Seattle and Kansas City Draw Opposing Picks in a Potential Turnaround Game

Sunday Night Football was described as the ultimate trap and turnaround game of the NFL season. Kansas City has been the AFC’s best team, while Seattle has looked nothing like the Super Bowl champion it was a year ago.

One view favors Seattle at home against Kansas City, laying a short number. Kenneth Walker was called the best running back in the NFL because of his ability to produce significant yardage whenever he touches the ball. With Seattle in a home spot and looking to get back on track, the Seahawks are the pick. The argument also rests on the belief that the Chiefs will not go 17-0.

The opposing view favors Kansas City. Walker’s return could allow him to make a statement, and his alternate rushing-yard totals offer plus money. With Rushy Rice out, Walker is expected to see a significant role.

However, Sam Darnold’s turnovers are the main concern. He has committed seven turnovers over the last four games, and that level of ball security makes it difficult to beat Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid. Until Seattle cleans up those mistakes, Kansas City is the preferred side.
