A quarterback controversy continues to grow for the Arizona Cardinals as they host the Washington Redskins in the final preseason game for both teams. Kick-off is set for 10:05pm EST for the game can be seen on the NFL Network. Online sportsbooks opened with a line of Arizona -5.5 in NFL preseason week 4 odds vs the Redskins with an over/under betting total of 37. The Washington Redskins have an exhibition mark of 2-1 both straight up and against the spread in preseason week 4 NFL betting predictions and have gone under the total in 2 consecutive games. The Redskins are coming off a 16-11 win at the New York Jets last week but quarterback Donovan McNabb was injured and will miss this game.

In fact, number 2 QB Rex Grossman is not projected to play at Arizona either leaving backups John Beck and Richard Bartel to face the Cardinals. The Arizona Cardinals have a preseason record of 2-1 both straight up and against the spread in NFL odds with their last 2 games having gone under the total. Arizona is coming off a 14-9 win at Chicago as 3.5-point underdogs. The Cards have gone 5-10 against the spread in preseason since 2008. The big story in Arizona is that projected starting quarterback Matt Leinart is facing a serious challenge from Derek Anderson, who arrived from Cleveland in the offseason.

While Lineart’s numbers look very good he has not impressed head coach Ken Whisenhunt with his leadership, as the coach sees a lack of offensive spark with Leinart in command. Both played well at Chicago and the final announcement of a starter is up in the air. “Matt continues to be efficient with the football,” said Whisenhunt. “But once again it’s not as much about stats as it is about chemistry with the team, how you handle everything that’s thrown at you.” Leinart has voiced displeasure with the demotion and said he still expects to start on opening day.
