The Packers are entering this game with a 3-2 record overall and they have a 0-1 record in their divisional games too. They are 1-1 in their home games, 2-0 in their road games, and they are also 0-1 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game.

The current betting odds have the Cardinals listed as a 5.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Cardinals haven't looked great in their games this season with their 2-3 record overall, but they looked a lot better last week in their win over the 49ers. Meanwhile, The Packers have looked good in their games this season with their 3-2 record overall, but Jordan Love is only coming off his first win of the season with the team as the starter. He has been dealing with an injury that he picked up in their season opener, but it has been affecting his throws in a negative way. He hasn't been able to get his feet right and even their win over the Rams last week wasn't all that convincing. The Cardinals are coming off a win against the 49ers by 1 point, but they fought back in that game and never gave up. Their defense also looked a lot better after giving up 42 points at home the week before. The Cardinals are still finding their way as a team but the offense has been rolling all season and the defense is starting to look better too. The Packers haven't had a great defense this season as they do give up a lot of points in their games, and the offense has been inconsistent with Love still coming back from that lower body injury. Love hasn't been protecting the ball well in his last 2 games either and that will be a big part of how the Cardinals can win this game. Even if the Cardinals lose here, they have the offense to keep it close and the Packers haven't been blowing out many teams in their wins either. The best way to place a bet here is on the Cardinals to cover the spread in this game.

“We wanted to get it to the fourth quarter and have a chance to win the game, and that’s what we did. Last week was not a good performance by us. They took that some type of way.” - Jonathan Gannon after his team’s win against the 49ers in their last game. 

“I think that drive, when you throw a pick-6, that’s never fun. But to be able to take us down there in the 2-minute drive and get some critical points when points were really tough to come by, I just think that’s what he’s all about. And when you get a bunch of tough-minded guys I think that kind of just manifests itself and it’s contagious.” - Matt LaFleur after his team’s win against the LA Rams in their last game.
