Arizona Cardinals Super Bowl Odds

It’s no secret that the Arizona Cardinals are one of the longest shots to win the Super Bowl in the coming season. At +10000, only the Cincinnati Bengals, Miami Dolphins and Washington Redskins have longer odds. While the Cardinals aren’t a great bet to win it all next season, let’s take a closer look at the team and see what futures might actually offer some value.

Arizona Cardinals +10000

Offseason Changes

In: Kyler Murray, J.R. Sweezy, Jordan Hicks, Terrell Suggs, Tramaine Brock, Brooks Reed, Robert Alford, Kliff Kingsbury
Out: Josh Rosen, Mike Iupati, J.J. Nelson, Antoine Bethea, Steve WilksThe Cardinals were the worst team in football season, so it’s not surprise that they made massive changes. It started with the firing of head coach Steve Wilks and bringing in former Texas Tech head coach, Kliff Kingsbury. It’s a risky move as Kingsbury was fired from Texas Tech. However, he is known as a quarterback guru (Patrick Mahomes, Baker Mayfield) and he’s coordinated some good passing games in the past.

Kingsbury’s main offseason decision was to dump Josh Rosen and draft his guy Kyler Murray. The two are now married together and will either succeed or fail together.

The most important news for Murray (and the Cardinals) is the team has rebuilt this offense around him. Offensive linemen like Sweezy and Marcus Gilbert have joined the fray, and the unit is healthy now. They were decimated by injuries last season. On top of that, the team spent three draft picks (Andy Isabella, Hakeem Butler and KeeSean Johnson) on wide receivers in the draft. With the signings of Clay and former first-round pick Kevin White, this offense could look completely different, and that’s what the Cardinals are pinning their hopes on.

Regular Season Win Total: 5.5 Games

The Cardinals will go over 5.5 wins if…

Kingsbury is the offensive genius the Cardinals believe him to be and Murray adapts to the NFL quickly. There are lots of weapons for him to work with. While the defense will struggle, the Cardinals could win shootouts.

The Cardinals will go under 5.5 wins if…

There’s a big learning curve. Remember, it’s Murray’s AND Kingsbury’s first year in the NFL, which means they’ll need time to adjust. The receivers are young and there aren’t many proven players beyond Larry Fitzgerald. We know the defense won’t be great – especially with Patrick Peterson suspended the first six games – but if the offense struggles, this team will again be among the worst in the NFL.

Best Arizona Cardinals Futures Bets

Will The Arizona Cardinals Make The Playoffs?
Pick: ‘No’ at -1000

We’re laying a lot of juice here but I can’t see this happening. With the Seattle Seahawks and the Los Angeles Rams in the same division, I don’t see a path to the playoffs for the Cardinals in even the rosiest of scenarios.

Who Will Win Offensive Rookie Of The Year?
Pick: Kyler Murray +160

Murray is the favorite to win this prop but he makes the most sense. The Cardinals are likely to be playing in many shootouts. He’s expected to be in a pass-happy offense and he’s going to be slinging it around the field. I expect him to pile up the yards – both on the ground and in the air – and have the best resume for Rookie of the Year. He’ll have a handful of interceptions and mistakes, but he has the opportunity and is in the right setting to put up big numbers. That should outshine guys like Josh Jacobs and David Montgomery.

NFC West Final Position In The Standings
Pick: 3rd at +300

As mentioned, I can’t see the Cardinals finishing ahead of the Rams or Seahawks, but they could challenge the San Francisco 49ers. It’s not as if they’re a proven commodity just yet. And with injuries and the regular random things that happen in the NFL, the Cards could be good enough to finish third in the division.
