Packers Spotlight
The Green Bay Packers carry their 6-game win streak into Glendale, with their most recent win coming against the Washington Football Team in a 24-10 victory. It was also their 6th straight ATS cover. Sure the Cardinals are undefeated, but the Packers are playing just as good of football as their counterparts, winning by an average of 9 points per game during their winning streak. They also have been solid on the road winning 6 of their last 7 road games straight-up.
Cardinals Spotlight
The Arizona Cardinals are riding high with an undefeated 7-0 record, with their most recent victory coming over a lowly Houston Texans squad. They’ve gone a profitable 6-1 ATS during that span. The Cardinals will have some history behind them where they’ve won 3 straight versus the Packers, winning by an average of 13 points per game.
Final Say
The lines been riding in favor of the Cardinals, which is hard to blame them considering the Cardinals are hot, Devante Adams is out, the Cardinals have owned the Packers recently, and they’ve played solid football in October going 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games. Yes, Packers will be missing some offensive playmakers, but they’ve been winning games on the defensive side giving up an average of 18 points per game during their winning streak. They are also at +5 for turnover differential.
The Packers are 7-3 SU in their last 10 games on 6 or less days of rest, the Cardinals are 0-5 SU during that span. Since 2020, the Packers are 10-2 ATS when the total is set at 50 or more points, while the Cardinals are 5-6 ATS during that span. Since 2019, the Packers are 13-7 ATS in their last 20 road games, and 6-2 ATS during that span as underdogs. Since 2019 for the Cardinals, they’ve gone 9-10 ATS at home, and 4-6 ATS during that span as home favorites. I feel much more comfortable snagging the free points with Aaron Rodgers.
Pick: Green Bay Packers +6.5
