Arizona Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals' new front office and coaching staff have made interesting decisions this season, including releasing three-time All-Pro WR DeAndre Hopkins. Their starting QB Kyler Murray is injured, leaving either Joshua Dobbs (via trade) or Clayton Tune as the Week 1 starter, without a pass catcher to bail them out. Arizona has stockpiled draft picks, including trading former first-rounder Isaiah Simmons (LB). Their defense, which allowed the second most points per game in 2022, has five new rookies who may help rebuild the unit. With an interior offensive line still shaky, a rookie right tackle and potentially less mobile QB under center, those rookies may be the only ones to help the Cardinals rebound in 2023 - as their ranking of 29 and 0-0 record indicates.

Washington Commanders Analysis

The Washington Commanders, under new owner and signal-caller Sam Howell, will be looking to improve on their .500 finish last season. They plan to do so with a run-heavy scheme and by connecting with their talented WR group. Although they fared poorly in interceptions, the team has signal-called the addition of two defensive backs in the draft to join their existing seventh-ranked defense. #24 offense (scored 18.88 PPG) #8 defense (allowing 20.18 PPG) 0-0 (0-0 ATS) overall Power ranking of 16 2-1 (2-1 ATS) in last 3 matchups against Washington

Washington in Prime Position to Take Home Easy Week 1 Victory Against Arizona

Washington is in a favorable position as they host Arizona. Arizona will start either a rookie or an experienced backup QB who is not as talented as the Washington defense, which improved in the off-season compared to last year's good scoring defense. Washington should have the edge on offense against an Arizona defense that was 31st last season in points allowed. While that defense may have weakened in the off-season, the Commanders have something to prove. Washington is expected to come away with an easy Week 1 victory.

Prediction on the total: OVER 38
