Not everyone thinks we suck..We are favored by 1.5 points
I dont care if we are at home or playing in George Bush's Garden. They are 4-0 and we have lost 2 games, that some here think we need to ship Warner to the CFL and start over. And yet we are favored to beat a very good 4-0 team. We always beat good teams, every year. We are notorious for losing to bad teams and beating good ones.(Pittsburgh, Seattle last year) We will beat Buffalo. If we go 5-2 the rest of the way at home...and 2-3 on the road...We are 9-7.....That will win the division.

Home Team gets 3 points right out of the gate. The -1.5 betting line right now doesnt mean the odds makers think we will win. In fact it means if on a mutual site we would be at +1.5 points and if we were playing in Buffalo we would be at +4.5 points. Vegas odds makers do not think we will win in fact they throw out this bet to try and entice more betters to lose there money.

This absolutely makes no sense. We are favored to win..Period!!! I know the home team gets 3 points...So the fact we are favored by 1.5 means....that we should beat them by a point or 2! Why is this so difficult. I dont care about the nuances of betting, but I know enough to know...That is you bet on the Cardinals..YOU HAVE TO GIVE 1.5 points...period. That means...AT home they believe the Cards might win a squeeker.....The Giants are 9 point favorites on the Seahakws...at home....SHow me some backwards logic there..of how Seattle is predicted to win.
And the dude that says "Yeah That" must like just thinking the opposite of me....The line is the line...No matter where...They are not play at Buffalo so we are not underdogs.
yay! best case scenario is 9-7 with an old aging QB who has no future and a young QB who we still don't know if he has a future. Bring on mediocrity forever! hooray!

What even makes less sense is your logic...If the throw this bet out to entice people to lose money....Then why dont they leave it there the entire time?? Geee hmmmm maybe because if a bunch of money is thrown on the Cardinals.....they say ...uh oh...lets raise the Line and make it harder for them to pick the Cards....The Line...and let me explain...is to make it very hard to win money....by making the game an even match by giving or not giving points. That is why great college teams give 35 points to really bad ones...so they public just doesnt throw the house on the good team!

I'm tired of hearing we have had only ONE winning season since moving to the valley. At least it will provide a new punch line to the media.
