PFM ROAD AHEAD
2026 Arizona Cardinals Strength of Schedule
Arizona owns one of the tougher schedules in the league because Seattle Seahawks, Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs form the hardest part of it. PFM has the schedule No. 1 with an opponent average of 83.1 and 10 games against current top-10 teams. The road is not difficult from start to finish, but the stretch around Seattle Seahawks, Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs leaves little room for an off week.

How PFM Measures Strength of Schedule
Road Ahead averages the current PFM Team Scores of every opponent on the regular-season schedule. Home, away and neutral-site games are tracked for context, but venue does not change the opponent average. PFM is measuring schedule strength, not predicting individual games.
