Arizona Cardinals Betting Preview
The offseason for the Arizona Cardinals was filled with change and the threat of further change. Most notably, Kyler Murray made it clear that he wants a new contract to be the face of this franchise for the foreseeable future. But changes on defense could be the most notable item to keep an eye on as the Cardinals head into 2022 still tasked with slowing down two elite offenses in the NFC West division.
Arizona is going to be without its top wide receiver in DeAndre Hopkins to start the season, which will be important when betting on the first few games of the year. Hopkins was suspended for running afoul of the league’s performance-enhancing drug policy, though he denies he took any banned substances. Without Hopkins, the Cardinals may not soothe their quarterback’s desire for a new deal with their play on the field early in the year.

Key Additions: Marquise Brown, Zach Ertz, Andy Lee
Key Departures: Chase Edmonds, Christian Kirk, Chandler Jones, Robert Alford, Malcolm Butler
The Arizona Cardinals finished just outside of the top-10 in the NFL in scoring defense a season ago. But they are in real danger of dropping down those rankings in 2022 based on the talent that is departing from their defense. Multiple key corners in Alford and Butler are gone, while Chandler Jones will no longer be applying pressure to quarterbacks in a Cardinals uniform.
Arizona did do a nice job of restocking its offense in the wake of Christian Kirk departing and DeAndre Hopkins being suspended. The combination of Ertz and Hollywood Brown in this offense should help them get through the early portion of the season. How the targets for that duo and Hopkins are split up when they are all on the field together will be interesting to monitor throughout the season.
Arizona Cardinals Offensive Stats
| 2021 (Rank) | 2020 (Rank) | |
|---|---|---|
| Yards Per Play | 5.5 (T-16th) | 5.7 (T-12th) |
| Yards Per Rush Attempt | 4.2 (T-20th) | 4.7 (T-8th) |
| Yards Per Pass Attempt | 7.6 (T-5th) | 7.1 (T-18th) |
| Points Per Game | 25.6 (T-10th) | 25.6 (14th) |
| Offensive DVOA | 3.2% (15th) | -2.4% (19th) |
| Turnovers | 15 (4th) | 21 (T-17th) |
The Cardinals improved on offense in terms of their passing yardage numbers, but that did not translate to gains on the scoreboard. Some of that had to do with Kyler Murray missing time due to his ankle injury. But the Cardinals run game was a disappointment this past season, landing just outside of the bottom-third of the league in yards per carry. They will need to do better on the ground to give Murray a better chance to engineer touchdown drives.
Arizona Cardinals Defensive Stats
| 2021 (Rank) | 2020 (Rank) | |
|---|---|---|
| Yards Per Play Allowed | 5.5 (T-18th) | 5.3 (T-8th) |
| Yards Per Rush Attempt Allowed | 4.5 (T-27th) | 4.6 (T-21st) |
| Yards Per Pass Attempt Allowed | 6.7 (T-16th) | 6.4 (8th) |
| Points Per Game Allowed | 22.2 (16th) | 22.9 (T-11th) |
| Defensive DVOA | -8.2 (6th) | -6.6% (10th) |
| Takeaways | 27 (7th) | 21 (T-18th) |
The Cardinals certainly did not have a bad year defensively in 2021. They struggled against the run somewhat, but they managed to remain in the middle of the pack against the pass and on the scoreboard. The real question for them will be how the losses of Alford and Butler hurt them in the secondary, and if they can replace a player like Chandler Jones.
Arizona had really good turnover luck this past season as well, ranking in the top-10 in the NFL in giveaways and takeaways. Turnovers tend to be a product of luck, and it will be interesting to see if they regress on one or both fronts this season. Without as much pressure coming from their pass rush, takeaways could be harder to come by for the Arizona Cardinals defense.
Positives & Negatives
The biggest positive for the Arizona Cardinals is their balance. They are good on both sides of the ball, despite not being great. But the Cardinals are more than capable of great things on either side in any given game that could make the difference. Combine that balance with some new talent at the skill positions and this team could get to double digit wins again.
The problem for the Cardinals is that their balance can also be a negative, as there are not many things that they do exceedingly well. They should take a step back defensively this season by virtue of all of the changes they made. And the duo of Kliff Kingsbury and Kyler Murray have not shown that they are good enough to make up for many cracks in this team’s defense.
2022 Arizona Cardinals Pick & Prediction: Under 8.5 Wins
The Arizona Cardinals look like a bit of a mess coming into the 2022 NFL season. They also have a coach who has never won anything, even managing to underachieve during an 11-win season last year. This season, too much defensive upheaval and too much drama on the offensive side of the ball will not make this team better. We will go with the under 8.5 win total for Arizona as they will struggle against the best of the best in the NFC West.
