The Super Bowl odds for the Arizona Cardinals took another blow Christmas night.
The Cardinals fell to 10-5 on the year with a 22-16 loss to Indianapolis. It was Arizona’s third straight defeat — Colts, Detroit (30-12), and the L.A. Rams (30-23) — after Arizona's 7-0 start.
It won’t get any easier for Kliff Kingsbury’s group, as the Cardinals travel to take on the No. 2 team in the NFC — the 11-4 Dallas Cowboys — at 2:25 p.m. Arizona time Sunday on FOX.
The team’s recent losses have given Arizona sports betting apps reason to be wary.
Cardinals Super Bowl Chances Sliding Away
The Cardinals have seen their Super Bowl betting odds dip with each passing week, with the team going from frontrunner to afterthought.

At Caesars Sportsbook Arizona, the Cardinals have gone from +800 three weeks ago to +2500, which is good for 10th overall.

At FanDuel Sportsbook Arizona, the Cardinals are +2000 a week after the site had them at +1300. Arizona ranks 10th overall on the operator’s Super Bowl big board.
Churchill Downs’ operated TwinSpires Arizona has the Cardinals at +2500 to win Super Bowl LVI this week after having the team +1700 a week ago.
Odds of a Bounce Back on Sunday?
Arizona sportsbooks have made the Cardinals underdogs as they look to get back on track Sunday.

How the Cardinals Playoff Picture Looks
The Cardinals, despite their recent losing streak, have locked up a playoff berth for the first time since 2015.
As of now, Arizona is the fifth seed in the seven-team NFC playoffs, meaning they’d face fourth-seeded Tampa Bay in the Wild Card round.
Kingsbury’s team has slipped a game behind the 11-4 Rams in the race for the NFC West title.
The Rams close out the regular season with a road game against 8-6 Baltimore on Sunday, before hosting 8-7 San Francisco on Jan. 9.
After facing the Cowboys this week, Arizona closes out the season at home against 5-10 Seattle on Jan. 9.
Clinching the division title would guarantee a home game for Arizona in the Wild Card round.
