The primary system has been completely overhauled to benefit Murkowski. It's a jungle primary with a ranked voting system. This was specifically adopted because Murkowski cannot win a closed primary. She is going to win again because the idiots up there approved a ballot measure allowing this ludicrous election scheme.
Walk me through it in any scenario where Murkowski wins.
She will not come close to beating her challenger.

People that vote for neither murkowski or challenger vote for Murkowski as their 2nd choice by a large margin. Similarly, people who voted for Democrat challenger, all have Murkowski as second choice.
ETA: republican party will have to work hard in Alaska to get third party/independent candidates to NOT have Murkowski as second choice

She doesn't have to beat her challenger in 1st place votes. Because the top 4 candidates advance to the election, nobody will get 50% of the first place votes. The lion's share of Dem votes will place Murkowski as their second choice. I would also imagine the Alaska Republicans would select her as their second choice to avoid a Democrat having the seat. So even though she may finish third in the number of first place votes, she'll likely win the election by having a larger number of second place votes than either the Republican challenger or the Democrat.

Look at the 2010 senatorial election in Alaska as the model. That’s her plan if defeated in the primary.
