On Thursday night there is a clash between two NFC west rivals in a matchup with Sam Darnold who was the top QB last week and the Cardinals who allow the 5th least PPG.
To start off with my prediction I want to talk about the Seahawks and Sam Darnold. Going into the season it seemed like there would be a problem with the Seahawks offensive line. But they have allowed the 2nd least sacks this year and the cardinals are 28th in sacks. Sam Darnold will have lots of time to throw and with Jaxson Smith Njigba the Seahawks offense will definitely be able to flow well, and Arizona allows the 2nd most passing yards a game. The Cardinals offense vs Seahawks defense will be a fun matchup because the Cardinals are 2nd in pass blocking win rate and the Seahawks are 2nd in pass rush win rate. This will be a fun one. Kyler Murray is 25th in passing yards this year and now James Conner is out for the year.
My prediction: Seahawks 31, Cardinals 21
