Two 6-3 teams square off in a competitive NFL matchup Thursday night. That means chances to play props and win with Monkey Knife Fight.
The Arizona Cardinals are coming off a miracle win against Buffalo last week and have won four of the past five games, with quarterback Kyler Murray trying to force his way into the MVP discussion.
The Cardinals travel to Seattle to take on the Seahawks. After opening the season with five straight wins, the Seahawks have lost three of the past four games and quarterback Russell Wilson, an early MVP contender, has lost some of that early-season shine.
It’s a quality matchup with two of the best quarterbacks in the game taking the field. Here are some angles to consider for the Week 11 Thursday night matchup on Monkey Knife Fight:

ARIZONA-SEATTLE
MORE OR LESS
Russell Wilson LESS THAN 317.5 PASSING YARDS
This is a large number for Wilson to cover. He has passed for at least 318 yards in five of nine games this season and that includes a Week 7 matchup at Arizona when he threw for 388 yards in a 37-34 loss against the Cardinals. That’s also the only game this season in which the Cardinals have allowed more than 300 passing yards. Wilson is averaging 309.9 passing yards per game this season and Arizona’s pass defense is at least average, maybe a bit better so this seems to lean towards less than the number.
Kyler Murray MORE THAN 291.5 PASSING YARDS
Murray is averaging 263.9 passing yards per game this season and has gone over 291 just twice, though one of those times was in Week 7 against Seattle when he dropped 360 yards on the Seahawks. The wild thing is that’s about an average game for Seattle’s pass defense – they are allowing an average of 353.9 passing yards per game and only one team has passed for less than 292 yards against them this season.
Carlos Hyde MORE THAN 50.5 RUSHING YARDS
Injuries have created a musical chairs aspect to the Seahawks running game and it looks like Hyde is expected to be in the lineup after missing the past three weeks with a hamstring injury. His last game before getting hurt, Hyde rushed for 68 yards on 15 carries against Arizona. There is some risk, since Hyde is just coming back from injury but if he is Seattle’s primary rusher, against a Cardinals Defense allowing 4.5 yards per carry, he should be able to go for more than 50 yards.
DeAndre Hopkins MORE THAN 92.5 RECEIVING YARDS
Hopkins has put up five games with at least 100 receiving yards and is averaging 95.7 receiving yards per game. He faces a Seattle defense with a porous pass defense that has allowed 11 wide receivers, in nine games, to produce more than 91 receiving yards in a game. The Seahawks are also missing a couple of corners due to injury so good luck stopping Hopkins.
RAPID FIRE
DeAndre Hopkins -1.5 receptions vs. Tyler Lockett
Hopkins is averaging 7.4 receptions per game, compared to Lockett’s 6.4 receptions per game this season but Hopkins faces a weak Seahawks pass defense while Lockett goes against a Cardinals pass defense that rates about average. Mix in a knee injury that puts Lockett as questionable going into the game and that’s enough edge to go for Hopkins.
D.K. Metcalf -30.5 receiving yards vs. Christian Kirk
After Metcalf was held to two catches for 28 yards against the Rams, he’s bound for a big bounce back against the Cardinals. On the other hand, in their last matchup, he managed just two catches for 23 yards against Arizona. Kirk is averaging 53.4 yards per game, compared to Metcalf’s 90.4 yards per game and Metcalf’s higher ceiling gives him the edge here.
