17.5 point favorites over the Texans

[Diverdan]

I don’t know if there is a way to find out, but I’ve been a fan since 1970 and cannot remember any Cardinal team favored to win a game by this large a margin.

Too many points. But the Texans are that bad. And, at some point, the Cards have to peak. But I have bet against them too many times already and been shocked. So I am not touching this one

 

[Hoodhero]

Texans have lost by 71-3 over last 2 road games. Bookies are looking at this game as K1 padding stats for his MVP case

 

[SECTION 11]

I’m not sure I like it. Too much.

The line could be 42 points and I will still be nervous the Cards will let the Texans hang around too long.

 

[TJ]

I think this is going to be close. I’d take Houston +17.5

How do you give a “pro” team 17.5 points? Not me that’s for sure.

 

[Proximo]

I won't bet on any line over 9.5 like ever.

But I don't think it's necessarily wrong. I will be disapointed if the Cards don't win by that amount or more.

 

[Zeem_Freeze]

the line I like is first half spread... Cardinals -10.5

we jump out early on teams and usually up big at halftime... We've been up 10.5 many times this year and against way better teams

Houston lost their last 2 road games 31-3 vs Indy and 40-0 vs Buffalo, so makes sense if you're trying to get some money in on Hou

18.5 when I checked earlier

Trap game.

 

[Covert Rain]

Trap game.

This. I am not one for looking ahead by I want to play Green Bay so bad right now. First things first. Have to take care of business this week.

tough game.... every reason to look past it.

but also, every reason to be over emotional about it then be too drained to play green bay on thursday.

This is a very dangerous week Cards fans.

logic tells me if we win 1 of these 2 we did well...

but my eyes and my heart tells me we can win them both..

just have to stay focused.

the "Same old Cardinals"??... they lose them both.


the last time we had a similar game was when BA had every reason to beat the snot out of the stillers, and the talent to do it..... but the team just failed....

but that team wasnt 6-0
that team didnt have Kyler Murray,... THE Baby Yoda guru of the NFL...
that team wasnt as good all around as this team is.

Honestly my biggest concern against the texans is cheap shots.... maybe some of those players dont like the fact that Hop and Watt bailed and moved to greener pastures.... would hate to see a knee spear or a chop block out of spite.

...and the only bright side about green bay?? is we always play them well...drawing them on a short week was a straight corn hole for us...why couldnt these games be swapped?? I mean, Hop and Watt playing against their old team... thats prime time material right?

tough week....

gonna be hilarious when the pundits have us at 4 in their power rankings while we sit at 8-0 though.... we can all laugh together, I hope they keep doing it.

Because we are going to win Cards fans...

I wonder if this is the biggest point spread AZ has ever had?

 

[TheCardinal]

I checked out a site called Odds Shark which keeps track of prior spreads going back to 1980. Though the interface is a bit clunky, the largest spreads for the Cardinals (as favorites) that I could find were:

12/27/09: St Louis Rams +16
12/07/08: St Louis Rams +14.5

The Cardinals won both games. Covered both spreads easily, too.

I won big everytime on the cards bets! May throw some away at this one just cause - we are favored by do much, be bold, be aggressive, kick some AZ!
