The Arizona Cardinals will begin the 2021 season in seven days when they take on the Tennessee Titans on the road. They have high hopes for this season after just missing the playoffs last season.
Quarterback Kyler Murray enters his third season and they added talent on both sides of the ball.
They are considered a long shot to be Super Bowl champions, according to Tipico Sportsbook.
However, as I wrote for Sportsbook Wire, despite their long-shot status, they are one of the best bets to win the Super Bowl.
Arizona Cardinals (+4000)
Bet $100 to win $4,000
This is a pick solely if you want to take a chance on a long shot. Of all the long shots, the Cardinals are appealing, as they just missed the playoffs last season and have a budding star at quarterback in Kyler Murray.
If he can take a step forward like Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen did last year, the Cardinals will be incredibly exciting. They are better at almost every position, they have weapons on offense and a healthier, improved defense on paper. Of all the long shots, the Cardinals are the best pick to win Super Bowl 56.
This isn’t to say that they are a favorite or that this is a prediction they will. But in terms of betting value, they make a great bet.
All four teams in the NFC West have a Super Bowl ceiling. Longer odds make the Cardinals incredible value. A lot has to go right for the Cardinals. Murray has to improve more. J.J. Watt and the other aging veterans must stay healthy and be productive.
If you are going to look for a long shot to bet on, the Cardinals are that team.
