Prediction
No one in the NFL these days should be overlooked. That’s when you lose. Despite Washington coming in as underdogs, they likely won’t play that way, at least for all of Sunday afternoon.
They also have coach Ron Rivera, who has been a rallying point for the team with his cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatment. Many pointed to him as the reason why Washington was able to come back and score 27 unanswered points last week.
Cardinals look to fly into win streak. dark. Next
The Cardinals proved though they can beat anyone when they are focused and not making mistakes. As long as the don’t come out slow again, as they did last week, and limit their penalties, they should prevail at home on Sunday.
