It is hard to get a gauge on this game. The Cardinals’ defense has been awful a lot of the time and then sometime really good. Green Bay is explosive offensively but is dependent on takeaways and have the most in the league. But the Cardinals take care of the football, so that will be mitigated. The Packers and Cardinals both run the ball well. Expect this to be a somewhat low-scoring, close game.

The pedigree of winning teams in the NFL is having success in close games and being able to stack wins. Can the Cardinals show they can do those Sunday in Green Bay? The last time the Cardinals won two consecutive games was in 2021. Also, the Cardinals were 2-7 in one-score games since Jonathan Gannon took over as head coach in 2023 until defeating the 49ers last week. This matchup has all the makings of being a one-score game and a key component will likely be Trystan Colon as the right guard to replace the injured Will Hernandez. The Cardinals were one of six games in Week 5 that were decided in the final two minutes or overtime. Will it happen again?
