Arizona Cardinals welcome Seattle Seahawks to State Farm Stadium for Sunday Night Football. The Seahawks are 5-0 his season and coming off the back of a bye week, meaning that they will be well-rested for the encounter. The Cardinals are 4-2 and that's despite having one of the easier fixture lists of the early season. The Seahawks are enjoying a franchise-best start to the campaign. The Cardinals will have their hands full keeping DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett quiet, the wide receivers enjoying a flying start to the season. What may worry Seahawks fans is that their defence has proved so generous in those five otherwise dominant games, conceding at least 25 in four games. They will be encouraged by the fact that they have won three of their last four games against Arizona, yet the Cardinals will also take encouragement from the fact that they won their most recent meeting.

Arizona has had the shorter recovery time since their last match, a Monday Night Football affair. However, they could be buoyed by an improving defence and the form of players like quarterback Kyler Murray who could cause plenty of problems for Seattle. Popular sportscaster Skip Bayless waxed lyrical about Murray recently, stating that he believes he can be even better than Russell Wilson of the Seahawks. He's in good company with that opinion and this match will be viewed as a duel between two key players. The quality of Wilson and Murray set this up as a high-scoring game. We suggest backing over 55 points to be scored.
