Cardinals Not Favored to Win Single Game in 2023

Within the team facility, there's hope that 2023 won't be a lost season for the Arizona Cardinals. After an offseason that's featured change from top to bottom, the organization looks to play the role of spoiler in most of their games this year.

In the world of betting and sportsbooks, that's every single one. On DraftKings, the Cardinals are the only NFL team to not be favored in any of their regular season matchups.

Only one team is not favored in a single game this season @DKSportsbook...

Last year, the Cardinals were 8-9 against the spread. Their projected over/under of 4.5 wins is the lowest in the league and is two full wins below the second to last team.

Arizona players and coaches have consistently spoke about the culture "shock" that has taken place under new coach Jonathan Gannon, and perhaps the team's comeback win against the Denver Broncos last week gave a peek into that mantra.

"I think anytime you go on the grass and get a win it's huge. So that's the kind of point I'm trying to make, just developing that mentality of it doesn't matter the situation - when we go on the grass, our mentality is to make sure we win," said tackle D.J. Humphries.

Fans in the desert (and potential bettors) hope that carries over to the regular season.
