What is the story about?

Not much is expected for the Arizona Cardinals in 2026. They are underdogs in every single game this season and are at least a touchdown underdog in their first 11 games.

They have question marks everywhere.

However, in Brett Kollman's game-by-game predictions for all 32 NFL teams, he believes the Cardinals will be a competitive struggling team. He likes the offensive talent, but considers Jacoby Brissett at starter being a bottom-10 QB situation in the league.

"I don't think they are going to be easy to beat, like I don't think they are going to get blown out in many games, but I don't think they are going to win a lot of games," he said.

Cardinals week-by-week projections

Kollman has the Cardinals starting the season on a long losing streak, losing their first 13 games before the bye.

He has them coming out of the bye with a win over the New York Jets but then losing their final 3.

Yes, that means a 1-16 season, setting a franchise record for losses after doing it last season going 3-14.

How competitive will those games be?

Winning one or two games will make for a rough season, but if it means they land a franchise quarterback in 2027, fun seasons could be on the way.
