Arizona Cardinals - NFL Betting Analysis
Heading into week 15, the Cardinals will look to get back in the win column, as they are coming off a 27-13 loss to the New England Patriots. In terms of betting, Arizona not only lost the game but failed to cover the spread as a 2.0-point underdog. With an over-under betting line of 44, the two teams fell below that figure as they combined for 40. The Cardinals were not able to make a comeback in last week's game, as they trailed New England by a score of 20-13 heading into the final quarter. Through 13 games, the Cardinals have an ATS record of 6-7. So far, they have an over-under record of 7-5-1. This week's betting total of 36.5 is lower than the line in their previous games.
Heading into this week's matchup, the Cardinals' offense is averaging 21.3 points per game, placing them 17th in the NFL. This week, the team is matched up against the league's 4th-ranked defense, look for Arizona to have a below-average performance compared to their usual offensive output. Yards could be hard to come by in the passing game, as not only have they struggled to move the ball through the air, but they are facing a secondary ranked 4th in passer rating allowed. On the ground, the Cardinals are averaging 114.7 yards per game.
Denver Broncos - NFL Betting Analysis
Heading into week 15, the Broncos will look to get back in the win column, as they are coming off a 34-28 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Even though Denver lost the game, they were able to keep things closer than expected, as they were 9.0-point underdogs. The teams combined for a total of 62 points, which surpassed the over-under betting line of 44. The Broncos were not able to make a comeback in last week's game, as they trailed Kansas City by a score of 34-21 heading into the final quarter. Through 13 games, the Broncos have an ATS record of 5-8. So far, they have an over-under record of 2-11. This week's betting total of 36.5 is lower than the line in their previous games.
Heading into this week's matchup, the Broncos offense is averaging 14.9 points per game, placing them 32nd in the NFL. Look for the team to put together a strong offensive performance vs a Cardinals defense giving up 348 points per game. Although the Broncos come into the game ranked just 22nd in pass yards per game, they will benefit from facing an Arizona secondary that is vulnerable through the air. We expect Denver to have an above-average performance in the passing attack. On the ground, Denver figure to have their fair share of problems as they come into the game as the 25th-ranked team in rush yards per game. In addition, they are facing a defense that has done a good job stopping the run.
