NFL Betting – Will Cardinals Top 8 Wins?

Author: editor Cat: Football

The win total in sport betting on the Cardinals is posted at eight. The Arizona Cardinals won’t have quarterback Kurt Warner this season as he retired and they will also be lacking other key contributors from last season as Anquan Boldin, Karlos Dansby and Antrel Rolle are with other teams. Bettors making an NFL bet don’t truly know what to expect from the Arizona Cardinals in 2010.

 

NFL betting lines do not like the Redbirds to win the NFC West this season. That honor goes to the San Francisco 49ers. The greatest reason that the Cardinals aren’t liked is the retirement of Warner. Not so many individuals think that Matt Leinart can be a good starting quarterback in the NFL. The Arizona Cardinals still possess some offensive skill headed by wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald. They also have a running back in Beanie Wells who continues to get better. The Cardinals might be more of a running team this year with Wells and Tim Hightower.

 

Arizona didn’t play well at times in sports betting last season on defense nevertheless they were bailed out by their offense on most occasions. That probably won’t transpire in 2010. The defense had their issues last season and it could get worse in 2010 without Dansby and Rolle. The Cardinals are hoping that they have a successor to Dansby in second-round pick Daryl Washington but it is asking a lot for a rookie to take control and be an impact player. The Arizona Cardinals do not have a very good pass rush and that leaves the secondary open. Arizona not only traded away cornerback Bryant McFadden but they also lost Rolle. The Cardinals still have Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Adrian Wilson and they added Kerry Rhodes but in total the secondary isn’t nearly as good as it was a year ago.

 

Gamblers who make an NFL bet must determine whether or not the Cardinals can top eight victories. Arizona performs in the NFC West which means they have some winnable competitions. St. Louis is not quite good, Seattle is nothing special and San Francisco still has Alex Smith at quarterback. The Cardinals should at least split with Seattle and San Francisco while sweeping the Rams. That allows them four victories. They ought to beat Oakland and Tampa Bay at home.

 

They will likely lose games at Atlanta, San Diego, home against New Orleans, at Minnesota and home vs Dallas. If you factor in the splits with San Francisco and Seattle, that would give them seven losses. The important matches that ought to determine their win total are competitions at home versus Denver and road games at Kansas City and Carolina.
