THE INSIDERS ROOM'S 10* NFC WEST TOTAL OF THE YEAR (4-1 ALL NFL IN WEEK 6!)
(NFL) Seattle vs. Arizona,
Total: 56.00 | -103.00 Over
Result: Win
This is a 10* NFC WEST TOTAL OF THE YEAR on OVER Hawks/Cards.

Seattle is 5-0 straight-up and 4-1 against-the-spread. Its only "ATS" loss occurred two weeks ago though in its come-from-behind 27-26 road win at Minnesota. Will rest now lead to rust for Russell Wilson and this red-hot Seattle offense? Anything's possible, just ask Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.

Arizona enters on top form. The Cardinals are back on track, sitting at 4-2 straight-up and off back-to-back dominant efforts, most recently winning in Dallas last weekend by a score of 38-10. Granted, their last two wins have been against the Jets and Cowboys, but the defense continues to be a strong point for Arizona, holding those teams to a combined 20 points.

Divisional contests always mean the most, and they almost always mean the most to the home side. This is the first of two matchups between the Seahawks and Cardinals this season, but Arizona has to be feeling pretty confident here as it's 4-1 against-the-spread the last five in this series. Both Seattle and Arizona have played weak competition to this point. The Seahawks have beaten Atlanta, New England, Dallas, Miami, and Minnesota, five teams with a combined record of 9-20. The Cardinals have played San Francisco, Washington, Detroit, Carolina, the Jets, and Dallas, six teams who have combined to go 11-21.

Arizona has to play to a single "over" yet this year and Seattle has seen the total go "under" in two straight. This is the first "difficult" game that either of these teams have played this year and The Insiders Room discord is expecting a 'shootout,' not a 'chess match.' Note that Seattle has seen the total go OVER the number in eight of its last 11 after allowing 26 points or more in its previous outing, while also winning SU and losing ATS at the same time.

Look for Russell Wilson and Kyler Murray to be the main storylines in tomorrow's summaries.

The play is the OVER!

Good luck, NP
