Arizona Cardinals NFL Betting Lines

NFL Betting Lines saw the Cardinals score a lot of points and give up a lot of points. The team lost quarterback Matt Leinart for much of the year but they may have had better NFL lines off as Kurt Warner threw for 27 TDs and 3,400 yards according to NFL Betting Lines stats.

The Cardinals have excellent receivers in Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin. Edgerrin James had a solid season with 1,200 yards and 7 TDs according to NFL Betting lines stats. The offense was 12th in total yards according to NFL Betting Lines stats but they were an even better 7th in points scored in NFL Betting Lines numbers.

The Cardinals were an over team as they went 11-5 in terms of over/under totals in NFL Betting Lines. Let’s take a look at some numbers from the Arizona Cardinals 2007 NFL season.

The defense was almost the exact opposite of the offense. They ranked a respectable 17th in yards allowed according to NFL lines stats but they were a disgraceful 27th in points allowed according to NFL lines stats. That is the main reason they went over the NFL Betting Lines total in 11 of their 16 games in 2007. If the Cardinals hope to improve versus NFL Betting Lines they will have to improve the defense. They need a solid pass rusher, linebacking help, another cornerback and a safety. The offense could also use some line help and a replacement for James who is not getting any younger. They may also need another wide receiver to take the third spot alongside Fitzgerald and Boldin. The Cardinals also desperately need a new punter as they had the worst net punting average in the NFL according to NFL Betting Lines stats.

The Arizona Cardinals have been a tough team to predict for many seasons and that may be the case again in 2008 versus NFL lines. The Cardinals have offensive talent and some nice pieces on defense but they definitely need some playmakers on the defensive side if they are to improve versus NFL Betting Lines in 2008.
