Top Ways To Bet On The Cardinals
Betting activity on Cardinals games is predicted to be high this season and beyond. Each time the team takes the field, legal online sportsbooks will be prepared. NFL odds are released early in the week, providing ample time to place bets before the game starts. When reviewing game listings, odds for the primary pregame bets will be visible.
| Team | Moneyline | Spread | Totals |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seattle Seahawks | +105 | +2.5 (-110) | Over 51.5 (-110) |
| Arizona Cardinals | -125 | -2.5 (-110) | Under 51.5 (-110) |
The NFL dominates online sportsbooks as the premier game. Each type of bet attracts a significant number of bettors. Here are the details you need to understand.
NFL Moneyline Betting
Understanding and placing a moneyline bet is straightforward. You just select the team you believe will win the game and click on the odds to continue. DraftKings AZ provides the following example for clarity.
- Seattle Seahawks +105
- Arizona Cardinals -125
Moneyline favorites are associated with negative odds, while underdogs have positive numbers. A closer range indicates that oddsmakers are expecting a tighter game.
NFL Point Spread Betting
For every NFL game, sportsbooks establish a spread. Essentially, it’s a victory margin that you need to consider in your decision-making process. Here’s an example of a spread bet from BetMGM Arizona.
- Seattle Seahawks +2.5 (-110)
- Arizona Cardinals -2.5 (-110)
You can either choose the favorite, subtracting the points, or the underdog, adding the number. For your bet to win, the side you select must cover the spread.
NFL Totals Betting
This type of wager involves predicting how many points both teams will collectively score. Punters have the opportunity to determine the estimate established by oddsmakers. Here’s an example of a totals bet from Caesars Sportsbook AZ.
- Over 51.5 (-110)
- Under 51.5 (-110)
In our example, someone betting on the Over anticipates a score of 52 points or more. Conversely, those wagering on the Under are hoping for a score of 51 points or less.
In the weekly lead-up to NFL games, the three mentioned bet types – which team will win, who will cover, and where the total will land – become major discussion points. Sportsbooks contribute to the dialogue by supplying the odds for each match.
Arizona player props and futures
Placing a futures bet on Murray or the NFL MVP is not your only option. You have a variety of choices, from bets on the defensive and offensive player of the year to the rookie of the year, and more. Below are some of the most frequently found futures odds at online sportsbooks in Arizona:
- Odds for NFL Most Valuable Player
- Odds for the NFL Comeback Player of the Year
- Odds for Offensive Rookie of the Year
- Odds for Defensive Rookie of the Year
Props related to players are not the same as futures. This is due to the fact that you are betting on a player’s performance and achievements, not the recognitions they gain throughout the season.
You’ll commonly encounter the following player props, although this is just a small sample of what’s available:
- NFL rushing leader
- NFL passing leader
- First overall selection in NFL draft
- Number of interceptions thrown by a specific quarterback
- Number of receiving touchdowns for a specific receiver
You also have the option to bet on team props and futures. Here are some popular ones, along with a few game day props:
- Total wins for the season over/under
- Touchdowns by special teams or defense
- Number of field goals in a game: over/under
- AFC champions
- NFC champions
- Division champions
- The player who scores first in a game
- The team that scores first in a game

How Did The Cardinals Do Last Year?
Both head coach Kliff Kingsbury and star QB Kyler Murray were heading into their second campaign for Arizona in 2020. In the preceding year, the team had a record of 5-10-1 and ended up at the bottom of the NFC West. The aspiration for the upcoming season was to see noticeable improvement.
The Cards looked like they were on track to easily meet their goal with a 5-2 record going into the Week 8 bye. They started the second half of the season appearing to be real playoff contenders. However, it didn’t pan out that way.
The team ended the year with a 3-6 streak, culminating in an overall 8-8 record. Although their finish was less than ideal, they narrowly missed qualifying for an NFC playoff spot due to a tiebreaker. Despite this, the team displayed several promising moments on offense, and there was a noticeable enhancement in their defense.
Arizona Cardinals coaches and bench staff
Football games aren’t won by players alone. The hard work of coaches and support staff on the sidelines also plays a crucial part. The Cardinals have experienced several coaching changes in the past decade, but there are high hopes for the latest coach in Arizona to yield success and have a long tenure.
The coaches for the Arizona Cardinals in 2021 are:
- Head coach: Kliff Kingsbury
- Offensive coordinator: Sean Kugler
- Defensive coordinator: Vance Joseph
- Jeff Rodgers: Special Teams Coordinator
The Cardinals have had the following head coaches since 2000:
| Coach | Tenure |
|---|---|
| Kliff Kingsbury | 2019-present |
| Steve Wilks | 2018 |
| Bruce Arians | 2013-2017 |
| Ken Wisenhunt | 2007-2012 |
| Dennis Green | 2004-2006 |
| Dave McGinnis | 2000-2003 |
| Vince Tobin | 1996-2000 |

If you want to watch the Cardinals on TV, the channel you need to tune into varies depending on who is broadcasting the game. Some games are shown on NBC, others on FOX, and some on CBS. ESPN and the NFL Network also broadcast some of the games.
Some fans opt for NFL Sunday Ticket subscriptions, enabling them to watch every game on the NFL schedule.

A brief history of the Arizona Cardinals
The Arizona Cardinals boast a rich history in professional football, originating from 1898 when a team was formed from the Morgan Athletic Club to play football in Chicago. Here are some significant dates in the franchise’s history:
- The Morgan Athletic Club, founded in 1898, was later acquired by Chris O’Brien and subsequently renamed the Racine Normals.
- In 1901, the University of Chicago’s used game jerseys were maroon in color. This influenced O’Brien to rename his team as the Racine Street Cardinals.
- In 1920, the Cardinals became a founding member of the American Professional Football Association, which was later renamed as the National Football League in 1922.
- In 1922, the team’s name was changed to the Chicago Cardinals.
- The NFL champions of 1925, after the suspension of the Pottsville Maroons.
- In 1947, the NFL champions triumphed over the Philadelphia Eagles.
- In 1960, the Cardinals relocated to St. Louis.
- The St. Louis Cardinals made playoff appearances in 1974, 1975, and 1982.
- In 1987, the organization relocated and was renamed as the Phoenix Cardinals.
- In 1994, the team officially adopted the name Arizona Cardinals.
- 1998 marked the first postseason win since 1947.
- In 2008, the Cardinals were defeated by the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLIII with a score of 27-23.
- 2009 – The first season to have 10 wins since settling in Arizona.
- 2009 NFC West Champions
- In 2014, Arizona had their best regular-season record with 11-5.
- In 2014, they secured a wild card playoff berth.
- 2015 – New franchise record of 13-3 for regular-season wins.
- In 2015, they lost the NFC Championship game to the Carolina Panthers with a score of 49-15.
Will there be a State Farm sportsbook?
The Cardinals could operate a retail sportsbook under a sports betting license at the State Farm Stadium.
Considering the strong lobbying for more sports betting inclusion by leagues and teams, it appears certain that the Cardinals will seek one of the 10 commercial sportsbook licenses available in Arizona.
Arizona law sets aside a specific number of licenses for professional teams like the Cardinals. Following the acquisition of a license, these teams have the option to construct a physical sportsbook at their respective stadiums.
In certain states, teams and stadiums are permitted to provide an NFL betting lounge equipped with televisions and seating. Furthermore, there are on-site staff members available to assist individuals with downloading and initiating a betting app on their mobile devices.
The sportsbook at State Farm Stadium will likely promote online betting as much as, or even more than, the retail sportsbook. Essentially, the sportsbook is as focused on marketing as it is on accepting bets.
Anticipate that the sportsbook will be accessible not only to Cardinals’ game spectators but to a wider audience. It is probable that there will be an external entrance to the sportsbook, enabling it to operate throughout the year, not just during game seasons.
Potential partners for the Cardinals
Even though the Cardinals may technically possess a sports betting license in the future, they will not actually operate the sportsbook.
The team will likely partner with a gambling company to manage that. The Cardinals currently have a gambling partnership with the Gila River Indian Community, but it’s not clear if this will include sports betting.
No Gila River casino properties have previously provided sports betting. However, the tribe qualifies for one of the 10 tribal sportsbook licenses. Therefore, if the property desires, it can independently pursue this opportunity and aim to secure one of those licenses ahead of other competing tribes.
As of April 2021, the NFL is working with its three national sports betting partners, namely, DraftKings, FanDuel, and Caesars, all of whom have already outlined their plans for Arizona. DraftKings has already made an announcement regarding its partnership with TPC Scottsdale. FanDuel Sports Betting, on the other hand, has formed an alliance with the Phoenix Suns, while Caesars has struck a deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Essentially, the Cardinals’ high profile could potentially open the door for an unexpected player, like BetMGM or PointsBet, to enter Arizona through a partnership with State Farm Stadium and the team.
