It is the time of year when we find predictions and projections. The NFL schedule release was earlier this month, and now there are win-loss projections everywhere.
We have game-by-game projections for the Arizona Cardinals here on Cards Wire.
NFL.com’s Ali Bhanpuri and Tom Blair made predictions for every game with every team. What do they project for the Arizona Cardinals?
One analyst’s predictions for the Arizona Cardinals
Bhanpuri projects the Cardinals will go 3-14 for the second straight year. In his predictions, the Cardinals lose their first nine games of the season. They upset the Los Angeles Rams at home in Week 10, knock off the Washington Commanders at home in Week 12 and then beat the New York Jets at home in Week 15 after the bye.
They go winless on the road.
The question is when he believes the Cardinals move on from Jacoby Brissett if they start out the year 0-9.
Another analyst’s Cardinals predictions
Blair has the Cardinals going 3-14 as well, but it happens in a different way. They start off the year 0-6 but beat the Denver Broncos at home in Week 7. Then, they lost another six games in a row heading into their Week 14 bye. They beat the NEw York Jets at home in Week 15 to stop the losing streak and pick up No. 2, lose two more games and then end the season at home, knocking off the San Francisco 49ers in Week 18.
