Smith-Njigba's three TDs from Drew Lock bury Cardinals +4.5 in a 31-7 rout

I sold Drew Lock as a 10-18 career starter and Seattle as short in the secondary without Nick Emmanwori. Emmanwori was active, and Lock was the best quarterback on the field: 19 of 26 for 235 yards, three touchdowns and no picks, all three scores to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who caught nine for 155 including an 82-yarder. It was 7-7 at the half, then Seattle scored 24 straight while Jacoby Brissett threw for 95 yards and gave up a Julian Love interception. Lost by 24 with 4.5 in hand. Missed by 19.5, and I earned it.

The line has fallen from Seahawks -10 to -4.5, yet Seattle is still drawing 67% of bets and 71% of money with Drew Lock starting, a quarterback who is 10-18 in his career starts. Seattle is also still waiting on nickel/safety Nick Emmanwori, whose absence showed against New England's short passing game. Arizona won outright last week as a 9.5-point dog, and in a 41 total the underdog gets enough possessions to stay close. I'll ride them again.
