The Arizona Cardinals have drawn a ton of buzz as they've begun the season with a 2-0 record. Despite the team's blazing start, the Cardinals still have the lowest odds to win the NFC West, per PointsBet.
The Cardinals currently have +350 odds to be crowned as division champions in 2020. Of course, with the Seattle Seahawks starting at 2-0 with Russell Wilson, they presently have the best odds to win the NFC West at +175 odds.
On the other hand, the Los Angeles Rams have the third-best odds to win the division at +300. Lastly, even though the San Francisco 49ers are hindered by injuries, they have the second-best odds to repeat as NFC West champions at +275 odds.
Entering the 2020 season, the Cardinals were expected to be much-improved after acquiring DeAndre Hopkins via trade from the Houston Texans. The chemistry between Kyler Murray and Hopkins has been pristine so far, with both of them connecting on 22 passes for 219 yards and one touchdown in two games.
To kick off the season, Arizona was able to upset San Francisco, giving them an advantage over the reigning NFC champions already. And with the injuries that Kyle Shanahan's squad is dealing with, it's hard to envision the 49ers securing the division title for the second consecutive season.
Without a doubt, the NFC West has a solid argument as being the best division in the league. And while the Cardinals have done everything they can to show they are legitimate playoff contenders in 2020, they continue to be overlooked by fans and the media alike. Arizona will look to strengthen their resume with a win over the Detroit Lions in Week 3.
