2. NFL teams on upset alert in Week 11 – Arizona Cardinals

Playing without Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins for a second week in a row came back to bite the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. The Carolina Panthers ripped apart the Cardinals, winning 34-10 in Glendale as Arizona struggled in all phases of the game.

This result is discouraging for the Cardinals but they are still in a good position to win the NFC West after the Los Angeles Rams got embarrassed on Monday night by the San Francisco 49ers. Arizona does need to get Murray back as soon as possible, especially with a difficult matchup against the desperate Seattle Seahawks on tap for Sunday.

The books appear confident that Murray will be back, setting the Cardinals as 2.5-point road favorites, but even with him available winning in Seattle won’t be easy. This should also be something of a kitchen sink game for the Seahawks, who are just 3-6 and have to start stacking up wins to get back in the playoff hunt.

Another week back from finger surgery should have Russell Wilson more focused as well, making it a much more difficult task for the Cardinals to win here. Arizona will have to be on top of its game in order to win a tricky road trip to Seattle this week.
