Arizona Cardinals fans more concerned about the defense than excited for the offense

Ahead of their latest matchup against the New York Giants, the Arizona Cardinals find themselves installed as 2.5-point favorites by FanDuel Sportsbook, marking the first occasion this season that they enter a contest with that status. Despite this newly favored position, recent polling data indicates that supporter confidence regarding the trajectory of the franchise has slipped downward, with wins remaining the sole metric capable of fully rallying the fanbase.

Much of this unease stems directly from apprehensions surrounding the team's defensive unit. Hardcore supporters tracking the franchise in the SB Nation Reacts survey pointed to that side of the ball as a primary vulnerability from the outset, leaving followers questioning whether the defense's current performance is more discouraging than initially anticipated prior to kickoff.
