Betting on the Arizona Cardinals (+7)
Regular season record: 0-0
It sounds unlikely that Kyler Murray will be starting for the Cardinals in Week 1 of the 2023 NFL season. In any case, Arizona trusts in its backup signal-caller Colt McCoy if he gets chosen to run the show from under center. We say “if” because the Cardinals also still have Joshua Dobbs.
With DeAndre Hopkins also gone, the Cardinals’ offense will have plenty of work for the pair of wide receivers Marquise Brown and Marquise Brown, who had 414 and 709 receiving yards last season, respectively. Running back James Conner is also a sneaky good player who could surprise the Commanders in Week 1. Conner had 782 rushing yards and 300 receiving yards in 2022.
The Cardinals are 5-5 against the spread in their last 10 games away from home in the regular season.
Betting on the Washington Commanders (-7)
Regular season record: 0-0
After going undefeated in three games in the preseason, the Commanders are out to prove they’re legit. Well, they might still be viewed as one even if they beat Arizona, but that perspective also says a lot about why Washington should be able to take care of business at home in Week 1.
Sam Howell is finally getting his shot as a starter in the NFL, and the Cardinals seem to be a favorable test for him in a series opener. Last season, the Cardinals finished second-worst in the NFL with 26.4 points allowed per game and worst overall in opponents’ completion rate at 69.81 percent. Washington’s top wide receiver Terry McLaurin suffered an injury in a preseason game but there’s still a chance he will be healthy by the time the game against the Cardinals comes.
The Commanders are 5-4-1 against the spread in their last 10 games in the regular season.
El Jefe’s Prediction on Arizona Cardinals vs Washington Commanders
Arizona trips up on its own feet with turnovers and misplays, as it lets Washington get away with a win in DC.
Prediction:
The Commanders win, 23-16.
