Bold predictions for Arizona Cardinals vs. Washington Commanders

Bold predictions for Arizona Cardinals vs. Washington Commanders

Vaseline 1 month ago

The Arizona Cardinals will host new sensation Jayden Daniels and the Commanders in a few hours. Arizona is aiming for 2-2, while the Commanders are looking to improve to 3-1.

It will be a battle of high-flying offense, with Kyler Murray and Daniels both possessing dual-threat skills – and a number of stud players to get the ball to.

In a match that we expect to be high scoring, it should come as no surprise that the following bold predictions will favor the attack.

Of course, that doesn’t bode well for the defense.

Defense wins championships – too bad neither team has a defense this season. Instead, the cardinals and commanders will rely on their offenses to outplay their opponents. Fortunately, they both have extremely talented quarterbacks and can not only push the ball down the field but also find success on the ground as runners.

Murray has rediscovered his mobility this season, rushing for 161 yards and a whopping 10.7 yards per carry. Daniels came into the league from day one as one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks, and he has quickly proven himself with 171 rushing yards and three scores on the ground.

We’ve seen Murray air the ball a lot this season and Daniels has an excellent passing performance against the Bengals. If that game is a sign of things to come, we could see JD5 bringing video game numbers to market.

Against a weak defense, Murray and Daniels will likely go crazy. Both QBs will total over 300 yards between passing and rushing. I could also see them scoring three touchdowns each, but I won’t get into that for now.

These two defenses are ill-prepared to take on superstar receivers MHJ and F1, who have broken out over the past two weeks after a slow start to the year. I expect a fireworks show from both guys.

Harrison will have little competition for targets with Trey McBride sidelined with a concussion, while McLaurin has emerged as Jayden Daniels’ favorite target. The two receivers will likely have big days and are must-starts in fantasy football.

Following the QBs’ big days, these number one receivers will also have field days. Both receivers top 120 receiving yards. Also, don’t be surprised if they both find the end zone.

Somehow the Cardinals have racked up nine sacks this season despite not having a true Ace Pass Rusher. It’s a testament to the coaching’s ability to create a pass rush, but we also give the players credit for executing it.

Against the Commanders, the Cards will have to like their chances of getting after Daniels, who has already been sacked nine times this season behind one of the league’s worst offensive lines.

Don’t be surprised if Arizona turns up the heat and gets Daniels on the turf several times…don’t be surprised if Daniels improvises and creates yards on broken plays.

The Cards will sack JD5 four times, but the rookie QB will find the end zone with his legs twice. I could also see him running over 50 yards in the game.
