What are the odds for the Cardinals to win a certain number of games this season?
The Arizona Cardinals are basically at their season’s midpoint. They are 2-5 and on their bye week in Week 8.
Playoff hopes are basically a dream at this point, as they likely need to go 8-2 over their final 10 games to make the playoffs, something that seems virtually impossible considering their five-game losing streak.
But even with recentered expectations, there is the opportunity to make some money on their season.
FanDuel Sportsbook has projected win totals for every team, but there are different odds for different totals. What are the Cardinals’ win totals and odds?

There are different ways to go here. You can go all in for a disaster season. For that, you can go with Under 4.5 wins (+250) for great value.
If you believe the late-game problems get turned around and their talent shows, go with Over 6.5 wins (+165)
For the perfect balance of value and likelihood, go with the sweet spot of Over 5.5 wins (-130) or Under 5.5 wins (+110), where getting five or six wins seems (three or four more over the final 10) like the most reasonable outcome.
