    Team Outlook and Scouting Report

    SEASON FORECASTS AND FUTURES PICKS

    The Cardinals are not contenders to win the Super Bowl at 300/1, 0.3%. They are one of 4 teams with these odds (#25 in the league). They do not have any real chance to win the Super Bowl. They are not a good value to win the NFC either at 150/1, 0.7%. They are projected to win 5 games and live up to their pre-season futures line of 5. Their playoff chances stand at 2.3% (0.3% to win the division). In simulations they finish last in the NFC based on projected wins.

    REGULAR SEASON RECAP AND UPCOMING GAMES

    At 0-1-1 they are obviously short of expectations. Based on the money lines, the Cardinals had an expected win percentage of 28%. If you bet on them to win every game you would be down 200 units. They are 2-0 against the spread for a 200 profit. Their over-under record is 1-1. Oddsmakers had low expectations for them last season (expected win percentage = 30%) and they failed to live up to even these low expectations going 3-13. They went 7-8-1 against the spread (-180 loss). More of their games came in under (9) than went over (7). Based on computer simulations they only have a 48% chance to beat the Panthers in their next game. The table below shows their upcoming games, their simulation based win percentage and their recent head to head record (WL, ATS, OU).

    TEAM OFFENSIVE AND DEFENSIVE STATS WITH LEAGUE RANKINGS
