GLENDALE – The embarrassment that is the 2026 offseason for the Arizona Cardinals continue to get even worse. After seemingly the last team picked for the coaching search, not spending in free agency and polarizing NFL draft, the Sportsbooks had a brutal response. The Cardinals will be a betting underdog for every single game next year, even with the extra home game.
The most embarrassing aspect is the spread for the first 11 games is a touchdown or greater for the franchise. For context, even if the team starter every game up seven points, the Sportsbooks would still like their chances. The only two NFL teams to go winless was the 2008 Detroit Lions and 2017 Cleveland Browns, but they did that in a 16-game season.
