Arizona Cardinals DFS Spin
Cardinals QB Kyler Murray remains on injured reserve and will not play in Week 7 against the Seahawks. The Cardinals activated Murray’s 21-day practice window but the franchise quarterback was not yet ready for game action. He’ll remain on injured reserve through Week 7 while Joshua Dobbs remains under center for the seventh time this season. Murray will now set his sights on a Week 8 return to the active roster.
Seattle Seahawks DFS Spin
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said WR DK Metcalf (hip, questionable) is a game-time decision. Metcalf returned to a limited practice Friday, putting him on track to play. The hip injury is new for Metcalf, who has been playing though a rib injury since Week 2, but shouldn’t keep him out for Sunday’s matchup with the Cardinals.

Cardinals vs. Seahawks Prediction:
Take Seattle. The Seahawks should have beaten the Bengals last Sunday in Cincinnati but their offense was bogged down in the red zone. The Cardinals ride a six-game road losing streak into today’s game and their 1-5 start is tied for their worst through six games since the franchise move to Arizona. They were competitive to start the season but their lack of overall talent has proven to be a determent of late. I expect the Seahawks to take out their frustrations today on their NFC West rivals.
Cardinals vs. Seahawks NFL Prediction: SEATTLE SEAHAWKS -8.5
