Your Seattle Seahawks, the reigning Super Bowl champions, are rolling into State Farm Stadium this Sunday, September 20, 2026, sitting pretty at 1-0. It’s the first road trip of the season for our boys in blue and green, and you know they are coming off that nasty defensive effort from last week, ready to keep proving why they wear the crown.
A New Era in Arizona Collides With the Champs
This ain’t just another game, Emerald City. While it’s the Cardinals’ home opener and their first division game of the season, it is also the official start of the Mike LaFleur era for them. They’re trying to figure out if they can even get close to the top of our division. And who do they get to face for that big test? The team that just brought the Lombardi Trophy home to the PNW, that’s who. Their quarterback Drew Lock is getting the start today, giving our defense a chance to remind everyone why they put on that great show last week. They’ll be primed to show out again and keep the pressure on.
Betting Line Betrays the Super Bowl Champs
Both teams come into this matchup undefeated, holding a 1-0 record, which only cranks up the heat on this early season showdown. But let’s talk about that betting line: FanDuel Sportsbook has the Cardinals as +4.5 underdogs. Seriously? Against the reigning Super Bowl champions who are already showcasing a lockdown defense? That seems like a slap in the face to our guys, and frankly, it feels like a setup for a major wake-up call for Arizona and anyone else doubting the champs. You better believe our boys will be playing with that number in mind, ready to make a statement.
So get ready, 12s! Kickoff is set for 1:25 p.m. AT from Glendale, Arizona. You can catch all the action nationally on Fox, with Chris Myers, Mark Schlereth, and Megan Olivi on the call. Or, if you’re in Arizona, tune into Arizona Sports 98.7 FM. Our champs are out there, early in the season, defending their title, and this game is a crucial step in showing the rest of the league that last year wasn’t a fluke. Let’s keep that momentum going, baby!
