Offshore and Las Vegas based books appear to be unimpressed by the Arizona Cardinals strong finish to the 2011 season as their latest 2013 Super Bowl XLVII Odds have team listed at 50-1 to win the Lombardi Trophy. Arizona fans should not feel optimistic about conference or division titles either with the team drawing +2500 odds to win the NFC Championship and +450 odds to secure first place in what figures to be an improved NFC West.
The Cardinals have been a bit of a rudderless ship ever since the retirement of quarterback Kurt Warner, could this be the year they finally get back on track? The team’s 7-2 close to the 2011 season would suggest a winning record is a possibility; however, a difficult schedule could lead to another step in the wrong direction. At least that is how odds maker BetOnline.com views the situation. The offshore book has the Arizona Cardinals Under 6.5 wins favored at -130 odds while the Over 6.5 wins is drawing +100 (risk $100 to win $100).
Cantor Gaming’s 2012 NFL regular season point spreads also paint a grim portrait for Ken Whisenhunt’s squad. The Vegas based odds maker has the Cardinals, who are listed as a double digit at New England and at Green Bay, favored in just four of 15 games (Week #17 was not included).
