Cardinals at Broncos picks and predictions

Prediction

Broncos 27, Cardinals 10

Moneyline

The Cardinals won’t have any of their starters and aren’t likely to have any key rotational players playing. QB Clayton Tune will start and QB Desmond Ridder will finish the game. The Cardinals have only scored 3 points in Ridder’s playing time this preseason.

The Cardinals haven’t scored more than 14 points in the preseason and the Broncos have scored 27 or more in both.

The Broncos probably win but don’t bet the moneyline here when there is better value with the spread.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Broncos have won both preseason games by more than 3 points. The Cardinals lost last week by 8.

For the Broncos, QB Zach Wilson, a former No. 2 overall pick, will play against the Cardinals’ deep backups. He should look great.

BET BRONCOS -3 (-110).

Over/Under

The Broncos should be able to score as they have thus far in the preseason. The Cardinals should be in double digits at least, just as they have in their first 2 preseason games.

BET OVER 34 (-110).

Prediction

Cardinals 19, Broncos 16

Moneyline

The Cardinals have played better on the road than they have at home with 3 of their 4 wins away from home. The Broncos are 2-4 at home this season.

The Cardinals have won 3 games that QB Colt McCoy has started in his 2 years in Arizona. The Broncos are 1-1 in games Brett Rypien has started in his 3 years in Denver.

The question will come down to whether Arizona’s offense can stay on schedule and move the ball against a strong Denver defense.

Denver’s offense is the lowest-scoring unit in the league at 14.9 points per game, while the Cardinals are last in the league, giving up 26.8 points per game.

Neither team is built to play from behind, but McCoy’s experience will be the difference in this game.

BET CARDINALS (+105).

Against the spread

The Cardinals are 6-7 ATS this season, having covered the spread twice in losses.

The Broncos are 5-8 ATS and have covered the spread in each of their last 2 games, both losses. Denver is 0-5 ATS this season when favored.

I like the Cardinals to cover, but with only a 2-point spread and positive odds on the moneyline for the outright win, you are better off betting the Cardinals on the moneyline. PASS.

Over/Under

The Over has hit only twice this season in Denver’s games while all but 1 of the Cardinals’ games this season have had at least 37 total points. However, with McCoy at QB, they have scored 23 points combined in 2 games.

The Broncos scored 28 last week against Chiefs, but have scored 16 or fewer in 7 of their last 10 games.

BET UNDER 36.5 (-106).
