Washington wants to continue their streak and Arizona wants to get back in the winning column. This game should be fun to watch with two of the most electric quarterbacks in the NFL. Let's jump straight into the game and cook up a winning slip!
Washington Commanders vs. Arizona Cardinals Match Details
Fixture: Washington Commanders @ Arizona Cardinals
Date and Time: September 29th, 2024 @ 4:05 PM EST
Location: State Farm Stadium, Glendale, Arizona
Key Stats
Washington Commanders
The Washington Commanders are coming off a big-time win on Monday Night Football against the Cincinnati Bengals. Jayden Daniels set a rookie completion percentage record in a game, completing 21-23 passes (91.3%). Excluding kneel-downs, the Commanders have played perfect offensive football, scoring points in 13 straight drives over their two-game winning streak.
Terry McLaurin is coming off his best game of the season, catching four passes for 100 yards and the dagger 27-yard touchdown with 2:15 left in the game against the Bengals.
The Commanders' defense has been one of the worst in the NFL. They rank 29th in points allowed per game (29.3), 31st in opponent passing yards per game (255.7), 29th in offensive touchdowns allowed (11), and 28th in sacks (4). Although Washington's defense has been bailed out by their offense, this unit must be better in this game.
They are going against a Cardinals team with talent on the outside in their receiver room and have one of the most electric quarterbacks in the NFL, Kyler Murray.
Arizona Cardinals
The Arizona Cardinals are looking to bounce back after losing to the Detroit Lions this past weekend. Kyler Murray is coming off a subpar game, only completing 21 of 34 passes for 207 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. James Conner needs to continue his growth as he showed last season.
Against the Lions, he only had nine carries for 17 rushing yards. This offense is still in the top ten in points per game (4th), rushing yards per game (9th), offensive touchdowns (4th), and yards per play (8th). If the Cardinals can have success through the air, it will put them in a good position to beat the Washington Commanders.
The Cardinals' defense has been middle of the pack this season. They rank 18th in points allowed per game (21.3), 16th in passing yards allowed per game (200), 19th in rushing yards allowed per game (123.3), 20th in offensive touchdowns allowed (8), and 11th in sacks (9). Arizona is coming off holding a Detroit Lions offense to 20 points which is impressive considering their offensive firepower.
Prediction
I am predicting the Arizona Cardinals to win and cover the 3.5-point spread in this game against the Washington Commanders. Arizona is primed to bounce back against a bottom-tier defense. I expect Marvin Harrison and Kyler Murray to have an explosive game. We saw the numbers Joe Burrow and JaMarr Chase put up against the Commanders. Both of these quarterbacks are electric but I don't think Jayden Daniels will continue to lead the NFL in completion percentage.
Final Pick
Arizona Cardinals -3.5 (-105)
