Yeah.
This is a serious trap game at a time when we can least afford a screw up.
Saddest part is, we can win by 40 and it still doesn't improve our sense of the team...
But since both our offense and defense are designed to keep games close...as bad as they are we likely don't win by more than 10
Trap game? Cmon. This team can’t think about anyone other than whom they’re facing.

I feel we have a subset of fans that feel that every bad opponent is a trap game. There are only 17 games in a season. The concept of “trap games” shouldn’t exist in the nfl. Baseball? Sure. Basketball and hockey? Maybe. NFL? Nah.

I liked them a lot. Lots of people on the socials think the Cards have the best of these alternate Iooks. think the sideline hat was great too. I want to get it.
I liked the use of the sand color (even though they stole the idea from the coyotes and dbacks) and the logo and the use of the copper. But they could’ve left the diarrhea off and it would’ve been better.

Yeah yeah yeah... I understand trap game clown.

Opponent we should beat.
Travel advantage
Extra long prep time coming off TNF.

Should it be?? Oh fudge no. This team suxx enough greasy wrinkly monkey balls that they cannot overlook Globe Preparatory Academy, let alone an actual pro team.
But arrogance. It's an infection. It spreads by masking itself as hard earned self confidence....and nobody knows if they are infected until they have had an outbreak

This team is so bad that we have no reason to take any other team lightly

That's just crazy talk

They have earned nothing and are in last place in our division

Especially for a team that’s made the playoffs once in the last 7 years.

I actually like the color scheme of the numbers, pant stripe and facemask all set against the desert tan color. I also really liked the Arizona emblem on the shoulders. I was originally hesitant on the helmet decal but it looked much better on TV than I expected.

However once someone said online that the jerseys looked like a tortilla I couldn't get that image out of my head. I personally thought they were pretty solid overall minus the tortilla part.

I wasn't impressed by the pictures I saw, but live at the game they looked great. Especially with that field as the backdrop. I loved the helmet.

Titans are definitely the worst team in the league and we are a couple notches above. Not that it's saying much. We can use them to rebound and kick them while they are down before they start to garner sympathy. No one in the world will remember this game if we win.

I'm confident we'll play decently with a nice defensive effort. I'm going to take all my pure unadulterated positivity and roll it into AZ -1.5 and 47.5u, teaser. Decent shot anyway.

If they lose and our season crumbles into madness like it will inevitably anyway, I'll take solace knowing the Cardinals crushed my soul to dust a long time ago, what's a little more.

Btw, I just started doing teasers and wish I had been doing them all this time. I recommend it. Finding decent success and it's way more fun.

If the Cards are trailing at the half, as the Rams were, I’d be worried.

The Titans were at home vs the Rams. They have been slightly less sucky at home but only led at half time in that game because Stafford threw an INT on his own 35 right before the half to give them an instant FG.

On the road however the Titans have scored 12 total points. Zero touchdowns. Converted 4 of 25 3rd downs. And averaged 150 yards of total offense per game.

Be nice if the face mask were copper or bright yellow...probably copper with this logo, bright yellow with the standard logo

Very apt description of the result of a loss this Sunday. I'm pretty sure the board would be unbearable.

JG has us playing pretty solidly at SFS though, so I'll go 27-13 Cardinals.

seahawks or panthers - whiners or saints - good or bad - the competition doesn't matter - we cardiac

never take the over - or the under unless it's less than 7 points - same against the titans - because our bend but don't break doesn't appear as effective against crappy qbs who only want to throw it kyler distances in the first place

it's gonna be closer than weed and brownies - i would say whoever has the pigskin last but both these teams are capable beating themselves in the end

we're pretty screwed if petzing won't run the ball

Cards opened as 9.5-point favorites and it’s been bet down to 7.5? Is that accurate?

A teaser is where you can set a two way bet. So for example the line is 7.5 and the o/u is 41.5.

I get to choose 6 point swing to change the odds. So if I pick the cards, instead of -7.5, it drops to -1.5. Alternatively if I pick the Titans, it goes to +13.5.

If I pick over, it's 35.5 (from 41.5) or the under, (adding 6), I get the 47.5.

Both have to hit to win, and if you win and tie, it's a push. Any loss is a loss. Yeah you have to win twice, but it's less daunting. Even if the payout is (varies) say 11.5:10, I'm still finding more consistent success, personally anyway.

Not sure 6 points is standard or each have their own point swing.

So it’s kind of like a parlay of two alternate lines? I found these too confusing and the action too low to bother with, but I do love one- and two-leg parlays.

Essentially yeah. Just the payout isn't like a parlay and you can push. Still, a regular bet might be in the -125 through +125 for most bets, so it's not too far off from that.

I largely ignored it myself. But you would pick it up quickly, it's just a straight change in points and you can swing it 2 ways. Maybe not for everyone, but man I've been far better than regular/parlay and I'm much more confident in higher bets.

You can get Cards under 24.5 points and Cards moneyline at +195 rn. Seems like pretty easy money.
