Super Bowl odds have the Arizona Cardinals as an NFL betting longshot right now, and they’re a seven-point underdog for their trip to New Orleans this weekend. But as history shows, the Cardinals can pull off the upset.
The Cardinals were underdogs in all three games they played in the playoffs last season, and only lost in the Super Bowl because of an insane catch by Pittsburgh’s Santonio Holmes late in the game. This year, the Cardinals were a ridiculous 6-0 as an ATS underdog, and they were an underdog no one believed in against Green Bay. Sure, the Cardinals gave up a load of points against the Packers, but they scored enough to win in a 51-45 overtime classic, and the defense, like last year, made big plays when they had to. They still have Kurt Warner, a proven winner in the playoffs who is likely going to retire at season’s end, and the Cardinals would love to send their leader out on a high note. Receiver Anquan Boldin could be ready for the Saints, giving Arizona another weapon, and the running game improved over the season. If you’re looking to take a chance with your US sportsbook odds (US sportsbook reviews), you couldn’t pick a better team than Arizona.
