Warner, Cardinals hold on to beat Seahawks
Football Betting Lines
11/16/2008 - Seattle, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kurt Warner threw for 395 yards while J.J. Arrington ran for a touchdown and caught a scoring pass, as the Arizona Cardinals fended off a late rally by the Seattle Seahawks and held on for the 26-20 win.
Warner finished 32-of-44 with an interception for the Cardinals (7-3), who have won three straight and own a four-game lead over San Francisco in the weak NFC West. The duo of Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald turned in a dazzling performance. Boldin made 13 grabs for 186 yards and Fitzgerald added 151 yards on 10 receptions.
Neil Rackers kicked four field goals for Arizona.
Matt Hasselbeck looked to spark an anemic offense in his return from a five- game absence due to a back issue. The veteran quarterback completed 17-of-29 passes for 170 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions for the Seahawks (2-8), who have lost three games in a row since besting the 49ers in San Francisco on October 26.
T.J. Duckett ran for a pair of scores in defeat and Deion Branch caught four passes for 54 yards in his return. Branch, the Super Bowl XXXIX MVP as a member of the Patriots, had been hampered by a bruised heel that kept him out for the past five games.

Mayweather picked to beat De La Hoya
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya and his rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived at the MGM Grand here Wednesday amid the pomp and pandemonium befitting two of the biggest stars in the sport who are about to duke it out for the WBC super welterweight crown this Saturday (Sunday in Manila).
As of Wednesday, MySportsbook.com closed its book with Mayweather a favorite to defeat De La Hoya at -170 (a $100 bet wins $70), while De La Hoya is a +140 underdog (a $100 bet wins $140).
Mayweather arrived at about 11:30 a.m. on a big truck with his face and a big "World's Best Pound-for-Pound" sign scribbled across the vehicle. He was accompanied by his entourage made up of rappers and his training team.
A crowd of close to 3,000 eager fans packed the MGM Grand lobby, with their cameras in tow, all trying to vie for position to get a good angle at Mayweather, who is acknowledged as the world's best fighter pound-for-pound.
Eric Gomez, Golden Boy Promotions vice-president, described the fan turnout as "amazing" and swore he had never seen anything quite like this event.
"The crowd was fantastic. Everybody was just too eager to see the two fighters," said ALA manager Michael Aldeguer, who was among those who waited at the lobby together with his ward Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and AJ Banal.
De La Hoya made his own grand entrance at the hotel lobby at around 12:30 p.m. accompanied by GBP chief executive officer Richard Schaefer and trainer Freddie Roach.
The same group of fans who trooped to see Mayweather also lingered around to get a close look at De La Hoya, who has been secretly working out at a Las Vegas gym for days after arriving from his main training camp in Puerto Rico.
The golden boy then took part in a closed-door afternoon workout with Bautista and Banal. The two, along with Aldeguer and wife Christine, as well as an HBO crew were the only ones allowed inside the gym.
De La Hoya and Mayweather take part in today's final press conference before the official weigh-in this Friday.
Ring Magazine, the acknowledged bible of boxing, reported in its June 2007 issue that 12 out of 20 boxing experts it interviewed have favored Mayweather to defeat De la Hoya, with only 8 favoring the latter.
But Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao said in a recent interview with The Freeman's Emmanuel Villaruel that De La Hoya will win by unanimous decision over Mayweather.
