Mack Wilson newest song “18 Bars” about the team’s schedule:
The 2025 schedule has a brutal end to the season, with four its final six games on the road. The six-game stretch will be against five teams that had an above .500 record last season. However, the franchise will have the benefit of seven home games in its first 11 games against lackluster opponents.

Arizona has the 27th hardest strength of schedule based on opponents winning percentage from last year, which will help the team strive to make the postseason for the first time since 2021. In head coach Jonathan Gannon’s second year, he led his roster to a 8-9 record, doubling the previous two years.
For Gannon’s third year, he has high expectations surrounding him and his team to make a serious push to making the playoffs and potentially winning the NFC West. If Arizona can get off to a stellar start to the season, it could endure the potential rough patches that the tough end of season schedule throws at them.
