We have a great chance, we were 1-8 at home last year. We're on the road. GO CARDS!

 

[Garthshort]

When you consider what a big game this is for Washington, who has a VG defense, and all the excitement stemming from ownership change, a spread of about seven points seems low. I notice that all the above 'experts' pick the home team, giving the points.

If the Cards don’t manage some passing pressure this could get ugly fast. This CB group is incredibly weak. I hope they’ve just been holding back!

 

[Crimson Warrior]

And what's our offense going to look like too? Unproven WR corp and shaky starting QB?

Luckily were not going against a great QB so there's a glimmer of hope, but yeah, I'm bracing myself for a blowout loss.

 

[PJ1]

Washington goes into panic mode if they lose this one. I mean if they can’t beat the Cardinals at home? They are well coached and will be ready.

Washington has all the pressure.. from Rivera to the players...not to mention some players already displeased with Bienemy, and that had to be addressed. As long as Cards stay in the game, the pressure will continue to build and they will have a chance.

 

[DVontel]

They are well coached

They aren’t.

 

[PJ1]

They aren’t.

I like what Rivera has been able to do in the midst of all the chaos. They were not a pushover last year.

I think Rivera is a good dude, but he's basically Whisenhunt.

I'd take the Cards vs 7. Sam Howell is not a good QB and their O line kinda sucks.

Do they have a VG defense?

The front 4 is good, but after that it's kinda meh.

 

[oaken1]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say if we are able to score more points than them then we will win

you offensive guys and your "score more points"...everyone knows the key to victory is making sure they dont outscore us.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Agreed. I think the game plan for this game and the entire season rests more on the defense and the schemes Rallis can dial up. They may be outmatched with talent, but good schemes and fundamentals can close the gap.

Brit, I'll admit I based my opinion on their 1st round DL draft picks. I'm hoping you're correct.

They are very good.

Ron, then why is the spread only around seven points? It's not like we have KM at QB.
