The win total in sport betting on the Arizona Cardinals is showed at eight. The Cardinals will not have quarterback Kurt Warner this season as he retired and they will also be without other important contributors from last season as Anquan Boldin, Karlos Dansby and Antrel Rolle are with other squads. Gamblers making an NFL wager do not truly know what to expect from the Arizona Cardinals in 2010.
NFL gambling odds do not like the Redbirds to win the NFC West this year. That honor goes to the San Francisco 49ers. The greatest reason that the Cardinals are not preferred is the retirement of Warner. Not so many individuals think that Matt Leinart can be a successful starting quarterback in the NFL. The Cardinals still have some offensive skill led 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 season with Wells and Tim Hightower.
Arizona were bailed out by their offense on most occasions despite the fact that they didn’t play well at times last season in sports betting on defense. That likely won’t happen in 2010. The defense had their issues last season and it could get worse in 2010 devoid of Dansby and Rolle. It is asking a lot for a rookie to take control and be an impact player, but that’s what the Redbirds are hoping – that they have a successor to Dansby in second-round pick Daryl Washington. The Redbirds don’t have a very good pass rush and that renders the secondary open. Arizona not only lost Rolle but they furthermore traded away cornerback Bryant McFadden. The Cardinals added Kerry Rhodes and they still have Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Adrian Wilson but total the secondary is not of the same quality as it was a year ago.
Bettors who make an NFL bet must decide whether or not the Cardinals can top eight wins. Arizona plays in the NFC West which means they have some winnable games. St. Louis is not very good, Seattle is nothing special and San Francisco still has Alex Smith at quarterback. The Cardinals ought to at least split with Seattle and San Francisco while sweeping the Rams. That provides them four wins. They ought to defeat Oakland and Tampa Bay at home.
They will likely lose competitions at Atlanta, San Diego, home versus New Orleans, at Minnesota and home vs Dallas. That would give them seven losses if you factor in the splits with San Francisco and Seattle. Matches at home vs Denver and road games at Kansas City and Carolina are the key games that should determine their win total.
