Seattle has allowed the most passing yards in the NFL this this post season and Murray should excel with all of his talented receivers in DeAndre Hopkins, Christian Kirk, Larry Fitzgerald, and Andy Isabella. Russell Wilson, meanwhile, ranks 2nd in the NFL with a 72.8% completion rate for 1,502 yards (300.4 per game). He also has a league-leading 19 touchdown passes and just 3 interceptions. Metcalf ranks 8th in the NFL with 496 receiving yards and is tied for 3rd with 5 touchdowns. Bobby Wagner ranks 5th in the NFL in tackles per game at 52 and the Seahawks are hopeful Jamal Adams will be able to return for this game.

One just has to understand that there will be a decent-sized underdog, one slight favourite, then one more lopsided team. Even the Arizona Cardinals won big in Week 6 — destroying the Cleveland Browns on the road 37-14. Indianapolis is averaging 23.2 points per game this season, although it’s coming off a 31-point drubbing over the lowly Houston Texans in Week 5.
Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals’ offense is off to a blistering through 3 weeks of the 2021 NFL season. They’re averaging over 30 points per game and have dominated some talented defenseive groups already. They’ll be traveling to LA in the game of the week to take on Matthew Stafford and the LA Rams. Both teams are a perfect 3-0 on the year and have been putting up big points each week. Expect more of the same when the two division rivals meet for the early lead in the division race.

Tight end Travis Kelce had 1,083 yards receiving last year and is one of the best at his position in the NFL. The Chargers counter with a defense that was third in both pass defense and scoring defense last season. DE Joey Bosa (12.5) and OLB Melvin Ingram (10.5) accounted for 23 sacks. The Chargers add rookie free safety Derwin James to the equation in 2018.
The defense, especially the secondary, looked formidable through the first eight games. Carolina has struggled getting off the field on third down and has given up too many big plays. In last Sunday’s loss to Cleveland, the Panthers gave up a 51-yard touchdown pass.
