Pre-Game:
This should be a great NFC playoff battle. The Packers and Cardinals faced off against each other last week in Arizona, where Green Bay won 33-7. Although the Packers easily defeated the Cardinals, Arizona did not play most of their starters for most of the game. This Week 17 game will have the same format in the first round of the playoffs, Green Bay will be traveling back to Arizona. I am a little surprised to see the point spread as low as it is at the top online betting sites. I suppose it’s always tough to beat a team twice in a row, let alone in back-to-back weeks. We will see if Green Bay has what it takes to do so.
Green Bay Packers:
The Packers are definitely one of the hotter football teams entering the postseason. They have won 7 or their last eight games, their defense has stepped it up a notch and you can see the statistics above, and Green Bay’s offensive line has been doing a much better job protecting Aaron Rogers the second half of the season. Their will be lots of pressure on Rogers to see how he handles his first playoff game, and we all will be watching.
Arizona Cardinals:
The Cardinals have had an up and down year, for the most part inconsistent. Arizona beat some great teams easily and got crushed by some very weak teams throughout this year. They won their division with a 10-6 record, which just shows how bad their division really was. However, Kurt Warner has won a Super Bowl and almost won another last year. Anything can happen in the playoffs, and Kurt Warner’s leadership and experience might just be enough to beat the Pack.
Green Bay Packers vs Arizona Cardinals Prediction:
Well, here it is, playoff time! Who is going to step up, and who is going to step out? The Packers played the Cardinals last week, and in my opinion Arizona did the right thing by not playing their starters for most of the game. Arizona didn’t give or show Green Bay anything in that game, smart football strategy if you ask me. The Packers are playing red hot football right now, but my only worry is this will be Aaron Rogers’s first playoff game and definitely not Kurt Warner’s first rodeo. Experience plays a huge role in the postseason and we will see what quarterback leads their team to the second round. I predict the Packers to beat the Cardinals and point spread in an offensive showdown.
