Broncos vs Cardinals Prediction
In this Broncos vs Cardinals Prediction, the Broncos are coming as -4.5 road favorites. The Cardinals ended their previous four-game losing skid, but I’m still not convinced that they turned their season around. They have the second-worst offense in football and had allowed 31, 36 twice and 45 points in their four games before last week, having lost and failed to cover both of their home games this season. On the flip side, the Broncos are red-hot with a 4-1 record in their last 5 games and 4-1 ATS, having allowed just 31 points combined in their last two. The Broncos are also 4-1 both straight up and against the spread in their 5 head-to-head meetings against the Cardinals, so lay the points with them on the road in this one.
