Arizona (+3) vs. Chicago (-3)
O/U (44½)
Sunday, November 8 1:00 PM ET
The Arizona Cardinals (4-3 SU, 4-3 ATS, 2-5 O/U) had their three-game winning streak snapped in Week 9, getting upset by the mediocre Carolina Panthers 34-21 while failing to cover the NFL point spread as a 10-point home favorite while the game’s 55 combined points played Over the 44-point O/U total.
Pittsburgh is favored in most betting circles to win Super Bowl 43 by seven points. Looking over the past 18 NFL championships, teams that were favored by a touchdown and an extra point were dead even: 3-3-1.
During that same time period, favorites were 7-9-2 against the spread.
No this isn’t a preemptive article for Monday. This is a free-picks article for your degenerate face! The Eagles visit the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday to decide who is going to be the NFC Champion. The Eagles are road favorites heading in to this one, and I can completely understand why. They have a blitz-happy defense that boasts one of the best secondaries in the league.
The high-scoring Arizona Cardinals (10-7 SU, 10-7 ATS, 12-5 O/U) advanced to their NFL divisional showdown this Saturday by beating the entertaining Atlanta Falcons 30-24 in last week’s NFC wildcard matchup. Their prize is a date with the stingy Carolina Panthers (12-4 SU, 9-6-1 ATS, 8-8 O/U) a team they lost to 27-23 in Week 8 back on Oct. 26.
The Atlanta Falcons (11-5 SU, 9-7 ATS, 7-9 O/U) are arguably the biggest surprise story of the 2008 NFL season. Led by gifted rookie quarterback Matt Ryan, running back Michael Turner and first-year head coach Mike Smith, the high-flying Falcons make their surprise appearance in the playoffs riding a three-game winning streak in the BetUS Sportsbook. The Arizona Cardinals (9-7 SU, 9-7 ATS, 11-5 O/U) are making their first playoff appearance in a decade and have one of the league’s most explosive offenses.
Despite winning the weak NFC West and securing their first playoff berth in over a decade, the Arizona Cardinals (8-6 SU, 8-6 ATS, 9-5 O/U) clearly aren’t playing winning football at the moment. The Cardinals have dropped three of their last four games and are coming off a dismal 35-14 rout at the hands of the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
The Arizona Cardinals (7-4 SU, 7-4 ATS, 7-4 O/U) had their four-game winning streak snapped with Sunday’s 37-29 home loss to the New York Giants. The Philadelphia Eagles (5-5-1 SU, 6-5 ATS, 5-6 O/U) looked absolutely pathetic in losing to the Baltimore Ravens 36-7 as a 1-point road favorite.
The New York Giants are red-hot, having won five straight games in the BetUS Sportsbook!
The Arizona Cardinals are equally sweltering, having won three consecutive games of their own.
Now, someone’s winning streak is going to come to an emphatic end when the teams meet in this matchup at University of Phoenix Stadium.
The San Francisco 49ers (2-6 SU, 2-6 ATS, 4-3-1 O/U) and Arizona Cardinals (5-3 SU, 6-2 ATS, 5-3 O/U) are headed in opposite directions as they take the field for this Monday night matchup at University of Phoenix Stadium.
While the St. Louis Rams (2-5 SU, 3-4 ATS, 4-3 O/U) lost their last contest on Sunday, they are clearly a different team now that Jim Haslett has taken over as head coach.
The Arizona Cardinals (4-3 SU, 3-4 ATS, 4-3 O/U) are hoping to reach the playoffs for the first time in over a decade and could use a huge road win in this contest to help them get there.
Two weeks ago, the Dallas Cowboys, (4-1 SU, 2-3 ATS, 3-2 O/U), had to deal with Terrell Owens’ selfish whining after losing to the Redskins 26-24.
Last week, following Dallas’ 31-22 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, Owens went on some sort of religious rave that had me and everyone else who saw his idiotic comments, think he’d literally lost his mind.
The Buffalo Bills, (4-0 SU, 3-1-0 ATS, 3-1-0 O/U), are off to their best start since 1992 and will look to keep their record spotless when they hit the road to face the struggling Arizona Cardinals, (2-2 SU, 2-2-0 ATS, 2-2-0 O/U), losers of two straight games in the BetUS Sportsbook.
Maybe it’s me BetUS Sportsbook NFL bettors, but I have absolutely no idea how or why the mediocre Arizona Cardinals (2-2 SU, 2-2 ATS, 2-2 O/U), are favored over the surprising Buffalo Bills (4-0 SU, 3-1 ATS, 3-1 O/U), in this Week 5 NFL matchup!
