After a 1-3 start, Arizona has won five of its last six games and finds itself atop the NFC West Division standings. Quarterback Kyler Murray's play has been consistent, having thrown for 12 touchdowns against only three interceptions this season. He has added four touchdowns rushing with 371 yards rushing. Against the Jets two weeks ago, Murray threw for 266 yards and a score, while rushing for 21 yards on three attempts, including two touchdowns.
Tight end Trey McBride, despite missing one game earlier this season due to a concussion, leads the team in receiving with 552 yards on 49 catches. Strangely, his only score this season has come on the ground, a two yard run. Rookie Marvin Harrison Jr. has 33 receptions for 499 yards and a team-leading six touchdowns. Running back James Conner has been a consistent source of production as well, rushing for 697 yards and five touchdowns this season. See which team to pick here.
Why the Seahawks can cover
Seattle snapped a two game losing streak with a shocking finish in San Francisco on a Geno Smith 13-yard rushing touchdown with only 12 seconds left. Smith is among the league leaders in passing yards, having thrown for 2,781 yards and 11 touchdowns against 11 interceptions. The veteran must do a better job of getting rid of the ball quicker though, as he's been sacked 32 times, fourth most in the league.
The Seahawks' dynamic playmakers are becoming that much more dangerous with the emergence of wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The second year phenom now leads the team in catches (60) and receiving yards (678) following back-to-back games of 180 and 110 yards receiving. DK Metcalf returned after a two-game absence to catch seven passes for 70 yards vs. San Francisco, increasing his total to 638 yards this season. In what should be a competitive game, the Seahawks' receivers, in addition to running back Kenneth Walker, will likely play a key role in determining the outcome this week.
