ESPN Chalks Vegas experts are here to provide analysis and best bets for all Week 7 games, including Sunday nights Seattle-Arizona matchup.Note: All odds courtesy of the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook as of Saturday morning.Home page for all Week 7 gamesMatchup: Seattle Seahawks at Arizona CardinalsSpread: Opened Arizona -1; now Arizona -1 Total: Opened 43.5; now 44 PickCenter public consensus pick: 63 percent SeattlePublic perception: The public is siding with the Seahawks as theyve won three straight after their annual loss to the Rams. This is a little surprising, as the Cardinals seem to have turned around their season with two straight convincing victories.Wiseguys view: Sharps are split on this game, as the line has hardly budged the past week. These teams are seen as pretty equal, and Seattle will probably be the most popular underdog teaser play of the week.Dave Tuleys take: This is a key game in the NFC West race, as the Cardinals need to keep from falling three games behind in the loss column. But Im not just picking them because of their nearly must-win situation. The Cardinals offense is really starting to click now, not only with the passing game (and I certainly prefer Carson Palmer in the starting lineup), but with David Johnsons emergence as a top running back. Now, I know the Seahawks have the No. 3 rushing defense with just 74.6 yards allowed per game, but this reminds me of the Dallas-Green Bay tilt two weeks ago, when everyone was talking about the Packers No. 1 run defense and then the Cowboys ran for 191 yards. The Cardinals might not run for that much, but they should have enough success to slow down the Seahawks pass rush. On the other side of the ball, Russell Wilson has been running for his life, and it wont get easier against the Arizona pass rush.The pick: Cardinals -1* Vapormax Hvit Dame Norge .

BOSTON -- Charlotte Hornets coach Steve Clifford was impressed with what he saw from the San Antonio Spurs -- sans the retired Tim Duncan -- on Wednesday night in North Carolina.They have a guy who is an MVP candidate (Kawhi Leonard), Pau Gasol and Tony Parker who are probably Hall of Famers, (LaMarcus) Aldridge, who is a perennial All-Star and Danny Green who has been a starter on two championship teams, Clifford said after losing to the Spurs 119-114. Plus they have a guy (Gregg Popovich) who is maybe the best coach of our time -- except for all that theyre just OK.The Spurs, 8-0 on the road, 12-3 overall and winners of seven straight overall, visit the Boston Celtics in a Friday matinee that should cause people to interrupt looking for shopping bargains to watch.San Antonio comes to Boston having beaten the Celtics nine straight times since Boston swept the two-game 2010-11 season series.The Celtics are coming off a perfect 3-0 road trip, capped by Wednesday nights wire-to-wire win over the Nets in Brooklyn.For us to win three games in a row on the road and one of the games being a back-to-back, is big for us, Bostons Avery Bradley said Wednesday. I think it does a lot for our team, our confidence level.And not only that, but this might be our fourth game playing together as a team or fifth game with everybody, so Im happy with how were growing together every single game. Al (Horford)s playing well, Jae (Crowder)s playing well, everybodys just playing basketball.Both Horford (concussion) and Crowder (ankle) rejoined the team on this trip. And while defeating Detroit, Minnesota and Brooklyn on the road is hardly a reason to make plans for the NBA Finals, three road wins is three road wins -- and the Celtics are 9-6 coming into this game.ddddddddddddLeonard is truly playing like an MVP for the Spurs. He scored 30 at Charlotte and is averaging 25.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game this season. His time has come.The Spurs opened their current three-game trip with what Popovich called a pathetic 96-91 over the undermanned Mavericks in Dallas before winning at Charlotte. The trip ends Friday in Boston.The Celtics, having an early holiday feast, waltzed all over the woeful Nets Wednesday night. They built an early 17-point lead, blew and then recovered to cruise.I think we played very well, Marcus Smart said. We came out really aggressive. We closed out well. That little hiccup we had, but other than that everything else was great.Having their entire roster on the floor, and having the players finally get to grow together, makes the picture brighter for Brad Stevens team.There is more experience, more depth, more comfort to this team, Smart said. Everybody is ready to play now. Everybody is healthy. Like I said, everybody is clicking again.Now, if the Celtics can just figure out a way to end that long streak against the Spurs, perennial contenders in the NBA playoff picture ... the model franchise of the NBA, with or without the great Duncan.
