November
Week 8: bye
Can’t ask for a better time for a bye week, a week after returning home after three weeks on the road. Contrary to what some may think, the Cardinals will be a pick’em and not an underdog in Vegas on the bye week.
Week 9: Miami Dolphins
Who will be the Dolphins starting quarterback? Will it be former Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen? Will it be rookie Tua Tagovailoa?
Either way, it should be a fun game with the likely improved Dolphins team. Still, the Cardinals will be anxious to get back on the winning track. Cardinals win 28-20.
Week 10: Buffalo Bills
Here’s another game Cardinals fans should be excited for. Quarterback Josh Allen comes to town. He will come with former Cardinals receiver John Brown.
This one should be close throughout. Some predictions made on this one elsewhere think this could be one of the toughest games of the season for the Cardinals. Look for Bills to come out on top 17-16.
Week 11: @ Seattle Seahawks (Thurs)
Going on the road on a short week here, the NFL does the Cardinals no favors. However they go to a place that they’ve either won or just come up short at the end in four of the past five years.
Last season they went into Seattle and dominated the Seahawks after the Hawks took a 7-0 lead. From there it was all Cardinals in their 27-13 win.
It may not be the blowout everyone wants this year. Seattle will remember the game well. However the Cardinals will come out on top 30-27.
Week 12: @ New England
The last time the Cardinals went to New England in 2012, Kevin Kolb was the quarterback and they came out with a shocking 20-18 win. This time, there will be no Tom Brady at quarterback on the other side.
Actually we are still not sure who the Patriots will run with under center this season, so that makes this one of the tougher games to predict at this time. That won’t stop us from doing so however.
The Cardinals likely fall short in yet another early Sunday game Arizona time. Patriots win 23-19.
