Game-by-game predictions for Cardinals’ 2022 season

In these predictions, the Cardinals finish with 11 wins, starting and ending the season strong, even losing games they probably shouldn’t.

The Arizona Cardinals’ 2022 regular-season schedule was released last week and we now know when they will face the opponents we have known for months.

The Cardinals will start the season without receiver DeAndre Hopkins, suspended six games for testing positive for a banned performance-enhancing substance.

It is truly too early to make any real predictions for the season, but the Internet inevitably demands predictions after the schedule is released.

As the Internet demands it, below are my game-by-game predictions for the Cardinals in 2022.

I am optimistic for the season, unlike many. Although perhaps there is more optimism than social media leads us to believe. More than 80% of readers who voted believe the Cardinals will win at least nine games in 2022, which gives them a shot at the postseason. More than 53% believe they will have double-digit wins.

Check out my predictions for each game below.
