Commanders Cardinals odds picks prediction spread over/under betting line

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Alex White of SportsbookWire.com has pinpointed her top Week 4 bet.

It involves the Washington Commanders (2-1) at the Arizona Cardinals (1-2). Kickoff from State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., is set for 4:05 p.m. ET (FOX).

The Commanders — behind rookie QB Jayden Daniels — are coming off a surprising 38-33 upset victory as 7.5-point underdogs at the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football. It was Washington’s 2nd win and 2nd cover in a row.

The Cardinals lost at home 20-13 to the Detroit Lions last Sunday. Arizona was a 3-point underdog, marking the first time this season that the Cardinals failed to cover the spread. They are 2-1 ATS with an O/U mark of 2-1 — which happens to be the same ATS and O/U records as the Commanders.

For this Week 4 matchup, the Cardinals are favored by 3.5 points (-105), per BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds as of Sunday morning at 7:23 a.m. ET.

Listen below to why Alex is on this play.

Commanders at Cardinals picks and predictions

Prediction

Cardinals 34, Commanders 30

Moneyline

The Commanders are humming offensively, as they have neither punted nor turned the ball over in their last 2 games, scoring on 13 drives and running out the clock on 3 others.

But they have been bad defensively. They are 31st in passing yards allowed per play (7.7) and 30th in rushing yards allowed per play (5.1). The Cardinals showed against the LA Rams in Week 2 what they can do when they can move the ball.

Washington won’t be able to stop the Cardinals, so they will have to keep up, and Arizona will get a stop or 2. Arizona held Detroit scoreless in the 2nd half of last week’s loss.

But the moneyline at -185 for the Cardinals isn’t a good bet, so go with the spread.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Cardinals are 2-1 ATS this season. Considering Washington’s defense, this could be a 1-score game if Washington can continue to protect the football (they have no turnovers in 3 games), but that is nearly impossible to do with a rookie QB for 4 consecutive games, so this is very possible an Arizona blowout.

BET CARDINALS -3.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The Cardinals have scored 28 or more twice and the Over has hit in 2 of the Cardinals’ games.

The Commanders have allowed at least 3 TDs in every game this season and over 30 points in 2 of 3 games.

BET OVER 49 (-110).
