This year, the Arizona Cardinals face an interesting schedule. How will they do in Kyler Murray’s sophomore campaign?

The Arizona Cardinals feel like one of those teams that could make a major jump next season. The big problem here is the team plays in the NFC West. It might be the best division in all of football, and the Cardinals on paper look like the clear-cut last place team. The Cards could go 8-8, and still be the worst team in the division.

The schedule doesn’t fall in their favor, with six games against their own division. However, they do face the AFC East and NFC East for the rest of their schedule, two of the weakest divisions in the entire league. It could provide the right situation to build confidence for themselves overall. So, how will their schedule fall out?

The Cardinals had one of those days here where things don’t seem to go right. Murray fumbled on a sack that he should have thrown away. Chase Edmunds tripped over his own feet before taking off for a big run. Byron Murphy Jr. dropped an interception. It was just a bad day.

Final

Washington Redskins

Arizona Cardinals

It becomes clear that the Cardinals are a team good enough to beat up on the little guy, and struggles with the big matchups. Seems obvious, right? Well, they take it to another level. They are just so talented, that an offense surrounding Dwayne Haskins has no shot.

Final

Detroit Lions

20

Arizona Cardinals

27

The start of last year’s downfall for the Detroit Lions was when they tied the Cardinals in Week 1. Sure, they won two games after that, but that was only to eventually hit them like a ton of bricks. The Cardinals win the game on a surprisingly balanced offensive attack, with Kenyan Drake rushing for over 100 yards.

Final

Arizona Cardinals

Carolina Panthers

15

We see the Carolina Panthers being a pretty terrible team, even though we like Teddy Bridgewater overall. Matt Rhule is a good coach, but this roster just has too much turnover, and the offseason was already spun on its head by the COVID-19 pandemic. Losing Cam Newton and Luke Kuechly is too much at once, and they are going to limp through the season.

The NFC West is going to be a wild division and the Seattle Seahawks came inches short of winning it last season. What can the Seahawks do for an encore? Let’s go game-by-game and take a peek at Seattle’s regular-season schedule.

Weeks 1-4

Final

Seattle Seahawks

33

Atlanta Falcons

25

Russell Wilson and Matt Ryan are set for a shootout in Atlanta, but the difference in this game is on the defensive side of the ball. Seattle’s defense will make a few more plays than Atlanta’s in the end. Seahawks win a thriller 33-25.

Final

New England Patriots

10

Seattle Seahawks

30

These franchises have played some classics over the years, but New England no longer has Tom Brady under center. Jarrett Stidham simply doesn’t have the weapons to keep up with Russell Wilson here. The Seahawks trounce the Patriots 30-10.

Final

Dallas Cowboys

23

Seattle Seahawks

29

Dallas will be a tough out wherever they play in 2020 since Mike McCarthy figures to get more out of this team than Jason Garrett did. If this game was in Dallas there is a good chance the Cowboys come out on top. Since it’s in Seattle, the Seahawks emerge 29-23 winners.

Final

Seattle Seahawks

36

Miami Dolphins

20

Tua Tagovailoa may have a bright future ahead of him but his rebuilt offensive line will have a tough time containing Seattle’s pass rush. The Dolphins’ defense will also get exposed as Wilson attacks the middle of the field with ease. Seahawks pick up an effortless 36-20 victory.

Is the shine off the apple when it comes to Los Angeles Rams’ head coach Sean McVay? The team followed up a Super Bowl appearance in 2018 with a 9-7 finish and failed to qualify for the playoffs this past season. But that was then and this is now, as in predicting every game on the 2020 campaign for a team that has lost a lot of talent this offseason.

Weeks 1-4

Final

Dallas Cowboys

31

Los Angeles Rams

24

For the first time since the 2018 NFC Divisional Playoffs, the Rams welcome the Dallas Cowboys to the City of Angeles. Of course, a year ago at AT&T Stadium (Week 15), Jared Goff and company were humbled by a 44-21 score. Is the Los Angeles’ secondary prepared to deal with Dallas’ potent passing attack?

Final

Los Angeles Rams

23

Philadelphia Eagles

24

For the third time in four years, the Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles will renew acquaintances. But for the 1st time since 2014, the former will head to the City of Brotherly Love and will look to snap a six-game losing streak in this series that dates back to 2005. But Sean McVay’s club will come up short once again.

Final

Los Angeles Rams

21

Buffalo Bills

23

The Rams head cross country to Orchard Park for the first time since 2012 as this interconference series is renewed for just the 13th time When last these teams met, the Bills made themselves at home in Los Angeles and rolled to a 30-19 triumph. The venue will be different but the Rams will come up short in this series once again.

Final

New York Giants

19

Los Angeles Rams

24

The New York Giants invade Los Angeles while the Rams host Big Blue for the first time since 2016 when the setting was London, England. When last these teams met, Sean McVay’s club went into MetLife Stadium in 2017 and handed the Giants a humbling 51-17 setback. New York’s defense will have very few answers in this tilt.

The San Francisco 49ers went 13-3 on their way to the Super Bowl in 2019, but what can they do for an encore this season?

The NFL is a league where teams can go from worst-to-first in the blink of an eye, and the 2019 San Francisco 49ers were a great example of that. After going 4-12 in 2018, San Francisco went all the way to the Super Bowl, coming within 10 minutes of claiming the franchise’s sixth championship.

What can the 49ers do for an encore? Let’s take a game-by-game look at San Francisco’s schedule to see how the 49ers might do this season.

Weeks 1-4

Final

Arizona Cardinals

20

San Francisco 49ers

27

The Cardinals are getting better quickly, but scoring a road win in San Francisco is a bit much at this point. The 49ers take care of business, winning 27-20 over Arizona at home.

Final

San Francisco 49ers

31

New York Jets

14

The Jets are improving but they still have a ways to go to come close to competing with the Niners. The flight east doesn’t bother San Francisco at all in a 31-14 victory.

Final

San Francisco 49ers

35

New York Giants

10

The 49ers consider MetLife Stadium their home away from home this season, winning both contests in East Rutherford with relative ease. The rebuilding Giants don’t have a chance of staying competitive in this game.

Final

Philadelphia Eagles

21

San Francisco 49ers

27

The Eagles are a tougher out than originally anticipated, but the 49ers are simply a better overall team. Add in the home-field advantage and it is clear that San Francisco will come out on top in a 27-21 victory.

The Carolina Panthers are ushering in a new era with Matt Rhule and Teddy Bridgewater. How many wins will they get from the 2020 NFL schedule?

A year ago, the Carolina Panthers dropped their first two games with a hobbled Cam Newton behind center. Then it was Kyle Allen to the rescue and the team won five of its next six games. But it would not end well for Ron Rivera, dismissed with four weeks to go. New head coach and first-time NFL sideline leader Matt Rhule inherits an eight-game losing streak and a 5-11 club. So what about this year’s slate of contests?

Weeks 1-4

Final

Las Vegas Raiders

31

Carolina Panthers

20

The Silver and Black make their first appearance in Charlotte since 2012 as these inner conference foes renew acquaintances for just the seventh time. The last time these clubs clashed four years ago, the Raiders came away with a 35-32 win at Oakland. Look for Derek Carr, Josh Jacobs and Jon Gruden’s offense to have its way.

Final

Carolina Panthers

19

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

34

In truth, the Panthers did defeat the Buccaneers on a road this past season. But the game was in London, England, as Carolina came away with a 37-26 victory in Week 6. But that was a contest in which then-Bucs’ quarterback James Winston was extremely careless with the football. That won’t be the case with veteran Tom Brady.

Final

Carolina Panthers

19

Los Angeles Chargers

27

Matt Rhule’s team heads west takes on the Chargers as these interconference foes collide for only the seventh time in a series that dates back to 1997 when the Bolts still r4esided in San Diego. It will be interesting to see if Anthony Lynn’s new quarterback is rookie Justin Herbert. In any case, the Chargers have too much talent.

Final

Arizona Cardinals

20

Carolina Panthers

19

The Panthers host the Cardinals for the first time since 2016 so the team will get a first-hand look at Arizona second-year quarterback Kyler Murray. Of course, former Baylor head coach/turned Panthers’ sideline leader Matt Rhule knows a little something about the 2018 Heisman Trophy winner. But not enough to stop the Cards.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are poised to be one of the NFL’s most exciting teams, but how many wins will they earn in 2020?

There may not be a buzzier team in football right now than the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The additions of Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski have set Tampa Bay up to be one of the NFL’s most exciting teams this season.

The Buccaneers haven’t been to the playoffs since 2007, but will they win enough games to snap that drought this season? Let’s take a game-by-game look at Tampa Bay’s schedule to answer that question.

Weeks 1-4

Final

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

24

New Orleans Saints

28

This contest in the Superdome will play a huge role in the NFC South race, but it goes in favor of the home team. Brady already has to face the haters saying he is just cashing a check in Tampa Bay, and nothing will fill him with more fire than starting 0-1. Meanwhile, Drew Brees splits the season series with Tom Brady as the Saints win 28-24.

Final

Carolina Panthers

7

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

24

The Panthers are the division’s worst team and shouldn’t be much trouble for Tampa Bay. Brady has a solid day through the air as the Buccaneers pick up a 24-7 win.

Final

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

30

Denver Broncos

24

Tom Brady’s first trip to Denver since 2017 turns into a thriller as the young Broncos put up a tremendous fight. Tampa Bay survives thanks to some veteran savvy from Brady, who leads a late clock-killing drive to stall a Denver comeback.

Final

Los Angeles Chargers

14

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

28

Brady chose to sign with Tampa Bay instead of the Chargers this offseason and justifies it with a 28-14 win here. Los Angeles isn’t a bad team but they are clearly a quarterback away from being a true contender.

The New Orleans Saints are one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl in 2020, but what will their regular-season record be?

The NFC was a beast in 2019, but few teams were more difficult to beat than the New Orleans Saints. Their 13-3 record was tied for the best in the conference but the Saints ended up as the no. 3 seed on tiebreakers, losing in the Wild Card round to the Minnesota Vikings.

What will New Orleans do for an encore in 2020 as they look to make the Super Bowl for the first time since 2009? Let’s take a game-by-game look at the Saints’ 2020 schedule.

Weeks 1-5

Final

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

24

New Orleans Saints

28

The matchups between Drew Brees and Tom Brady figure to be thrillers, with this one going down to the wire. The Saints make just enough plays to topple the Buccaneers, winning 28-24.

Final

New Orleans Saints

28

Las Vegas Raiders

20

The Saints come marching into Las Vegas and leave with a 28-20 victory over the Raiders. Brees continues his mastery of the AFC West by tossing three touchdown passes to lead New Orleans to a big win in Sin City.

Final

Green Bay Packers

31

New Orleans Saints

35

This is the first of two huge contests with playoff stakes to take place in New Orleans this season. Brees outguns Aaron Rodgers as the Saints topple the Packers 35-31.

Final

New Orleans Saints

34

Detroit Lions

13

This is a massive mismatch in terms of talent and it plays out that way at Ford Field. New Orleans controls the clock from the jump and dominates Detroit in a 34-13 blowout.

Final

Los Angeles Chargers

17

New Orleans Saints

31

The Chargers’ roster is more talented than people give it credit for, but presumed starter Tyrod Taylor is ill-equipped to win a shootout with Brees. The Saints pick up a big win over the organization that originally drafted Brees back in 2001.

The Detroit Lions schedule has some winnable games for Matt Patricia’s team that looks to climb out of the NFC North basement.

In his second season in the Motor City, Lions’ head coach Matt Patricia and the team was 2-0-1 in its first three contests. Then for numerous reasons, including the loss of veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford down the stretch, the clubs went 1-12 the rest of the way and closed the year with nine consecutive losses. Patricia owns a 9-22-1 record during his brief stay with the club. So what will that mark look like after the 2020 season?

Weeks 1-4

Final

Chicago Bears

18

Detroit Lions

21

Last season, the rival Chicago Bears swept the Lions for the second consecutive year. That included a 24-20 Thanksgiving Day loss at Ford Field this past year. Perhaps the big question is whether Detroit’s defense will be dealing with Mitch Trubisky or Nick Foles. In any case, Matt Patricia’s team will wind up getting the job done.

Final

Detroit Lions

23

Green Bay Packers

35

It was arguably the most frustrating loss of the Lions’ latest forgettable season. On a Monday night at Lambeau Field, the club opened up an early double-digit lead but watched the Packers rally for a 23-22 win. Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers has amassed some big numbers in this series and this meeting will be no different.

Final

Detroit Lions

28

Arizona Cardinals

36

Last season on opening weekend at Arizona, the Lions squandered a 24-6 fourth-quarter advantage and settle for a 27-all tie vs. the Cardinals. It will be interesting to see how the team handles Kyler Murray in his second NFL season. You can expect both teams to put their share of points on the board and Detroit to come up short.

Final

New Orleans Saints

33

Detroit Lions

20

It will be the fifth meeting in seven seasons between the clubs and the first at Detroit since 2014. But the last time that the Lions and Saints clashed, New Orleans came away with a 52-38 home win three years ago. Drew Brees will be taking aim at a new-look Lions’ secondary and he and wideout Michael Thomas will have big games.

The Chicago Bears were a disappointing team in 2019, but are they poised for a rebound during the 2020 NFL season?

Things can change fast in the NFL, and the Chicago Bears are living proof of that. After going 12-4 in 2018 the Bears slumped last season to an 8-8 record, finishing in third place in the ultra-competitive NFC North. Are the Bears poised for a big rebound in 2020? Let’s go game-by-game to predict the fate of the 2020 Bears.

Weeks 1-4

Final

Detroit Lions

10

Chicago Bears

17

The Bears blew out the Lions twice last season, but this matchup is considerably closer. A few big defensive stands make the difference as Chicago picks up another win over Detroit.

Final

New York Giants

7

Chicago Bears

27

The Giants are still rebuilding and their offensive line is still shaky. That is a recipe for disaster against the Bears’ pass rush, who harass Daniel Jones all day in a 27-7 rout.

Final

Chicago Bears

17

Atlanta Falcons

28

This is another game the Bears were expecting to win but it doesn’t go their way. Matt Ryan and Julio Jones have their way against Chicago’s secondary, connecting for a pair of touchdowns in the win.

Final

Indianapolis Colts

20

Chicago Bears

24

This contest is a sneaky good matchup between two underrated teams but Chicago’s home-field advantage is the difference in the end. Indianapolis’ questionable secondary gets exposed by a few big plays out of the Bears’ passing game.

The Green Bay Packers schedule is out but can Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Jones and the Pack replicate last year’s 13-3 record in a tough NFC North?

The 2019 season was a strong one for the Green Bay Packers, who won the NFC North for the first time since 2016. Green Bay went 13-3 and advanced all the way to the NFC Championship Game before falling to the San Francisco 49ers.

What can the Packers do for an encore? Let’s take a look at Green Bay’s schedule and make game-by-game predictions for the Packers in 2020.

Weeks 1-4

Final

Green Bay Packers

31

Minnesota Vikings

21

This game is an absolute thrill ride as Dalvin Cook and Aaron Jones take over the game in the backfield. At the end of the day, Green Bay’s superior offensive line proves to be the difference in a 31-21 road victory.

Final

Detroit Lions

10

Green Bay Packers

21

The Lions figure to be more competitive than they were in 2019, but Green Bay takes care of business at home. Aaron Rodgers easily takes advantage of the rebuilt Detroit defense to lead the Packers to a 21-10 win.

Final

Green Bay Packers

31

New Orleans Saints

35

This could be the final showdown between Rodgers and Drew Brees in a contest that could go down to the wire. New Orleans’ defense simply won’t be denied here as the Packers come up just short in a shootout.

Final

Atlanta Falcons

20

Green Bay Packers

23

This game will be closer than people think because Atlanta has plenty of talent to keep things close in Lambeau Field. Rodgers outplays Matt Ryan to guide the Packers to another road win.
