#280 ASA PLAY ON Arizona Cardinals -3.5 over Washington Commanders, Sunday at 4 PM ET - This is a solid situational spot for the Cards at home. They lost last weekend here vs Detroit and played very poorly on offense. The Lions were a bit desperate as well coming off a home loss vs TB. The prior week, Arizona destroyed the LA Rams at home 41-10 outgaining LA 7.9 YPP to just 4.7 YPP. That’s the same Rams team that, while banged up, turned around and beat the 49ers last Sunday. This will be Arizona’s 3rd straight home game prior to playing 3 of their next 4 on the road so an important game for them here. Washington is making the long trip west on a short week after upsetting Cincinnati on Monday night 38-33. The Commanders were outgained in the win 7.3 to 6.2 YPP and on the ground 6.2 YPC to 3.4 YPC. Arizona’s offense should get back on track here facing a Washington defense that ranks 31st in YPP allowed, 30th in YPC allowed, 30th in PPG allowed, and dead last in 3rd down conversion rate allowed. This is Washington’s 3rd road game in the first 4 weeks and we look for this young team to struggle after a win and now on a short week. The Cards have already faced 2 high level opponents (Buffalo & Detroit) yet their YPP margin is a solid +0.5. Washington, on the other hand, has been outgained on the year with a YPP margin of -0.7 which is 8th worst in the NFL despite their 2-1 record. This is a huge home game for Arizona and we’ll call for them to win this one by more than a FG.
