An Optimist’s View of the 2017 Arizona Cardinals Schedule

Week thirteen features the Cardinals in a rematch with the Rams, this time at home

The Cardinals have lost their last two home games against the Rams. Both were close, but losses nonetheless. In the most recent affair, Arizona turned it over three times as they fell 17-13.

That game was played with Case Keenum as the Rams starting quarterback. This time around, it will almost certainly be Jared Goff. However, he has a steep learning curve, and 2017 could be a long year as he tries to grow into being a good NFL passer.

The Rams are trying to build through the draft to get back to winning. Todd Gurley has to be a factor, which means Goff has to be enough of a threat to make teams account for him. The offense could be an adventure.

The 2017 season could be a long one for the Rams, and there’s no reason to think they’ll be ready to string together wins. Arizona 21 – Los Angeles 12
