We all know the Arizona Cardinals will not make the postseason. They are 3-10 entering Week 14. They will not play this weekend because they finally have their bye.
However, they have not yet been mathematically eliminated. That could happen this weekend.
The NFLScenarios account on X/Twitter gives two scenarios in which the Cardinals will be eliminated over the weekend.
The Cardinals will be eliminated from playoff contention if:
- The Los Angeles Rams beat the Baltimore Ravens this weekend and The Green Bay Packers defeat the New York Giants, OR
- The Rams beat the Ravens and the Packers tie with the Giants and the Minnesota Vikings either beat or tie the Las Vegas Raiders.
Could the Rams beat the Ravens? Yes, but Baltimore is favored by 7.5 points. They play in Baltimore.
The Packers are also on the road against the 4-8 Giants and probably should win. They are 6.5-point favorites.
The Vikings are on the road against the Raiders and three-point favorites.
