Why This Trend Exists

The Cardinals' struggles after consecutive victories reveal a franchise historically plagued by inconsistency and organizational instability. This pattern stems from Arizona's tendency to overachieve in short bursts before reverting to underlying talent deficiencies that become exposed when opponents adjust their game plans. The desert franchise has cycled through numerous coaching regimes and quarterback situations over the past decade, creating an environment where sustained momentum becomes difficult to maintain. Arizona's geographical isolation and challenging travel schedule compound these issues, as back-to-back wins often coincide with difficult road trips that test the team's depth and conditioning. The franchise's historically weak offensive line play becomes more apparent when opponents have additional film to study, leading to predictable offensive schemes that savvy defensive coordinators can neutralize. Additionally, the Cardinals' roster construction has frequently prioritized skill position players over foundational pieces, creating a house-of-cards effect where early success masks structural weaknesses. Sharp bettors should target Arizona as a fade candidate when they're coming off consecutive victories, particularly when facing divisional opponents or teams with strong defensive coordinators. This trend carries the most weight during the middle portion of the season when opposing coaches have sufficient tape to exploit Arizona's tendencies and the team's early-season optimism begins to wane.
