Cardinals Betting Insights

After their first season-opening victory since 2021, the Cardinals look to maintain their momentum. Kyler Murray performed well, connecting on two touchdowns, and with support from Harrison Jr. and McBride, they aim to build on their offense while improving defensive consistency.

Conversely, the Panthers face challenges after their disappointing start, and they must leverage last season’s victory over the Cardinals (36-30 in overtime) for inspiration.

Predictions

With a projected coverage of the spread at 58% for the Cardinals, bettors might lean in their favor, especially given Carolina’s defensive issues in Week 1.
