According to Colin Cowherd, the Hall of Fame Game between the Cardinals and Panthers was "fantastic" and had some of the best rookie quarterback play he's ever seen in that game. But according to bettors who backed the Cardinals to cover the 1.5 — well, they probably would've preferred a different overall outcome. With all this in mind, preseason is officially underway.
