The NFL season is back, and we cannot waste our opportunity to make some cash. We’ve seen crazy upsets so far, and we’ve seen a lot of money won. Tonight, we have another shot to make that green with the Seattle Seahawks playing host to the Arizona Cardinals.
On Monkey Knife Fight, there are no massive tournaments where you have to get ridiculously lucky just to cash. You're just playing against the house, and the dudes at MKF have fallen all over themselves to give you really attractive opportunities to make some money.
As always, there are some solid props we can look to take advantage of in Thursday night's game, so let's take a look at some of my favorite props to attack in this one.

Seahawks vs Cardinals: More or Less Contest
- Tyler Lockett OVER 79.5 receiving yards
- Christian Kirk OVER 54.5 receiving yards
Lockett (knee) missed practice on Tuesday, but that’s no guarantee that he misses tonight’s game. In the previous matchup between these two squads, Lockett went nuclear en route to 15 receptions for 200 yards and three touchdowns. He frequently took advantage of the corner opposite Patrick Peterson. As long as he suits up, take the over with a similar matchup coming his way.
Similar to Lockett, this one is banking on this game becoming a shootout. Kirk’s really taken that next step this season, and he’s averaging just over 13 fantasy points per game. Murray has frequently looked in his direction on deep balls, and that’s going to change against an easily exposed Seattle secondary. He could hit this number with just one or two receptions on the night.

Seahawks vs Cardinals: More or Less Contest
- Russell Wilson OVER 315.5 passing yards
- Kyler Murray OVER 285.5 passing yards
- DeAndre Hopkins OVER 94.5 receiving yards
Like we talked about above, Russ is still one of the league’s best quarterbacks, and he’s in the MVP race despite a couple of down games. His defense has struggled to stop anyone this season, and that was true in the first matchup between these two teams when they allowed 37 points in an overtime loss. Now, possibly without multiple running backs for another week, he’s going to be forced to sling the ball around again.
Playing the over here is almost entirely predicated on expecting another shootout. Neither of these defenses has dramatically improved to the point that you would expect them to really put the clamps on. Despite the return of safety Jamal Adams, the Seahawks are still in the bottom third of teams against the pass. With the expectation Wilson bounces back this week, Murray is going to have to throw to keep up. This number is well within reach.
This mark is a pretty hefty one on most occasions, but, against a historically bad passing defense, it is almost reasonable. In their previous overtime matchup, he went for 10 receptions for 103 yards and a score. He would have had greater levels of production if it weren’t for a couple of big plays by other guys on the roster. He’s cleared this mark in five out of nine games this year, and he has a clear path to accomplishing that again tonight.

Seahawks vs Cardinals: Rapid Fire Contest
- Kyler Murray COVERS +30.5 passing yards against Russell Wilson & DeAndre Hopkins COVERs -1.5 receptions against Tyler Lockett
We’ve talked at length to this point about these two prolific offenses. They’re both in the top three in yards per game, and they combine for an average of over 60 points per game. However, Murray has been white-hot as of late. The gap between him and Russ is a sizable one for the bet, but there is a logical path to him covering this mark. Take Murray to cover here. At receiver, you’re taking Hopkins to cover as well. Outside of a few big games, Lockett has been largely a secondary piece in the offense, while Hopkins has been the featured part of the passing game. With Lockett also dealing with an injury, that should give you more confidence in a Hopkins’ cover.
