Week 4 of the NFL season starts with a huge divisional clash between the 2-1 Cardinals and 2-1 Seahawks. Who will go 3-1? Here are my same game multi tips for Friday's NFL matchup.
Seattle Seahawks (2-1) at Arizona Cardinals (2-1)
Seattle heads to Arizona with 2 massive wins on the trot and would love to make it 3. They took down the Steelers in Pittsburgh 31-17 and smashed the Saints 44-13. After the 1st qtr against the Saints, the Seahawks led 21-0 and there was no looking back. Sam Darnold was efficient with 2 touchdown passes on just 18 attempts and Jaxon Smith-Njigba was his fav target with 5 catches, 96 yards and 1 TD catch.
Arizona's nice little 2 game winning streak ended last week with a heartbreaking 1 pt loss against the 49ers (16-15). To make matters worse, Arizona starting RB James Conner is out for the season. A bounce back at home will be on their minds when they face NFC West rivals the Seahawks on Friday morning.
Leg #1 - Over 39.5 pts
First up, I like the Over trend when the Seahawks are playing anywhere. It's now 6-3 in their last 9 games and they come off scoring 44 pts against the Saints. Arizona also has a good record when they're playing on their home turf, going 4-0 against the Over. They also scored 27 pts in their first home game of the season.
Leg #2 - Seahawks -1.5
There are a few reasons to like the Seahawks on a short week in Arizona. They love playing on the road having won 7 straight away from Seattle, including their 31-17 win over the Steelers in Week 2. Seattle also has the wood over the Cardinals, going 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings. The Seahawks are looking for an 8th straight win over their divisional rivals too. With Conner doing a season ending injury last week, the Cards will likely struggle to get their offence back up and running after scoring just 15 pts last week.
Leg #3 - Kenneth Walker Anytime Touchdown Scorer
Walker punched it in twice last week and I expect him to get plenty more goal-line carries. He's already picked up 3 rushing TDs this year, all 3 coming in his last 3 games. He's also coming off 13+ carries in those 2 games, so the volume is there.

Over 39.5 pts / Seahawks -1.5 / Kenneth Walker Anytime Touchdown Scorer = $4.60
Value Leg - Jaxon Smith-Njigba Anytime Touchdown Scorer
Sticking with the Seattle theme and a bit more value, Jaxon Smith-Njigba should have another good game. He's coming off a 5 catch, 96 yard and 1 TD statline against the Saints, which was a blowout in the end. In his 3 games this season, he's averaging just over 7 targets per game, making him Sam Darnold's favourite target in the passing game.
