When it comes to NFL betting, there is often few better wagers to gamble on than NFL odds boosts. They are bets that are exactly what they sound like: promotions from sportsbooks that move the odds in your favor on certain bets. Most of them are the specific prop bets that you might be searching for by yourself, and oftentimes the odds are fairly enticing. Rarely can you make a lot of money on these bets because of limits, but our job is to highlight the best NFL prop bets and NFL picks to wager on every weeks. We scour the internet trying to find the best NFL odds boosts for you every day from every sport. We’re going to delve into the tantalizing Week 11 Thursday Night Football matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals in today’s post.
This is a matchup defined by the two quarterbacks, so there is no reason to deviate from Kyler Murray and Russell Wilson. There were very few odds boosts on the market that did not involve one of these two quarterbacks, so I embraced it and listed my three favorites. Murray has been a dynamic playmaker this season for Arizona, and he is a key reason, along with DeAndre Hopkins, that Arizona is in contention in the NFC West. Wilson has led the Seahawks’ offense to a lot of points this season, but he’s been plagued with turnovers the past few weeks. Either way, these two quarterbacks put on a show last month when these two teams met in Arizona, and I expect more of the same tonight in Seattle.

NFL Picks: Kyler Murray Rushing Touchdown & Cardinals Win (+300 FanDuel)
When it comes to rushing, there are very few statistics about Murray that should be surprising. He ranks eighth in the NFL in rushing yards, is second in the league with 10 rushing touchdowns and leads the league with 6.9 yards per rush. Murray has just been consistent when it comes to his production with his legs, having scored at least one rushing touchdown in eight of Arizona’s nine games this season. If Seattle brings the type of pressure it has used to help take the onus off its secondary, Murray can easily escape and break off a long touchdown run.
The bigger question with this bet is whether or not Arizona can travel to Seattle and win. The Cardinals have won four of their last five games, though they could just as easily be coming into this game on a two-game skid. Seattle has lost three of its four games since the bye, as its defense has only gotten worse and Wilson has made mistakes. He’s thrown multiple interceptions in three of the last four weeks and those were the three games Seattle has lost. Arizona proved to be an opportunistic defense and intercepted Wilson three times in the desert last month. When Wilson makes mistakes, the Seahawks lose, and Wilson has been making a lot of mistakes recently.

Only two teams have held Murray to fewer than 40 rushing yards this season, and I don’t think this Seattle unit will do the job. Seattle ranks fourth in the league in rushing defense, but there are very few teams that elect to run the ball often against the Seahawks. The teams with strong rushing attacks like Minnesota and Arizona have had plenty of success against the Seattle defense, but then there are teams that don’t run the ball a lot because they are either behind on the scoreboard or having too much success throwing the ball. The Cardinals, though, excel at the designed runs with Murray in the run-pass option, and that is something that works well against aggressive pass rushes like Seattle’s.
Wilson, though, is not given as much credit for his rushing, and he is a dynamic playmaker with his feet, too. He won’t score many rushing touchdowns, but he is elusive and take advantage of when plays break down to pick up yards. He’s had three games with at least 40 yards rushing in the last five weeks, including a season-high 84 yards against Arizona. He won’t electrify the stat sheet like Murray or Lamar Jackson, but Wilson is very adept with his legs and should be able to show it off this week against the Cardinals.

NFL Picks: Kyler Murray & Russell Wilson 5+ Combined Touchdowns (+100 PointsBet)
These two teams scored eight touchdowns in the first meeting of the season with both Murray and Wilson tossing three touchdowns. Murray has an advantage in this wager because he has ran for a touchdown in all but one game this season, so he isn’t relying as much on his arm as Wilson. Seattle has thrown for the most touchdown passes this season, and Arizona has proven to be susceptible to aerial attacks the last two weeks. As Seattle continues to get healthier on offense, the Seahawks should be more two-dimensional and be able to exploit the passing attack more. If anything, the addition of a running game will give Wilson some more options off play-action to throw touchdowns.
Although we think of Murray more as a runner than a passer, he has become much better at throwing the ball over the last few weeks. He threw three touchdown passes in consecutive game before being held to just the game-winning Hail Mary last week, but the Seahawks secondary presents far fewer problems than Buffalo’s did. Murray carved up this unit for three touchdowns right before Arizona’s bye, and Seattle’s pressure will only allow Murray to showcase his athleticism more. If Murray continues his pace and runs for a score, it won’t take more than a touchdown pass or two to hold up his end of this bet.
