Broncos vs Cardinals prediction
Denver Broncos at Arizona Cardinals, NFL Week 7. Our model projects the game, the sportsbooks price it, and the two numbers sit side by side below. The priced plays — the safest side, the value bet, the win + kicker combo and the props — are on the members' board; the projection is public, and every pick is graded here after the game.
Broncos 25, Cardinals 21
Broncos by 4.3 · 46 total points
The model projects Denver Broncos to beat Arizona Cardinals 25–21; the market agrees on the favorite and prices the spread at 4.5. On the total, the model's 46 sits above the market's 43.5. The raw model gives Denver Broncos a 66.5% chance to win; the moneyline price implies 66.9%. We never bet the raw model — the published probability on every play blends it with the market, and that blended number is what the board shows members.
A projection is an expected outcome, not a promise: the other side happens, and favorites lose. 21+ and only where sports betting is legal.
