Betting on the Arizona Cardinals

For those interested in betting on the NFL and the Arizona Cardinals, here are some of the most popular betting markets.

Moneyline

If you think the Arizona Cardinals are going to win a scheduled NFL game then consider placing a moneyline bet on them. If they win then so do you, however, if they lose the bet is lost. For example, when the Cardinals played the Dallas Cowboys in week 17 of the 2021 season. If you had placed a bet on the Cardinals, you would have won because they won the game 25 – 22. The moneyline odds on the Cardinals to win were 3.25.

Spread (Handicap Betting)

Spread bets are used to lengthen the odds on the favourite team and make betting on them a more attractive proposition. The market provides a point spread that is then applied to the final score. The favourite will have a negative point spread and the underdog will have a positive point spread.

Using the Cardinals versus Cowboys game as the example once again, the Cardinals were given a spread of +5.5, whereas the Dolphins had a point spread of -5.5. As a reminder, the final sore was 25 – 22. If you had bet on the Dolphins, the bet will have been lost because they would have had to win the game by 6 or more points. Betting on the Cardinals was a winner because their point spread meant they had to win the game, or not lose by more than 5 points.

Total Points

Another simple form of bet is an over/under on a points betting line. The Cardinals played the Cleveland Browns in week 6 of the 2021 season at the total points market was set at 48.5. The game ended 37 – 14 to the Cardinals meaning a total point tally of 51. Betting over will have won the bet.

Prop Wagers

Proposition bets can be placed both pre-game and live. There are loads to choose from, some relating to the team, some to players, and some to the game as a whole. Popular prop bets include:

• Over/under on the total number of completions Kyler Murray will make
• Bet if the Cardinals will be leading the game at half-time
• Bet on which player will score a touchdown during the game
• Bet on the margin of victory a team will win
• Over/under the total number of touchdowns both teams will score
