At 4PM Arizona time, the NFL is releasing its regular season schedule. Teams already know who their opponents will be, just not which week or at what time. For the Arizona Cardinals, they have a rough road schedule to look at. They play the AFC East and the NFC North, their six NFC West games and then a couple of other games.
We learned back in December after Week 17 whom the Cardinals would play. It took the last games of Week 17 to determine it.
Arizona's home are road opponents are:
Home games:
- Seattle Seahawks
- San Francisco 49ers
- St. Louis Rams
- Chicago Bears
- Detroit Lions
- Buffalo Bills
- Miami Dolphins
Road games:
- Seattle Seahawks
- San Francisco 49ers
- St. Louis Rams
- Green Bay Packers
- Minnesota Vikings
- New England Patriots
- New York Jets
Some time after that, I proposed what I thought would be the ideal schedule for the Cardinals, considering the elements and travelling.
This is what I came up with a while back as to what I hoped the schedule looked like:
- Rams
- At Packers
- At Seahawks
- Dolphins
- Bears
- At Patriots
- At 49ers
- Eagles
- At Jets
- At Vikings
- At Rams
- Bills
- Lions
- Seahawks
- At Falcons
- 49ers
The schedule starts and ends at home, keeps cold weather teams before the winter and a potentially big game in the last week.
Any predictions as to how the schedule looks? As for early starts, I predict five. As for the potential prime time game, I would imagine that a rematch of the Monday Night game against the Bears or just a simple division matchup with the 49ers.
Give it a shot yourself. See if you can't come up with the closest schedule to the real one as you can.
If you get the real one...I don't know. I guess we can come up with something.
