The Arizona Cardinals did some major retooling this offseason, adding a handful of proven veterans and rookies who figure to step in right away.

The overhaul, however, did little to move the needle for oddsmakers ahead of the 2021 season.

According to SportsBetting.ag, the Cardinals are expected to finish last in the NFC West at -100, while they are +500 to take the division.

The Los Angeles Rams are pegged as favorites to win the NFC West at +200, followed by the San Francisco 49ers at +210 and Seattle Seahawks at +250.

Looking at the NFL as a whole, Arizona has the 17th best odds to secure the best regular season record at +4,000. It sits 14th at +5,000 to end the regular season with the worst record.
