The Arizona Republic: Cardinals predicted to go 4-13 this season

Theo Mackie predicts that Arizona's first win will come against the New York Giants in NFL Week 5, writing: "It’s hard to find many wins on the Cardinals’ brutally difficult road schedule, but this game is an exception. The Cardinals’ trademark strength this season could be their running game, with two new interior offensive linemen and the addition of Jeremiyah Love. The Giants, meanwhile, had the league’s worst run defense last season. It’s a good mix for Arizona."
