The bookies in Las Vegas believe that the Arizona Cardinals are going to be the worst team in the NFL this year.
According to various sportsbooks, the Cardinals are projected to be the worst team in the National Football League this season, followed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Houston Texans.
Bettors are overwhelmingly betting on the Cardinals to finish with the fewest wins in the league: More than half of all the money bet this offseason on the team with the fewest wins has been bet on the Cardinals.

2023 will be Jonathan Gannon’s first season as the Cardinals’ head coach, as the organization fired former head coach Kliff Kingsbury earlier this year after four seasons with the team.
The Cardinals, who find themselves in the NFC West with the Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers, and Seattle Seahawks, are coming off a 4-13 record last season.
The 2023 season is going to be a crucial one for franchise quarterback Kyler Murray, who is coming off a difficult year that saw him start in 11 games (the fewest in his career) and complete 66% of his passes for 2,368 yards, 14 touchdowns (both career lows) and seven interceptions.
Murray and the Arizona Cardinals will be kicking off their 2023 season on Sunday, September 10 with a 1 p.m. matchup agaist the Washington Commanders.
