Broncos vs. Cardinals Betting Pick: Back the Under

Broncos-Cardinals Matchup Points Toward the Under

The Broncos remain difficult to evaluate. Their defense is appealing, but the question is whether they can score enough on the road to cover 4.5 points against the Cardinals. The total sits around 43 to 43.5.

The spread suggests oddsmakers viewed Arizona’s performance against the Rams as fraudulent. Denver looks much better than Arizona on paper, while the Cardinals appear to be moving toward next year. They have sat Love again and traded Harrison, making Arizona difficult to back in this matchup.

Denver still needs to wake up offensively, and that has not happened yet. The defense could control the game, but the offense remains a concern.

The best approach is the full-game under or the Cardinals’ team total under. Arizona may be able to kick field goals, but that is unlikely to be enough in this spot.
