October 1 – San Francisco 49ers

Despite the records, this is still a divisional game in which the Cardinals can give the opposition hope. The Cardinals, heading into this one 3-0 have to be careful of this one. The 49ers will play hard. They almost came out of Arizona with victory last season.

October 8 – @ Philadelphia Eagles

Tough call this game. The Eagles should be improved in 2017. The Cardinals last came to Philly in 2015 on Sunday Night Football and turned out to be victorious on the field but also lost safety Tyrann Mathieu to a torn ACL that evening. Cardinals could have a tough go of it.

October 15 – Tampa Bay

The Cardinals beat Tampa 40-7 last season in Arizona, despite a scoreless first quarter. The Cards defense had arguably their best game of the season. Now after finishing 9-7 last season and just missing the playoffs, the Bucs are looking for more. Is it enough to come out of Arizona with a win?

October 22 – @ Los Angeles Rams (London)

This game will be played at Twickenham Stadium in London. This is the Cardinals first game overseas in England. The Rams played the Giants here last season and lost. Can’t see where much would change here.
