NFL Betting Odds Week 9 - Arizona Cardinals at Chicago Bears

The Arizona Cardinals (4-3) look to win their fourth straight game on the road against the Chicago Bears (4-3) from Soldier Field at 1:00pm EST in a game that can be seen on FOX. The Cardinals had a depressing defeat last week against the Carolina Panthers losing 34-21 as 10-point favorites in NFL betting odds. Arizona had the No 1 ranked run defense coming into the game against the Panthers but allowed 270 rushing yards alone in the loss. Kurt Warner threw 27-46 for 242-yards, two touchdowns but a whopping 5 interceptions and one interception. “Last year, we overcame a lot of deficiencies. This year, we just haven't done that,” Warner said after the loss. Online sportsbooks have the Cardinals +3 road underdogs in NFL betting odds for week 9.

The last time the Cardinals faced the Bears in NFL odds was back in 2006 when Arizona blew a 20-point lead to lose by one. This year might be different since they are 3-0 on the road but with how the schizophrenic Cardinals are playing, you can’t really be too sure which team which show up to play. The Cardinals are 4-3 straight up, 4-3 against the spread in NFL betting and are 6-4 when playing on grass. Wide receiver Anquan Boldin is questionable for this game against the Bears but did practice on Friday after missing a few days with an ankle injury along with defensive end Kenny Iwebema (knee) and corner back Michael Adams (hamstring). Bet the Cardinals +3 in week 9 NFL betting odds against the Bears.

Chicago looks to win their second straight game of the season tied with the Green Bay Packers for second place in the NFC North. The Bears had a monstrous win against the Cleveland Browns last week winning 30-6 as 11.5-point favorites in NFL betting odds. Quarterback Jay Cutler threw 17-30 for 225-yards with no touchdowns and one interception. Cutler hasn’t had much help from his offensive line though as they allowed him to get sacked 4 times against the Browns. Matt Forte led the Bears with 26 carries for 90-yards and two touchdowns. A big factor in this game for Chicago will be if wide receiver Devin Hester will play. He is listed as questionable but did practice with the team on Friday. "Just a little swollen," Hester said. "I'll be ready." The Bears are 4-3 straight up, 4-3 against the spread in NFL odds and are 5-5 when playing in November. Chicago is a 3-point favorite at home in NFL betting for week 9.

Gordon's NFL Picks: The Bears had a big game against the Browns but they are the Browns and that's not saying much. The fact that Cutler also didn't throw any touchdowns doesn't help their cause either.
