The Cardinals open up the season at home and three of their first four games are at home. While getting off to a good start is imperative in the Steve Wilks era.

They then have quite the little three week stretch heading into their bye week, as they travel to San Francisco, to Minnesota and then have to play Denver on a short week.

Post bye week is no picnic, as the Cardinals will have to go play in Arrowhead in November, then home against the Raiders, will then travel in back-to-back weeks against the Chargers and Packers, then come home for the Lions, before flying back out to Atlanta, coming home for the Rams and then up to Seattle.

The backhalf of the Cardinals schedule is brutal.
