Green Bay Packers vs Arizona Cardinals Prediction
I’ll lean toward the Packers. Green Bay’s offense could use a bit of a lift, though. The Packers mustered 323 total yards (197 passing) and 5.6 yards per play against the Rams in their latest win. That said, the Packers posted a tepid 19 first downs and went a miserable 1-of-8 on third-down tries. The defense held LA to 4.9 yards per play and came up with a couple of takeaways, though.
As for Arizona, they posted 358 yards (189 passing) in their latest road win with just 19 first downs and a sketchy 3-of-10 on third-down conversions. The Cardinals’ defense came through with three takeaways and helped push the team to the win. This matchup could go a lot of different ways, but ultimately I think Green Bay takes the cover at home.
