If Lock struggles, Seattle could have a difficult afternoon. Turnovers, particularly interceptions, could give Arizona short fields and keep the Cardinals in a game where they might otherwise struggle to keep pace offensively.

Lock's ball security and rhythm with JSN determine Seahawks' ability to cover -8.5.

Drew Lock's performance is the key variable in the Seahawks' ability to cover the -8.5 spread against Arizona. If Lock struggles, Seattle could have a difficult afternoon; turnovers, particularly interceptions, could give Arizona short fields and keep the Cardinals in a game where they might otherwise struggle to keep pace offensively. On the other hand, Lock could deliver another performance similar to his first meeting against Arizona. If he protects the football, establishes a rhythm with Smith-Njigba and takes advantage of Seattle's improved offensive line, the Seahawks have enough talent to win comfortably and cover the spread. The Cardinals' defensive struggles make the second scenario entirely possible, but everything depends on which version of Lock shows up.
