Editor’s note: NESN.com’s Mike Cole, Ricky Doyle and Andre Khatchaturian deliver their NFL picks every Thursday of the season, and here’s who they like in the Washington Redskins-Arizona Cardinals Week 13 game, with the line from OddsShark.
Washington Redskins at (-2.5) Arizona Cardinals, Sunday, 4:25 p.m.
Mike: Redskins. The Cardinals’ overall defensive numbers look good, but things are starting to fall apart as they’ve allowed 30, 20, 30 and 38 points in their last four games. Don’t expect that to change against a high-powered Washington offense.
Andre: Redskins. I?m in love with Washington?s offensive line. Kirk Cousins has been sacked just 14 times this season and if he gets protection, I can see him making plays. The Redskins also have been putting pressure on quarterbacks all season long with 28 sacks (7th), and Arizona?s line is very shaky as their quarterbacks have been sacked 33 times this season (third-most).
Ricky: Cardinals. It’s been a disappointing season in the desert, and the Redskins’ offense can put up points. But I can’t stop imagining David Johnson going off against a terrible Washington run defense that ranks 31st in the NFL with 4.7 yards allowed per carry.
