Week 13 – at Green Bay Packers

The game some of us feared before the schedule came out.  Not just because this is the Green Bay Packers in Green Bay.  It is because it is the Packers in Green Bay in December.

If there was any game on the schedule you didn’t want to see the Cardinals play in December, this would be the one.  Now, it is still early December, so they may get away without the deep winter freezes you see in late December or January.

Still, it’s Green Bay in December.  Oh, and Aaron Rodgers will be back healthy, did I mention that yet?

The Packers also added Jimmy Graham at tight end.  The Cardinals have never been able to cover him whether it was in New Orleans or Seattle.

On the flip side, there is usually one road game a season that surprises us.  Could this be the one?  Could the Cardinals go up to Lambeau and win.  Possible but not probable.
