Updated Schedule Predictions as of Oct 19th

[TJ]

HOU - W (Houston shouldnt bother making the trip)
GB - W (Sorry A-Rodg)
@SF - L (This is our first loss. Their defense proved to be able to slow down the offense, and Shanahan wont go easy in a revenge game)
CAR - W (More talent, rebound after a loss)
@SEA - W (If Russ is back, I'd chalk this up as a L)
@CHI - L (Inclimate weather and early start)
LAR - L (McVay isn't losing to Kliff twice in a season)
@DET - W (LOL this team is flat garbage)
IND - W (more talented and at home)
@DAL - L (Toss up, but home team wins this one)
SEA - W (Cards play hard for seeding purposes)

13-4 Better than my earlier 7-10 prediction

 

[PDXChris]

Are we skipping the Green Bay game and we are going 5-6 after a 6-0 start? If that happens, then Kliff needs to be fired. You also forgot the Colts.

 

[CardNots]

One has to wonder why people, ugh never mind

 

[PDXChris]

HOU - W, 50 points scored?
GB - W, We OWN Roger's in big game at home.
@SF - W, most likely starting their 3rd string QB and no Kittles.
CAR - W, blah game
@SEA - W, Geno is not good.
@CHI - W, they'll get worse with more tape on Fields
LAR - L, hard to beat a team 3 times in a year, so Kliff will be conservative
@DET -W, Team is hot garbage
IND - W, Not a good team
@DAL - W, Dax will be hurt again
SEA - L, home field locked up. Kyler sits.

15-2

[JohnnyCakes]

well i guess we all can have our own opinions about how the season will continue but i never expected to read a prediction like the original posters.

15-2

The way the top of the NFC is looking that week-18 game will probably mean something.

Good point and only 1 BYE now for the playoffs top seed. I'll take 16-1 with a lose to the Rams.

 

[BigRedRage]

if we lose to the bears we have problems.

 

[oaken1]

my only concern......

every team kliff has coached...
in every season,.....
has fallen off a cliff in the second half of the season.... both college and pro

that concerns me.... because its the only thing that can beat us.


but, as usual...I will roll with 20-0 until proven otherwise,...well, maybe not "usual" since its usually 19-0.... but ya get the point.

we gonna win them all...every game....and the wins will get stronger and more impressive as the season progresses.

Way too pesimistic.

I see one loss to either the Rams or 49ers.

And one other loss from just not showing up one week.

15-2 is my prediction.

 

[eastcoastDave]

While driving home this evening, was listening to a 5 person sports “round table” talk about who their top 5 teams for making playoffs. Two had the Cardinals at 5, one had us at 3, one had us at 2 and one had us at 1. All had the Rams either 1 or 2. Most had Green Bay, Baltimore, Dallas or Buffalo rated higher than Cardinals. We’ll see.

My prediction for closing record is 14-3. I’m unsure which games we’ll lose, but along the way there will be a game or three where the team or coaches lose focus, incur injuries or simply get beat.

I’m encouraged that the team has suffered injuries but continued to play at a high level. Those players will come back, but others will go down.

This Sunday against the Texans and later against Detroit, I’m hoping we run up big margins so that first teamers, including Kyler, can set out a half or at least a quarter to avoid injury any get others some playing time.

False correlation on the falling off a cliff.

Most college teams play their conference schedule down the stretch.

 

[SissyBoyFloyd]

I only see 3 possible losses if we keep playing like we are:

Packers - maybe, we will have to hold off their usual late rally.

Rams - maybe, if turnovers get the best of us.

Cowboys - at their house, it will be tough. Wish it was last game of the season where we would simply rest our starters.

14-3 would be epic. By the last couple games, we will be worrying about the playoffs. Pray we earn the bye, that will be a big plus for us preparing for our opponent and getting everyone healthy and rested. If we are seeded 1st, we would get to play a wild card team if one of the three won their game vs the other 3 division champions. Possibly a team like the Panthers, Saints, or Vikings. If Rams were a wild card and won, their record would probably require they match up with a divisional winner besides us, for we would get the team with the worst record that won their wild-card round 1 game. At least that is the way I understand the reseeding to work, with them going by each teams record.

At least that is the way I understand the reseeding to work, with them going by each teams record.

I'm pretty sure that in the playoffs all re-seeding is done by a team's seed going into the playoffs and not their record. So, in this hypothetical, if Rams (Seed 5 as top WC team) win their WC game and the other two division winners also win (Seeds 2 & 3), we would play the Rams next.

According to ESPN's power index, the Cards are favored in all the remaining games this year.

Arizona Cardinals favored to win every remaining game on 2021 NFL schedule

The Arizona Cardinals are currently favored to win every game left on their schedule this season. Yes, all 10 of them.

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Has there ever been a season where all four division leaders in a conference all had 1 or fewer losses heading into week 7 like this year?

I don’t know if they’ll be favored @ Dallas if the Cowboys continue to play well. Could be a pick em, but favored IDK

 

[jmt]

Dallas should have lost this week. Zeke and Dax are tough though. I think ‘Boys will lose a few.

 

[Azlen]

ESPN's FPI has them at 50.1% so while technically a favorite, it is more of a pickem. 538 has Dallas as the favorite for that game though, but is the only one it has the Cards as the underdog.

 

[vince56]

20-0. Superbowl Champions.

Keshawn Johnson would still need to see more from the Cardinals to rank them any higher.
