Arizona Cardinals Chances to Win vs. Buffalo Bills
The Cardinals have a 28.20% chance to beat the Bills. Their chances are calculated using implied probability based on odds from DraftKings. Here is how it is calculated for each team using +240 odds for the Cards and -298 odds for the Bills:
Cardinals chances: 100 ÷ (240 + 100) * 100 = 29.41%
Bills chances: 298 ÷ (298 + 100) * 100 = 74.87%
However, the above percentages add up to 104.28%. This is due to the vig, which is the house edge for the sportsbook which allows them to profit off the bet. To remove the vig, we simply divide each team's chance by 104.25.
Cardinals chances (after vig): 29.41 ÷ 104.28 = 28.20%
Bills chances (after vig): 74.87 ÷ 104.28 = 71.80%
Note that both of the final team chances above finally equal 100%. Hence, the 28.20% chance to win for the Cardinals.
How Arizona Wins vs. Buffalo
The Cardinals will have to bring their A-game in order to win this one. The Bills were strong Super Bowl contenders last year, getting knocked off by Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, and are expected to be a contender again this season. The Cardinals, meanwhile, are returning quarterback Kyler Murray who was injured much of last season. Arizona will need a flawless performance from Murray in this one to have a chance.

How Buffalo Wins vs. Arizona
The Bills will need to be themselves in order to win this one. Quarterback Josh Allen is one of the best signal-callers in the league and should be able to put together a great performance in Week 1 in front of his home crowd, even if he lost his top weapon in receiver Stefon Diggs during the offseason. The key to this game will be to play mistake-free football and not allow Arizona to take advantage of any miscues.
