On this episode of Locked On Cardinals, Alex Clancy dives deep into the Arizona Cardinals’ projected 2026 NFL schedule, which appears to be among the toughest in the league based on last season’s win-loss records. Alex Clancy breaks down the home and away matchups, shares thoughts on why strength of schedule metrics can be misleading, and highlights games to watch—including the possibility of a Cardinals-Cowboys Thanksgiving matchup. Let’s discuss.
The discussion shifts to realistic expectations for the Cardinals this season, both in terms of wins and individual player performances. Alex Clancy analyzes anticipated contributions from stars like Trey McBride, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Jeremiyah Love, along with what to expect from Jacoby Brissett if he’s starting under center. The episode also tackles the likely challenges posed by opposing defenses, while making the case for why the Cardinals’ offense could still surprise people.
Wrapping up, Alex Clancy provides his early win predictions, establishing a floor and ceiling for the season, and emphasizes that—despite the daunting schedule—the situation might not be as dire as it looks on paper. The episode features practical optimism, in-depth roster analysis, and plenty of insight for Cardinals fans looking ahead to 2026.
