Change is in the air, and football gambling oddsmakers do not yet know what to make of the prospects of the Arizona Cardinals for the 2010 football betting season. Football gambling questions abound for the Arizona Cardinals in spite of consecutive playoff seasons as they will be lacking a important football betting asset with the retirement of Kurt Warner.



Warner was a record setting quarterback that is nearly a surety for the Hall of Fame. When he took over for Leinart as the Arizona Cardinals starting quarterback and directed Arizona to the Super Bowl in 2008, he raised from the dead a career that looked dead.

Tension is high in Arizona Cardinals camp as there was a tussle at a practice started by defensive tackle Darnell Dockett and offensive tackle Levi Brown. Leinart threw the ball down in Dockett’s area after Dockett apparently took a swipe at Leinart’s leg. Brown pushed Dockett, shielding his quarterback, and the brawl was on.

Dockett should have thought better than to have a go at Leinart, leading to him to fall. A hands off policy on all quarterbacks, particularly the starters, is pretty clear in preseason practices.

For his part Dockett didn’t truly back down saying that in order to be ready for the season, the Arizona Cardinals must go all out at practice. Arizona is a 2nd choice with the football prospects behind the San Francisco 49ers to win the NFC West.

“You can’t come out here and play 80 percent and hope to win our third division title,” stated Dockett. “It just don’t happen like that. Every day we step on the field, we have to go harder and harder and harder. We got to treat them (teammates) like they’re the 49ers. That’s the only way we are going to be able to back up all the great work and try to win our third title.” In terms of the NFL preseason gambling, training camp fights do not actually mean much of anything. In this case you could wonder why Dockett would take such chances with perhaps injuring the man who’s attempting to fill the quite huge void left by Kurt Warner. Going after his ankles was just plain dangerous. On the flip side, it illustrates that Dockett, and the other competitors involved in the bout, are passionate about their team this season. When gambling on the NFL this season, you want to see that sort of thing. A team who goes all out during practice could be a better choice than NFL picks who are satisfied hanging out on the sidelines and giving only half as good as they’ve got.

Arizona defeated the NFL lines in their preseason starter as they defeated the Houston Texans 19-16 as 3-point home underdogs as the match went over the total of 33. Leinart has vowed to take preseason matches seriously as he gets ready for for the starting job.

“I’m definitely not taking preseason lightly,” stated Leinart. “I don’t think you ever do. I’m going in knowing I’m not going to play a whole lot, but I want to take advantage of those opportunities.” August 23 at Tennessee is Arizona’s next football gambling preseason matchup.
