So, what will happen on Sunday?  It is anyone’s guess.  The standings say the Redskins win this one.  Las Vegas has the Cardinals as home favorites.

Best guess?  It will be another close game.  It will come down to who makes the fewer mistakes. Some teams can get away with making a number of mistakes and still winning.  That was last year’s Cardinals.  They got away with most of the mistakes they made.  Not this year.

Look for a possible shootout.  Both offenses can move the ball.  The big question is who can put the ball in the end zone?  The Cardinals need to come out like they did last week in Atlanta.  This time however maintaining that offensive flow for more than one drive would be prudent.

Look for the Cardinals to still find some struggles on the defensive side of the ball.  They will come home and finally find another win however.  Cardinals 38 Redskins 31
