Chiefs–Seahawks Sunday night: betting preview highlights Walker rush over and Darnold interception

Ahead of Sunday Night Football in Week 7, the Chiefs are listed as 2.5-point underdogs to the Seahawks and four specific player and game bets are highlighted.

The Story

The Kansas City Chiefs and the Seattle Seahawks meet on Sunday night in Week 7, with Seattle entering at 3-3 after a primetime loss to the Denver Broncos and with a defence ranked second through six weeks in EPA/Play.

The Chiefs, who are off to a 5-0 start after a Week 6 win against the Chargers and already had their bye, are listed as 2.5-point underdogs against Seattle.

One highlighted game wager has the Chiefs on the moneyline at +120.

The preview also points to an anytime touchdown option for Chiefs rookie Xavier Worthy, listing him at +225, alongside the claim that he has 21 receptions on 29 targets for 206 yards and a touchdown this season.

For the Seahawks’ run game, the preview recommends an over on Kenneth Walker III rushing yards at 87.5, listed at -114, noting that Walker is averaging 6.3 yards per carry and has rushed for 117-plus yards in four of his five appearances.

It also cites that Walker is averaging over 6.0 yards per carry this year and that he has been one of the league’s most explosive weapons, including that Seattle allows 3.5 yards per carry.

Another highlighted bet targets turnovers in the passing game, with Sam Darnold to throw an interception listed at -103.

The preview states that Darnold has thrown seven interceptions in four games since returning from a glute injury and that he ranks second in the NFL in interceptions.

It further points to Kansas City’s pass defence, saying it is fifth in EPA/Pass this season and has recorded five picks in as many games.
