The win total in sport betting on the Arizona Cardinals is listed at eight. The Cardinals will be devoid of essential contributors from last year as Anquan Boldin, Karlos Dansby and Antrel Rolle are with other squads, and they also are not going to have quarterback Kurt Warner this year as he retired. Bettors making an NFL bet don’t in fact know what to anticipate from the Arizona Cardinals in 2010.
NFL wagering odds do not favor the Cardinals to win the NFC West this year. The San Francisco 49ers gets that honor. The retirement of Warner is the biggest reason that the Redbirds are not preferred. Only a few individuals think that Matt Leinart can be a successful starting quarterback in the NFL. The Redbirds still have got some offensive skill led by wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald. They also have a running back in Beanie Wells who proceeds to get better. The Cardinals could be more of a running team this season with Wells and Tim Hightower.
Arizona didn’t play well sometimes in sports betting last year on defense however they were bailed out by their offense on most instances. That most likely will not occur in 2010. The defense had their concerns last season and it could get worse in 2010 devoid of Dansby and Rolle. It’s asking a lot for a rookie to take over and be an impact player, but that’s what the Cardinals are hoping – that they’ve got a successor to Dansby in second-round pick Daryl Washington. The Cardinals do not have a great deal of pass rush and that leaves the secondary exposed. Arizona not only lost Rolle but they furthermore traded away cornerback Bryant McFadden. The Cardinals still have Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Adrian Wilson and they added Kerry Rhodes but total the secondary is not nearly as good as it was a year ago.
Whether or not the Cardinals can top eight victories is what the bettors who make an NFL wager must decide. Arizona plays in the NFC West which means they have some winnable competitions. St. Louis isn’t quite good, Seattle is not really special and San Francisco still features Alex Smith at quarterback. The Redbirds ought to sweep the Rams and at least split with Seattle and San Francisco. That allows them four victories. They should beat Oakland and Tampa Bay at home.
They will likely lose matches at Atlanta, San Diego, home vs New Orleans, at Minnesota and home vs Dallas. If you factor in the splits with San Francisco and Seattle, that would give them 7 losses. Matches at home versus Denver and road games at Kansas City and Carolina are the key games that should decide their win total.
