Stephen Nover's NFL Situational Game of the Month
(NFL) Commanders (WAS) vs. Cardinals (ARI),
Point Spread: -3.50 | 100.00 Cardinals (ARI) (Home)
Result: Loss
The Cardinals are a team on the rise in Jonathan Gannon's second season. They are dangerous with a healthy Kyler Murray.

It's a great spot for the Cardinals here. Arizona is off a disappointing loss to the Lions and catching the Commanders traveling on a short week following a tremendous road upset of the Bengals.

Jayden Daniels is a star in the making. Right now, though, he's not as good as Murray. Murray also has more dangerous weapons with Marvin Harrison Jr. and James Conner.

Arizona's defense is showing improvement. The Commanders have much farther to go. Washington ranks 30th in scoring defense giving up 29.3 points a game. The Commanders are 31st in pass defense and 29th in total defense.
