Are the Cardinals a good bet against the line?

The Cardinals have covered 48.5% of 169 games with a posted line since 2016, against a break-even of 52.4%. That is below break-even, which is the ordinary case — the line exists to make both sides roughly equal, and over a long enough record almost every club lands near 50%. Their straight win rate of 36.4% is a different question entirely: winning often and covering often come apart exactly as the market intends.
