3 Reasons the Cardinals Will Upset the Panthers

Cardinals’ Incredible Streak as Road Underdogs

Say what you will about Arizona, but the team is darn good in these spots. The Cardinals have seven straight wins as road underdogs, covering the spread by an absurd 18.64 points per game.

Carolina, on the other hand, is 1-9 outright in its last 10 games as home favorites. The Panthers always find a way to lose, while Arizona always finds a way to win.

Kyler Murray > Baker Mayfield

One tumultuous offseason and everyone forgot how good Kyler is. The Raiders game brought some people back, but there’s no reason Baker Mayfield should be favored over Murray.

Baker is completing just 51.9% of his passes this season and hasn’t thrown for more than 170 yards in either of his last two games. Mayfield is bad, Kyler is good. Sometimes, it’s just that simple.

Diverse Offense

Arizona’s diverse group of playmakers will confuse the Carolina defense. With Kyler’s dual-threat ability, James Conner and Darrel Williams will have plenty of room to operate out of the backfield.

Matt Rhule is nobody’s idea of a smart coach, so the consistent pressure from Murray’s legs will allow the Cardinals to diversify their offensive attack and run the scoreboard up.

If you’re ready to back the Cardinals for another road upset, just be sure to claim your $1,000 free bet from BetMGM first. Arizona practically prints money in these spots, so sign up for BetMGM and snag your share.
