3 Bold Predictions: Arizona Cardinals vs. Green Bay Packers – Week 8
By Sion Fawkes
Cardinals and Packers threaten 100 total points
The two teams combined for 96 points in the 2009 wild-card playoff game the Cardinals took in overtime, winning 51-45. That game featured a Hall of Famer at quarterback in Kurt Warner against a future three-time NFL MVP in Aaron Rodgers.
Fast-forward to 2021, and the Packers still have a future Hall of Famer under center in Rodgers, who continues to play at a high level. Arizona has a legitimate MVP contender in their starting quarterback spot in Kyler Murray.
Even without Davante Adams, the Packers will still threaten to ignite the Cardinals’ defense, despite Arizona giving up just 29 points since Week 5.
Look for both offenses to score at least 40 points in this one, with both teams threatening to go over the 100-point threshold.
