3 Bold Predictions: Arizona Cardinals vs. Green Bay Packers – Week 8
By Sion Fawkes
Conner and Edmonds repeat
This time, with over 80 rushing yards apiece. Last week, Chase Edmonds eclipsed the 80-yard-mark against the Texans and James Conner rushed for 64 yards on 10 carries.
They showed themselves capable of becoming a rare dynamic duo to each rush for 1,000 yards this season, and on Thursday, they will move one step closer with at least 80 rushing yards apiece.
Conner has been a revelation over the past two weeks, rushing for 71 yards on 16 carries and again last Sunday for 64 yards on 10 carries. Used mainly for short-yardage work earlier in the season, Conner has since regained the form from his impressive 2018 outing with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Edmonds logged his highest number of carries for the year with 15 against Houston. Against another spotty run defense this week, look for the Cardinals to call his number often in this one. Conner and Edmonds will both rush for over 80 yards, and they will both score at least once.
