Opinions of Cardinals fans on the team

The survey results suggest that Cardinals fans show a strong loyalty to the team, as evidenced by their ongoing support on Arizona betting apps for the last two years.

Arizona ranked eighth in the survey with an average positive response rate of 24.5% to either statement.

On average, Cardinals fans ranked in between Green Bay Packers supporters (25%) and New York Giants fans (24%).

23% of Cardinals fans said they couldn’t imagine life without supporting their NFL team, and 26% said the team is a vital part of their daily routines.

Bears fans were ranked as the top fan base in the survey, followed by Bills fans in second place.

The 49ers were the only team from the NFC West to make it into the top-10 in the league, as their fans tied for 10th place with supporters of the Chiefs and Broncos.

As the NFL increases its year-round presence, it is inevitable that teams will play a larger role in the lives of fans.

Thursday will see the continuation of the NFL Draft, known as the league’s “second season.” Arizona is in possession of the third overall pick, with Texas Tech’s Tyree Wilson and Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud as the top favorites to be chosen, as per BetMGM Sportsbook Arizona, with both players having +250 odds.
