The Arizona Cardinals look to upset everyone else in the division.
Most projections again have Arizona falling way short in 2024 despite moves that bolstered both sides of the football in the desert.
"Can I entertain you with some longshot odds for the Arizona Cardinals in the super competitive NFC West? Hear me out. First off, I am expecting a 'Super Bowl' hangover of sorts from the 49ers. They were one of the healthiest offenses last season, and they won’t be as lucky when it comes to injuries two years in a row. Their offensive line is super top-heavy with Trent Williams. If he misses time, their offense could run into some real issues," wrote Erickson.
"If the 49ers/ Rams falter from injuries, I think the Arizona Cardinals could be the sneaky team that ascends to the top of the division. Their team has improved dramatically after back-to-back strong drafts. And they finally have a healthy Kyler Murray available for the entire season. And they should benefit in injury unluckiness for their division foes, given they ranked 30th in adjusted games lost due to injuries last season .
"Although I won’t go as far as sprinkling in 50-1 bets on Murray to win MVP, a bet on the plucky birds to upset the West will be my exposure play. This team played competitive football last season under Jonathan Gannon despite a depleted roster with nothing to play for. Over their last eight games, the Cardinals went 5-3 against the spread. They beat the Steelers and Eagles on the road.
