The Cardinals will not face anyone coming off a bye and only 1 team coming off Thursday night game

The Arizona Cardinals have a pretty favorable schedule in 2025 in a few ways. They have a seemingly light start to the season and, while they have a rough end of season, they will not have significant rest disadvantages.

In the 2025 season, they will not face any team coming off a bye week.

They will face one team coming off a minibye. That will be in Week 16 when they host the Atlanta Falcons . The Falcons play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday night to open Week 15.

There is one other game where their opponent will have had one more day of rest than they do. In Week 10, when the Cardinals face the Seattle Seahawks on the road, Seattle will have a normal week of rest, but the Cardinals will have one day less because they will have play on Monday night in Week 9.
