2020 NFL picks, score predictions for Week 2

Washington Football Team (1-0) at Arizona Cardinals (1-0)

Sunday, September 20, 4:05PM ET

Good job Washington Football Team. You pulled off a surprising Week 1 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles, due in large part to the latter’s complete meltdown on offense. Unfortunately, you won’t enjoy the same amount of success in Week 2.

This Arizona Cardinals team cannot be ignored this season. Despite being in arguably the NFL’s toughest division, they’re still a team worth taking seriously. Kyler Murray could break out as a sophomore with the help of one of the league’s most loaded receiving groups. The defense has gotten better, and the run game offers upside with Kenyan Drake and Chase Edmonds.

I don’t feel nearly as confident when it comes to Washington. Sure they’ve got an exceptional defense, and Terry McLaurin is a star in the making. Beyond that, though, there’s little to write home about. I don’t trust Dwayne Haskins as the quarterback who can lead this team to the playoffs, and the running game doesn’t offer much in terms of exciting talent.

We’ll see examples of this on Sunday when the Cardinals put the brakes on the sudden hype surrounding Washington. Murray has another outstanding game as Larry Fitzgerald and Hopkins put a hurting on D.C.’s young cornerbacks.

Prediction: Cardinals win 28-16
