NFL win total odds 2025: Ravens, Bills, Chiefs, Eagles lead over\/under betting odds<\/a><\/p>\nThe Arizona Republic<\/a>: Cardinals will go 9-8 in 2025 NFL regular season<\/p>\nTheo Mackie has Arizona getting off to a hot start in his game-by-game predictions for the 2025 Arizona Cardinals<\/a>‘ season, with the Cardinals starting the season 5-1 before coming back to Earth when their schedule gets more difficult.<\/p>\nFOX Sports<\/a>: Cardinals predicted to finish with 7-10 record in 2025<\/p>\nEric D. Williams writes: “Arizona\u2019s defense should improve after adding edge rusher Josh Sweat, along with defensive tackles Dalvin Tomlinson and Calais Campbell in free agency. The Cardinals also selected six defensive players in the draft, led by first-round defensive tackle Walter Nolen and Michigan cornerback Will Johnson in the second round. Tight end Trey McBride deservedly got a lucrative new deal this offseason and is a star in the making. However, offensive coordinator Drew Petzing still needs to figure out how to get the most out of quarterback Kyler Murray and second-year pro Marvin Harrison Jr. With James Conner turning 30 this year, there are concerns about how well the physical running back will hold up.”<\/p>\n
NFL prime-time schedule game rankings: Kansas City Chiefs, Dallas Cowboys top 2025 list<\/a><\/p>\nUSA TODAY Sports<\/a>: Cardinals picked to go 9-8 in 2025 NFL season<\/p>\nAyrton Ostly writes: “Arizona faces teams from the AFC South and NFC South in addition to its NFC West slate of games. That works in their favor as those two divisions combined for just two 10-win teams in 2024 (Houston and Tampa Bay). They’ll also face the Cowboys, Bengals<\/a> and Packers. Road matchups against the Bengals, Buccaneers and Texans could be tough but the path is there for the team to finish above .500 for just the second time in the last decade. We reckon an even 3-3 split in divisional games will be similarly balanced by their non-division slate. A key win at home against the Falcons or Packers makes the difference for the team to get to 9-8.”<\/p>\nSporting News<\/a>: Cardinals picked to go 9-8 in NFL regular season<\/p>\nTeddy Ricketson writes: “Arizona feels like it is in for a solid season. The Cardinals have good pieces on both sides of the ball, and it should look like a more competitive football team this year. Arizona certainly has a chance to win the NFC West and, at the very least, shouldn’t be assumed to finish last as it has in recent seasons. The question becomes whether they are just going to win the games they should, or can they finally knock off some better opponents and pick up those extra wins that help them sneak into the playoffs. It feels like Arizona is really close to a bigger breakthrough, but it might not happen this year.”<\/p>\n
NFL strength of schedule rankings 2025: Where do Eagles, Chiefs, Cardinals, others rank?<\/a><\/p>\nSports Illustrated<\/a>: Cardinals projected to have a 10-7 record this season<\/p>\nGilberto Manzano writes: “The Cardinals faded fast after a 6\u20134 start last season. Maybe they\u2019ll finish better this season with the influx of talent the defense gained this offseason, including the splash signing of Josh Sweat and draft selections of Walter Nolen and Will Johnson. The Cardinals have a favorable early schedule, starting at New Orleans before a home meeting with Carolina.”<\/p>\n
Bleacher Report<\/a>: Cardinals will finish 2025 season with 10-7 record<\/p>\nMoe Moton writes: “The offensive line has to perform well for the Cardinals to reach double-digit wins. Right now, that unit is a question mark, with a few average interior linemen between Jonah Williams, who’s coming off an injury-shortened season, and ascending left tackle Paris Johnson Jr. Nonetheless, Murray’s willingness to make more plays with his legs could offset potential lapses in pass protection.”<\/p>\n

Weeks 16 (vs. Atlanta) and 17 (at Cincinnati) could prove to be an important stint in terms of Arizona’s win total.”<\/p>\n
