Featured Game: Seattle Seahawks (-1.5/43) vs. Arizona Cardinals
Time: 8:15 pm ET / 5:15 pm PT
Television: Amazon Prime Video
First free play for me on the Wizard Sports Picks site: I’ll be looking for points early and often. Life’s too short to bet the under, right?
All jokes aside, we’ve got two NFC West teams sitting at 2-1. Historically, the over has only cashed in 3 of their last 7 matchups. But here’s the catch—3 of the last 4 meetings IN Arizona have flown over 43. On top of that, every Thursday Night Football game this season has cleared that 43-point mark. Seattle comes in as slight favorites, averaging just under 30 points per game, while Arizona is putting up around 22. Even with James Conner sidelined, the Cardinals have leaned on the passing game, which often leads to faster drives and more scoring opportunities.
Another angle: both defenses rank in the bottom half of the league in passing yards allowed per game, which sets up nicely for points. (While both proving to be strong against the run) If Seattle gets to their usual number, I like Arizona to hang around at home and help push this one over the 43-point total. Thursday Night Lights in ol Glendale, AZ!
Pick: Over 43 -125
