CFTC-regulated exchange available in most states, with sports contracts restricted in some. It has not opened yet; when it does, the model would take the Cardinals at 36c or below, or the Seahawks at 60c or below. There is no point spread — you buy a yes or no contract on a team and it settles at $1 or $0.

    When and where do the Cardinals host the Seahawks?

    Seattle Seahawks visit the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, September 20, 2026 — a Sunday game in NFL Week 2, at State Farm Stadium, Glendale, AZ.

    What does the model project for the Cardinals and Seahawks this season?

    Across all 17 games the model projects the Cardinals at 6.0 wins (favored in 2) and the Seahawks at 10.1 (favored in 14). This game ranks 7th-hardest on the Cardinals' schedule and 12th-hardest on the Seahawks', by win probability.

    What are the Kalshi odds for Seahawks vs Cardinals?

    Kalshi listed this game as KXNFLGAME-26SEP20SEAARI, and the contract has settled now that the game has been played. The last price we archived before kickoff is in the settled-market section on this page; there is no live price and no position left to take.

    Could you trade Seahawks vs Cardinals on Kalshi?

    This game has been played, so the Week 2 market KXNFLGAME-26SEP20SEAARI has settled — there is no position left to take on it. While it was open it traded as an event contract rather than a point spread: Kalshi is a CFTC-regulated exchange available in most states, with sports contracts restricted in some, you bought a YES or NO contract on a team between 1c and 99c, and it settled at $1 or $0, so the price paid was the break-even probability. Kalshi lists the next week's games on the same terms.

    How often does the model win when it is 66% on a team like the Seahawks?

    68% of the time. Over 3266 walk-forward games from 2013-2024 — trained only on prior seasons, no market line as an input — the model put a team in the 65-70% range 448 times, and those teams won 68% of them. The Seahawks at 66% over the Cardinals sit in that band, off a 6-point model line. Straight-up across all 3266 graded games the model picked winners at 59.6%, with a Brier score of 0.236 against 0.25 for a coin flip.
