Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Arizona Cardinals NFL Week 16 Best Bets and Odds

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Arizona Cardinals Betting Odds

It has been a betting on NFL season of misery for Tom Brady of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.  And then for Kyler Murray of the Arizona Cardinals.  Brady unretired after a couple of weeks with his wife and kids and went on to get a divorce.  Following that personal problem, he has been seen yelling at teammates all year.  But Brady is hardly innocent.  He skipped a large chunk of training camp time.  Also, he blew off team meetings to attend the wedding of Patriots owner Robert Kraft.

Buccaneers vs. Cardinals CashBet Wagering Analysis

Tom Brady’s handpicked head coach Todd Bowles has been outed as the GOAT’s personal doormat.  Meanwhile, Kyler Murray is out with an injury.  And perhaps that is an online sportsbook blessing.  Of the two choices, Tampa Bay is the one that the casual sector will prefer.  To illuminate, the Brady Bunch brand remains strong, especially against such a putrid opponent.  Sharps will take a look at the Cardinals, but without enthusiasm.  Still, Arizona may offer a better price point.
