Cardinals vs Chiefs Final NFL Betting Analysis

The trends definitely favor the Chiefs, but the last time an NFL team showed up as a close to +17 dog, that team not only covered the spread, but it also beat it’s opponent straight up. Arizona’s different than the Buffalo Bills, the team that beat the Minnesota Vikings as a +17 dog.

The Cardinals’ offense is a mess. It only averages 13.8 points off 233 yards per. But, there are a couple of reasons to believe Arizona keeps this within the spread. First, quarterback Josh Rosen rallied the Cards to an improbable 18-15 win over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 8.

Second, Zona battles the Chiefs after their bye. Both could add up to a fantastic Arizona performance, one that shouldn’t lead to a win straight up, but that could lead to a win against the spread.
