Is it just me or is most of the NFL having a down year this season? The Carolina Panthers (-2.5)
aren’t the only team to meet middling expectations so far this season as the Arizona Cardinals (+2.5) are threatening Kliff Kingsbury’s job and the New England Patriots (-2.5) are struggling to find their groove behind Mac Jones. Fortunately, football always looks fine between evenly matched opponents, if you don’t look too closely.
The 6-6 Pats and the 4-8 Cardinals aren’t so far apart from each other that they can’t put on a decent show together.
