There are 21 teams listed ahead of the Cardinals in Caesars’ Super Bowl LX winner market. The Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles are co-favorites at +675. The Eagles, Super Bowl LIX underdogs, are now defending champions. Two teams within Arizona’s division are in the top seven. The L.A. Rams and San Francisco 49ers are both +1,600 to win the NFL title.
The Seattle Seahawks, another NFC West team, are tied with the Cards at +7,000. That leaves just nine teams with longer odds to claim the Lombardi Trophy.
Not much action
The Cardinals aren’t seeing much action at BetMGM's Super Bowl market. The online sportsbook reported in its latest championship odds and insights Tuesday that Arizona had 0.9% of the tickets and 0.7% of the market handle.
They’re part of nine opponents with under 1% of the action. 10 squads are getting less money than the Cards.
One of Arizona’s divisional rivals, the Rams, saw their chances go from +2,200 to +2,000, and the NFC’s L.A. team is the biggest liability in BetMGM's conference championship odds.
Bolstering the defense
Just how wild would an Arizona championship be, not just for the bettor but NFL history? Well, the Cardinals have never won the Super Bowl, and they've only played in one (2008 season).
Arizona hasn’t made the NFL playoffs since 2021, and quarterback Kyler Murray only appeared in one postseason game since the franchise drafted him No. 1 overall in 2019.
The Cardinals hope to reverse that fortune behind a remade defense that added veterans Josh Sweat, L.J. Collier, Dalvin Tomlinson, Akeem Davis-Gaither, and Mykal Walker. Arizona also selected rookies Walter Nolen, Will Johnson, Jordan Burch, and Cody Simon in the NFL Draft's first four rounds.
