Seattle Seahawks (5-0) at Arizona Cardinals (4-2), 4:05 pm

Seahawks: This has been an extremely odd series as the road team has prevailed more times than not the past seven seasons. The Seahawks have won their last three games in the desert and are 6-0-1 in their last seven games at Arizona dating back to ’13. During the Russell Wilson Era, Seattle owns a 9-6-1 mark in this series since 2012.

Cardinals: Second-year quarterback Kyler Murray has turned into quite the multiple threat in terms of reaching the end zone via his passing touch as well as his legs. Arizona’s offensive unit has totaled 21 touchdowns in six games and the 2019 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year has had a hand in 16, 10 through the air and six on the ground.

Kansas City Chiefs (5-1) at Denver Broncos (2-3), 4:25 pm

Chiefs: It’s a short week for the defending Super Bowl champions but they are facing a team they have dominated in a big way in recent years. The Chiefs have knocked off the Broncos nine consecutive times dating back to the teams’ second meeting in 2015. And Kansas City has won five straight games at Denver over that span as well.

Broncos: Second-year quarterback Drew Lock returned to the field last Sunday but the Broncos’ offense wound up settling for six field goals – albeit in a win at New England. Denver ran for 135 yards vs. the Patriots, 101 by Phillip Lindsay, and will surely test a Kansas City defense that’s allowing the third-most rushing yards per game in the NFL.
