Are you a little surprised?
I am...but, kind of in a good way. For the Cardinals to be in the middle of the pack (tied for 16th) just a tad below the Patriots, Saints and Titans and on a par with the Colts and the Steelers is a fair sign of respect, particularly in light of how much lower the Cardinals’ Super Bowl odds were the past few years —- and at rock bottom in 2018.
Hopefully, these odds will provide the Cardinals with a little extra motivation, because the Rams are tied for 2nd, the 49ers are 6th and the Seahawks are tied for 7th. Talk about respect for NFC West!
The question of the off-season is —- will the Cardinals increase their odds following free agency and the 2021 NFL Draft?

Kyler Murray’s reflections on 2020 and expectations for 2021 (interview on the Pat McAfffe Show)
- “It was like, you just didn’t know which team you were getting,”
- “That comes to us being inconsistent,” he added.
- “For me, it starts with the little things, and I have said it before, organizations that win, they do everything right. They do everything the right way. Attention to detail, the small things.”
- “We started off pretty hot and we took a kind of a disappointing turn, ended up not making the playoffs, which was very disappointing,” he said.
- “I expect it to be a lot better in Year 3.”
