The undefeated Kansas City Chiefs travel to Seattle to face the Seahawks on Sunday Night Football in Week 7. Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. ET on October 25 at Lumen Field, with the game airing on NBC and streaming on Peacock.
Kansas City (5-0) is coming off a convincing 22-6 win over the Chargers, while Seattle (3-3) looks to bounce back after a 17-14 overtime loss to the Broncos. Sunday's matchup also marks Kenneth Walker III's return to Seattle after helping the Seahawks win Super Bowl LX last season.
Rather than focusing on the side or total, I think the best value in this game is in the NFL player prop market.
Below, I'll break down my three favorite predictions involving Patrick Mahomes, Kenneth Walker III, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, along with the stats, trends, and matchups supporting each pick.
Mahomes Has Cleared This Line in 3 of 5 Games
This season, Mahomes has rushed for 23, 17, and 16 yards against the Broncos, Colts, and Chargers, respectively. He needed just two carries to gain 17 yards against Indianapolis, showing that a couple of successful scrambles could be enough to clear Sunday's relatively low 14.5-yard line.
Seattle's Defense Could Force More Scrambles
The Seahawks have generated pressure on 45.1% of opposing dropbacks, including a 43.5% pressure rate without blitzing. Their secondary has also been one of the league's best at limiting intermediate and deep passes. With fewer easy throws available, Mahomes could be forced to extend plays and pick up yards with his legs.
Mahomes Runs More in Primetime
Mahomes has topped 14.5 rushing yards in six of seven primetime games since the start of last season, including both appearances this year. He's averaged 31.9 rushing yards in those games, and as he gets further removed from last season's knee injury, he could become even more comfortable using his legs.
Recommended Prediction:
Mahomes 15+ Rush Yds
Current Market Price:
52¢
Model Over Probability:
59.1%
Market-Implied Probability:
52.0%

Seattle Has Been Great Against the Run
The Seahawks are allowing just 3.5 yards per carry, fourth-best in the NFL, and rank second in defensive rushing EPA per carry. They've also allowed opposing running backs to average just 76.8 rushing yards per game, which is already below Walker's individual line of 79.5 yards.
The Seahawks Limit Explosive Plays
Walker is averaging 6.3 yards per carry this season, but some of his biggest performances have been fueled by long gains, including runs of 60 yards against Denver and 76 against Las Vegas. Seattle allowed just five runs of 20+ yards all last season and only two through six games this year. Taking away those big plays could make it much harder for Walker to reach 80 yards.
Seattle Knows Walker Better Than Most Teams
Walker leads the NFL with 665 rushing yards and has cleared this line in four of five games, so fading him carries some risk. However, Mike Macdonald and his staff worked with Walker for two seasons and know his tendencies firsthand. That familiarity gives Seattle an interesting advantage in his return to Lumen Field.
Recommended Prediction:
Walker U79.5 Rush Yds
Current Market Price:
53¢
Model Under Probability:
58.9%
Market-Implied Probability:
53.0%
Model Edge:
+5.9%

Seattle's Top Red-Zone Target
Smith-Njigba has drawn 11 red-zone targets through six games, accounting for 47.8% of Seattle's total. He's also received half of the team's targets inside the 10-yard line and scored five red-zone touchdowns, showing just how heavily Seattle relies on him near the goal line.
His Target Volume Is Hard to Ignore
Smith-Njigba leads the NFL with a 34.9% target share and 48.6% first-read target share, averaging 11 targets per game. He's also averaging 119.5 receiving yards per contest, giving him opportunities to score on longer plays rather than relying entirely on red-zone chances.
The TD Production Has Been Consistent
Smith-Njigba leads the NFL with seven receiving touchdowns in six games, finding the end zone in four of them. He was held scoreless against Denver last week despite drawing 16 targets, but his involvement clearly hasn't slowed down. Kansas City hasn't allowed a wide receiver touchdown yet this season, so it's a difficult matchup, but Smith-Njigba's usage makes him worth backing at this price.
Recommended Prediction:
Smith-Njigba Anytime TD
Current Market Price:
45¢
Model TD Probability:
49.9%
Market-Implied Probability:
45.0%
Model Edge:
+4.9%

Despite their undefeated record, the Chiefs enter Sunday Night Football as slight underdogs against the defending Super Bowl champions. Kansas City is priced at 43¢ to Seattle's 58¢ on Polymarket, although our ATS Quantitative Model sees some value in backing the Chiefs.
The spread currently sits at Chiefs +2.5, while the total is set at 42.5 points, with the Over trading at 52¢. That relatively low total suggests both defenses could have the upper hand in what should be a competitive matchup.
