This week’s matchup shows the Cardinals favored to win at home with a -3 spread, reflecting confidence in their ability to cover against the Commanders. However, the betting trends and recent performances suggest a potentially closer contest. With the total set at 46, the odds indicate expectations of a relatively high-scoring game, aligning with both teams’ recent tendencies to push the total over in most games.
Jayden Daniels QB vs. Kyler Murray QB
In the first three games of the season, Commanders’ quarterback Jayden Daniels has shown remarkable efficiency, throwing at 80.3% completion rate and is yet to be intercepted in 664 yards worth of passes. Daniels’ whirling about to avoid sacks and then throwing the football accurately has come in quite handy for Washington’s offense. With a 111.8 passer rating, his performance is good enough and he is likely to be used to take advantage of the defense of the Cardinals.
On the other hand, while also having a lower completion percentage of 68.6%, Kyler Murray of the Cardinals has also been effective in the air for his team, throwing for 635 yards and 5 touchdowns. Running and throwing on the run is Murray’s forte, which causes defensors to be uncertainty as to what his subsequent move could be. However, he has also proven to be vulnerable to the sack, as he was sacked 6 times this season and will face a Commanders team that requires pressure on the quarterback.
Dynamic Duel: Commanders’ Ground and Air Attack
The Commanders’ offensive scheme has been notably balanced, with Brian Robinson Jr. leading the rushing efforts. Robinson has already tallied 206 yards and two touchdowns on 45 carries, showcasing his ability to break through defensive lines for substantial gains. His performance, coupled with the deep threat posed by receiver Terry McLaurin—who has snagged 139 yards and a touchdown.
Cardinals’ Offensive Playmakers
Arizona counters with a robust running game spearheaded by James Conner, who has amassed 189 yards and two scores on 46 attempts. His powerful running style and knack for clutch first downs give Arizona a steady offensive rhythm. On the receiving end, Marvin Harrison Jr. has emerged as a breakout star, averaging an impressive 19.8 yards per catch and securing three touchdowns.

Washington Commanders vs. Arizona Cardinals Betting Prediction
While considering the betting patterns as well as the faceoff round statistics, this Week 4 fixture is quite an interesting one for the punters. The Cardinals, who are clear favorites at home, have been covering the spread rather well up to this stage of the season, while the Commanders have surpassed in all previous matches. Given the context of the high total in over/under market, it is reasonable to assume that a shootout is very likely with both offenses’ firepower.
As concerning who the favorites are in NFL Week 4 winning picks, one can learn that it is reasonable to back the Cardinals, but there is also good wagering value on the Commanders to make a more sensible bet. The over on total points is not a bad wager as well. It will be an interesting and high-scoring match-up.
Score Prediction: Cardinals 27, Commanders 24.
