Total of the Week - Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NFL Rotation #281 Sunday 10* Top Play OVER the total in Arizona Cardinals vs Washington @ 4:05 ET - These were two of the worst defensive units in the NFL last season. These two teams are both off upset wins in Week 1. Historically I have done well taking overs when a team is off an upset win. This is particularly true when that upset win was in a divisional game. That is the case for both teams here. What happens here is that, even if it is on a subconscious level, teams tend to lose a little bit of their defensive intensity when off an upset win of a division rival. Keep in mind this week now features a non-divisional match-up. At the same time, coming off a win, the offensive units feel like they can "get it done" and "whatever it takes" to win. They have that confidence of having won the week before and the Cardinals certainly have plenty of playmakers on offense and an offensive-minded head coach. However, this is a team whose defense has been sorely lacking and now they face a Washington offense that has some confidence after rallying from a 17-0 deficit to win 27-17 last week versus the Eagles. The result will be plenty of points in this one and I also like the fact that no many are paying attention to this total. This O/U has stayed in the same spot since it opened and I like games that off the radar a bit as we tend to get even more value in spots like that. Lets take advantage again here using a system that has worked very well for me through the years in the NFL. 10* OVER the total in Arizona
