Cardinals Host Colts in NFL Week 16 Betting

Indianapolis Colts at Arizona Cardinals CashBet Wagering Analysis

At the beginning of the season, the Cardinals were the fourth pick in the NFC West.  But Arizona has proven the “experts” wrong.  First place in the NFC West belongs to the Cardinals.  And they are a top-tier Super Bowl best bet favorite.  Still, there are a decent number of doubters regarding the Cardinals.  And a good example that they point to is Arizona’s debacle at Detroit last time out.  The Cardinals were 2-touchdown favorites.  Yet they lost to the worst team in the NFL.  This week finds a tough Christmas Night game against the Colts.
