Not too sure why Arizona is favored here. Sure, they are 2-1 this preseason but Denver has played better. The Broncos are also 2-1 and they have a coach in Mike Shannahan that likes to win in the preseason. While Denny's Green preseason record with the Cards is 6-5, Shannahan's is 34-21. Despite getting the win last game against Houston, Shannahan knows the Broncos underperformed. History says he'll bounce back here as Denver is 14-5 ATS after an ATS loss in the preseason with him as coach. Preseason underdogs off a couple of home wins are excellent plays covering 78% of the time. Denver is taking this game a bit more seriously I think as well. The starting running back job is wide open. Tatum Bell, Mike Bell and Cedric Cobbs will all be laying it on the line to try to win the job. Getting more than a field goal here is the icing on the cake. Broncos plus the points.
