The Arizona Cardinals begin the 2022 NFL season this weekend with a game at home against the Kansas City Chiefs. They are hopeful to improve over last season.
In 2021, they went 11-6, made the playoffs for the first time since 2015 but were blown out in the first round by the eventual Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams.
Entering 2022, they lost pass rusher Chandler Jones, receiver Christian Kirk and running back Chase Edmonds, but added receiver Marquise Brown and re-signed many of their key players from last season.
They are confident they can be good again, although there isn’t a ton of optimism for the team.
However, if we look at ESPN’s FPI probability each week for the Cardinals to win their individual games, you will be surprised to see they are expected to be good. Based on the most likely outcome of each game, per the football power index, the Cardinals could win at many as 13 games in the regular season.
Check out each game below.
