October

October 4 – Philadelphia Eagles

October 8 (Thurs) – Los Angeles Rams

October 18 – @New England Patriots

October 25 – bye

The biggest item of note here is the Thursday Night Football game against the Rams and the bye at the end of the month.  No doubt the Cardinals will get a divisional Thursday game, so why not it be in a home game against the Rams?

The Cardinals have three games back east against the Patriots, New York Giants, and New York Jets.  The NFL will have to split that up somewhat.  It would seem reasonable to split the Patriots game away from the other two games in New York.

As you will see going forward into the November schedule, the bye will come at the right time here, just after their longest road trip of the season to New England.  This also gives them an earlier by week than they got in week 12 in 2019.
