Week 16 games that matter for Cardinals’ 2024 draft status

Here are the games in Week 16 that matter for the Cardinals’ 2024 draft status and the teams Cardinals fans should root for.

The Arizona Cardinals are 3-11 and take on the Chicago Bears in Week 16 on the road. The Bears are four-point home favorites.

Because the Cardinals have been eliminated from postseason contention, most are now looking at what pick they will have in the first round.

They have two — their own and the first-round pick of the Houston Texans, acquired in a draft-day trade this year. Those picks are currently No. 3 and No. 17 overall entering Week 16.
