4* Free Week 1 NFL Betting Prediction: Arizona +7
On the point-spread, I have the Cardinals covering as road underdogs. At +7, there is good value on the Cardinals.
The Commanders had an excellent preseason and remained undefeated with a 3-0 record. The burning question is: does Sam Howell possess the NFL skills required? Can he meet the high expectations?
On the other side, the Cardinals boast a 7-0 ATS (Against The Spread) record in their last seven games against NFC East opponents.
The Cardinals’ performance will heavily rely on James Conner, and I, for one, maintain faith in his running abilities.
He’s the reason I believe the Cardinals can keep this game close. During the previous season, Conner concluded with over 780 rushing yards and seven touchdowns.
Keep an eye on him, as he may single-handedly assist Zona in covering the +7 spread in this match.
This one also sails over the total. (10/17 games for the CARDS went over in 2022/23)
