Commentary:

The Arizona Cardinals are looking to improve on a throwaway four-win season from 2023. Kyler Murray missed half the season, and their defense was awful across the board. They were a strong ‘overs’ team last season with their quick pace of play and their poor defense. A healthy Murray and standout rookie Harrison Jr. should provide some nice highlight reels, but their defense is still not good enough to make a material improvement.
