What Cardinals Fans Said About The Team
Based on the results of the above survey, it seems Cardinals fans certainly don’t lack attachment to the franchise — and they’ve been showing that dedication the last two years by backing the team on Arizona betting apps.
Arizona wound up scoring the eighth-highest average positive responses to either statement in the survey at 24.5%.
Overall, Cardinals fans finished between supporters of the Green Bay Packers (25%) and those that root for the New York Giants (24%).
Twenty-three percent of Cardinals fans said they couldn’t imagine their life without the NFL team they support, while 26% said the team is a part of their daily life.
Overall, Bears fans finished first in the survey, followed by Bills fans.
The only other NFC West team to make the top-10 in the league was the 49ers, whose fans finished in a tie for 10th alongside supporters of the Chiefs and Broncos.
With the NFL taking on more of a year-round presence, it seems it’s second nature teams would occupy more of fans’ lives.
The league’s “second season” continues Thursday with the NFL Draft. Arizona has the third overall pick, and BetMGM Sportsbook Arizona lists Texas Tech linebacker Tyree Wilson and Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud as the favorites to be selected (at +250 odds).
