Cardinals vs Broncos Preseason Betting Prediction

The Week 2 preseason clash between the Arizona Cardinals and the Denver Broncos is shaping up to be a compelling test for both squads. Historically, Denver has had Arizona’s number, winning six of their last seven head-to-head meetings. From a betting perspective, this game offers clear trends for both the spread and total. Denver’s games have leaned heavily toward the over, going 12-5 in their last 17, while the Cardinals have been more mixed, with recent August contests trending under. This sets up a fascinating clash of styles, with Arizona’s run-heavy approach aiming to grind the clock against Denver’s ability to force turnovers and create big plays. Bettors should weigh the Broncos’ dominant home ATS record against Arizona’s success versus AFC competition when making their pick, but history suggests Denver holds the upper hand in both performance and betting value.

Cardinals vs Broncos Preseason Betting Prediction: Arizona

The Arizona Cardinals may have momentum against AFC opponents, but when it comes to the Broncos specifically, their record shows a clear uphill battle. Adding to the challenge, Arizona’s road trips to Denver have rarely been fruitful, with a 1-5 ATS record in their last six visits to Mile High. Still, Arizona enters this matchup with some key strengths—most notably, a highly productive rushing attack ranked seventh in the league and an ability to minimize penalties, giving them a fighting chance to keep the game close.
