DraftKings New Jersey: +650 on Kyler Murray and Russell Wilson to Score

Thursday Night NFL Odds Boost

We have a great matchup on Thursday night between the Arizona Cardinals and the Seattle Seahawks. This is the second meeting between the two teams, and the Cardinals took the first matchup at home in an overtime thriller. For the Thursday night matchup, DraftKings offers customers an odds boost if Kyler Murray and Russell Wilson score rushing touchdowns in the meeting.

Originally priced at +550 for Murray and Wilson to score rushing touchdowns, DraftKings boosted the odds to +650, and there is a chance at the boost hitting. Murray has run in for a touchdown in eight of the nine games this season, making him a near-lock to run one in on Thursday. Wilson, however, has not used his feet as much in 2020. He has one rushing touchdown on the year, but he could still make magic against the Cardinals.

In the first meeting with Arizona, Wilson had a season-high 84 rushing yards, and he could scamper for six if the Cardinals lets him loose like they did a few weeks ago. It’s still a longshot to hit, but with two athletic quarterbacks like Murray and Wilson, anything is possible.

Thursday Night Best Bet

Russell Wilson and Kyler Murray are two top-10 quarterbacks in the NFL. Both should be able to put on an electric show Thursday nights in hoping to take sole possession of first place in the NFC West. Arizona won the first matchup between the two, and Seattle looks to even the series and have a first-place edge over the Cardinals.

Points were easy to come by in the first meeting between the two, and the same could happen again on Thursday night. The Seahawks defense ranks 23rd in defensive DVOA (26th passing & 9th rushing). The Cardinals should have no issue moving the ball through the air as multiple teams have done against the Seahawks secondary this year.

On the other side, the Cardinals defense ranks 9th (13th passing & 11th rushing) but have had defense issues in recent weeks. In the last three games, Arizona has allowed an average of 32.7 points per game and 417.7 yards per game. Those numbers scream that we will see a high scoring matchup on Thursday.

Both teams should have no problem moving the football, and ultimately the Cardinals could come away with a win on the road. My projections have the Cardinals a 1.5-point favorite giving the Cardinals a ton of value on the spread and money line.

Expect Arizona to pull out another win on Thursday.
