Arizona Cardinals schedule leaks
By Scott Allen
With under an hour until the official schedule release, here is what we know about the Arizona Cardinals so far
The Arizona Cardinals will open the 2018 season at home against the Washington Redskins if the leaks are correct. The Cardinals opened last season on the road for weeks one and two.
Other leaks known are the Cardinals hosting the Chicago Bears in week three. If that turns out to be correct, that would put the Cardinals at home two of the first three weeks of the season.
Week 13 has the Cardinals visiting the Green Bay Packers. We’ll get to that soon. December in Green Bay though doesn’t sound like much fun.
Week 16 shows that the Cardinals will host the Oakland Raiders. That is on December 23rd, two days before Christmas.
