The Arizona Cardinals will be aiming to record consecutive SU wins for the first time this season when they battle the Washington Redskins on Sunday in a Week 15 matchup at FedExField. The 6-7 Cardinals eked out a narrow 12-7 win over Tennessee as 2.5-point home underdogs last week, while the Redskins return home after consecutive SU road losses to Dallas and the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Cardinals have now won and covered in two of their last three outings, but have struggled on the road, going 2-4 SU and 1-5 ATS this season. Arizona has also failed to build momentum off of recent victories, going a dismal 2-10-1 SU in 13 contests immediately following an outright win, and is also a meager 1-9 SU and 0-10 ATS in its past 10 early afternoon games.
The Redskins averaged just 13.5 points per game during their recent two-game road swing, including last week’s 30-13 loss to the Chargers as 6.5-point road chalk, and now look to avoid their first three-game SU slide since 2014. Washington has also produced mixed results when favored at home by 4 or more points, going 5-3 SU in its past eight, but covering just three times in its past 16.
Washington has dominated the Cardinals on home turf, winning SU in seven straight since 1998, but has failed to cover in two of their past three home dates, including a narrow 22-21 win as 4.5-point chalk in Arizona’s last visit six years ago.
