NFL 2023 Week 1: Washington Commanders vs Arizona Cardinals 1st Quarter

Washington hosts the Cardinals

The 2023 season kicked off with the Detroit Lions beating the defending Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs 21-20 on Thursday night. Now it’s time for the Washington Commanders to start their season with a home game against the Arizona Cardinals. Washington opened as 7 point favorites, and has held steady all week.

The Cardinals are now coached by former Philadelphia Eagles DC Jonathan Gannon and will be starting Josh Dobbs, with Kyler Murray still recovering from a torn ACL. Arizona has been dismantling their team, and look like they’re destined for the #1 overall pick next year.

The Commanders have had one of the best offseasons in team history, and are riding a high from the team’s new ownership group. They come into their home opener as heavy favorites, and have a chance to make a statement with this game.
