We know that, they won three games in 2025, they pick third overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, they have a semi-new coaching regime, with a new head coach, offensive and special teams coordinators, but a lot of returning positions coaches.
They have no quarterback, and not exactly a stellar market to attain one that is going to help them make a leap.
So, when DraftKings Sportsbook released their 2026 NFL Win Totals, it was not a shock to see the Arizona Cardinals at the bottom of not only the NFC West, not just the NFC, but the NFL.
In fact, the Arizona Cardinals 4.5-wins total is tied for the lowest in the NFL with a team in an eerily similar situation, who is allegedly vying for the same backup quarterback to be their franchise savior... the Miami Dolphins. Both teams are linked heavily to Green Bay Packers backup Malik Willis.
Here is the NFC West Early total wins odds for 2026:
- Seattle Seahawks 10.5 - -130/+110 (over 10.5 wins will give you -130 odds, under +110)
- Los Angeles Rams 10.5 - -140/+115
- San Francisco 49ers 10.5 - +125/-150
- Arizona Cardinals 4.5 - -110/-110
So, everyone else in the division is actually among the tops in the NFL, while the Cardinals are the worst in the NFL.
An uphill battle to prove people wrong starts early.
