I started following Nate Silver and the Five Thirty Eight blog during the last Presidential election, where they predicted every single state accurately.
Since then, they have started covering football. These guys are the best of the best in the field of statistical analysis in my opinion. Here's a link to their blog.

Key takeaway: Yes, the Seahawks are favored, but not nearly as much as the public thinks. 538 has the Seahawks with a 56% win probability, Cardinals 44%. 1.5 point spread.
