The Arizona Cardinals have impressed some NFL experts but many aren’t sold on their chances

While we have not chimed in on the Arizona Cardinals chances of winning in 2017 yet, some NFL experts have already done so.  Depending on who you talk to, they are either winning the Super Bowl or ending up a bust.

That seems to be the way people in the Valley of the Sun feel as well.  There is a feeling of uncertainty what team we will get in 2017.  Will we see the 2015 Cardinals team that made it to the NFC Championship Game or the 2016 team that failed expectations?

One outlet, cbssports.com, has an expert that believes in the Cardinals.  Will Brinson has predicted the Cardinals will win the Super Bowl.  To be fair, he also chose the Chargers to be in the Super Bowl.  There is a belief he has been hacked.

Yeah, picking a Cardinals-Chargers Super Bowl is nuts.  Don’t get me wrong, it would be a fun matchup.  The Cardinals certainly have a shot at postseason.  But the Chargers?

Of their five experts weighing in, Brinson is the only one that picked the Cardinals to win the NFC West then win the Super Bowl.  Three other experts picked the Cardinals to reach the playoffs as a wild card.

The only cbssports.com expert not to have the Cardinals go to the postseason?  That would be Jason LaCanfora.  He’s entitled to his opinion but we’ll agree to disagree here.

NFL.com is not as excited about the Cardinals.  All 15 of their experts went with the Seattle Seahawks to win the NFC West.  Of those 15, only four of them chose the Cardinals as a wild card team.

There is little surprise that most experts believe in the Seahawks over the Cardinals, however given the personnel, a little surprised only a few believe the Cardinals can make it to the postseason at all.
