The Arizona Cardinals and Cincinnati Bengals meet up in Week 1 of the 2022 NFL preseason at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET and the game will air on WKRC-TV (CBS-12) in Cincinnati and KPNX (NBC-12) in Arizona. Given that this is the preseason, we'll see plenty of unknown and lesser-known faces on the rosters. To keep track of who you're watching, check out the Cardinals roster and the Bengals roster.
The Bengals are fresh off a Super Bowl appearance, looking to repeat their success from last year. In his first full season, quarterback Joe Burrow led the Bengals to a 10-7 record and an AFC North title. All eyes will be on them to prove that last year wasn't a fluke. The Cardinals started the 2021 campaign 10-2 before an epic collapse caused the NFC West title and earned them a trip to the Wild Card game against eventual Super Bowl champion LA Rams. The Cardinals signed quarterback Kyle Murray to a five-year $230 million contract extension in the off-season, but will he prove worthy of the deal?
The Bengals are a 1.5-point favorite at DraftKings Sportsbook and -120 on the moneyline. The Cardinals are a +100 moneyline underdog. The point total is installed at 34.
