Arizona Cardinals Remaining Schedule
By Scott Allen
The San Francisco 49’ers have pretty much sewn up the NFC West division title. No matter what happens Sunday with the Arizona Cardinals game, they have too much of a lead to lose in the the NFL’s final seven weeks. Up five games on the Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks and up six on the St. Louis Rams, it’s almost a foregone conclusion. However, with both Arizona and Seattle only three back of the wild card and with the Cards and Hawks both having one win on the road in the NFC East, showing they can win on the road in a hostile environment, there is still something to play for.
Here is what is left for the Arizona Cardinals this season:
Sun – @ San Francisco
11/27 – @ St. Louis
12/4 – Dallas
12/11 – San Francisco
12/18 – Cleveland
12/24 – @Cincinnati
1/1 – Seattle
After Sunday, only two road games are left for the Cards, one in St. Louis and one in Cincinnati. Three straight home games in December and four out of the last five should go a long way. Even if they miss the playoffs, they still have a legitimate shot at 8-8, which would be an improvement over 2010 and just another stepping stone on the way back to the top of the NFC West.
