Cardinals outlook for the season is bleak without Kyler, and even when Kyler returns the weapons won't be enough for them to make an impact in 2023, so taking that into account with the Broncos who have injuries of their own, it's the battle of the fittest team heading into this pre-season match-up and with the defensive depth of Denver as well as a capable backup QB in Jared Stidham who we have seen make noise as the starter last season in Vegas, it's no Brainerd why the Broncos are favored in this match-up and it's valid to take the points in this game where we have no idea what to expect from a hobbled Cardinals team with a new coach with little HC experience Jonathan Gannon. Sean Payton will coach this team to a Victory whether or not any starters play in this game, and Vance Joseph has shown to bring out the best from his defensive players. I don't see the Cardinals scoring much in this game as we don't know what direction they will be going in this upcoming year but have greater expectations for Denver and Sean P.
