How do you see the Cardinals doing this year?
I'm having a hard time pinning them down. I think they could be anything this year.
Will Kyler have a Mahomes/Lamar like 2nd season or a Mayfield season? Will Kliff continue to develop as a HC or will he be figured out? Will Vance actually turn out to be a good DC? (No. No he won't)
If we can get a full season out of everyone I like how the team looks. Sadly, I think if you scrape away the surface at positions like OLB and Corner it's not great.
But lets say we get lucky with injuries this is how I see it going.

That would give is a 9-7 record.
There are always games teams lose that they should win on paper at the start of the year. Those are the Jets and Giants this year. I think both teams will be average but the travel and empty stadiums sees a pair of narrow defeats.
I have us beating the Rams twice. I think the Rams will be 8-8 type team but we are just due against them.
