In the regular season, Arizona Cardinals romped Green Bay Packers 38-8. Now these two teams play against each other in the Division Round of NFL playoffs. For the Birds, this game is first in post-season. Packers played in Washington and won with a big margin. After this battle, Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers and head coach Mike McCarthy said, “that his team is on the way to find winning ways“. Can we believe in these words before the game at Phoenix?
I think Green Bay have nothing new in their playbook. Against Washington, Packers won by their class. And yes, Zona have a turnover in their roster. It’s safety Tyrann Mathieu. He is a great player against the opponents TE’s or slot receivers. In the upcoming game, his duties will be assigned to Deone Bucannon. In the regular season, he has most of the teams’ 90 tackles. Something more interesting we’ll see from Green Bay’s offensive player, Randall Cobb’s variety of rushing plays. But I believe that Arizona’s coach Bruce Arians can handle it from their defensive schemes.
Another key factor, Arizona’s aggressive style defence. In the regular season meeting, Cards made nine sacks to Rodgers. In Saturday’s game, Zona will play without Alex Okafor, but the team has a strong bench with seven front positions. For me, the result of this game is obvious. Arizona will win by a large margin. For example, two possessions (-8.5). And the line is 2.05 with William Hill.
