We’re five games into this year’s NFL season, and the Arizona Cardinals are the only undefeated team in the league. Sporting a whopping 5-0 record, the Cards are impressing folks left and right, and people aren’t sure what to make of it.
Last season, the Cardinals ended their season with a dull 8-8 record, easily missing the playoffs. Most betting individuals probably wouldn’t have predicted them to be leading the league at this point in time, but then again, that’s what makes the NFL so exciting to watch. But the real question remains—will Arizona manage to keep it up?
One thing that’s good to note is that their wins haven’t exactly been crummy wins. Their first game, against the Tennessee Titans, was a major 38-13 blowout, and a few games later, they beat the Los Angeles Rams, a team that has so far won all of their other games.
The Cardinals are also in a tough division, which includes the Rams, and therefore their margin for error will be thin as the weeks go by. Nevertheless, their confidence is riding as high as can be right now, so who’s to say they can’t keep it up?
With quarterback Kyler Murray at the helm, a talented bevy of receivers and backs, and a stellar defense, the sky is the limit for this year’s Cardinals. It’ll be interesting to see if they can hold down the fort—starting with their Week 6 game on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.
