Arizona Cardinals Chances to Win vs. Detroit Lions
The Cardinals have a 33.64% chance to beat the Lions. Their chances are calculated using implied probability based on odds from DraftKings. Here is how it is calculated for each team using +185 odds for the Cards and -225 odds for the Lions:
Cardinals chances: 100 ÷ (185 + 100) * 100 = 35.09%
Lions chances: 225 ÷ (225 + 100) * 100 = 69.23%
However, the above percentages add up to 104.32%. 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 104.32.
Cardinals chances (after vig): 35.09 ÷ 104.32 = 33.64%
Lions chances (after vig): 69.23 ÷ 104.32 = 66.36%
Note that both of the final team chances above finally equal 100%. Hence, the 33.64% chance to win for the Cardinals.
How Arizona Wins vs. Detroit
The Cardinals will need to be at the top of their game to beat the Lions, who made the NFC Championship Game last year and were very close to making the Super Bowl. Winning this game will hinge on Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray's play early in the season.
