Green Bay ML

[CHOICE]

Everyone's off the Green Bay bandwagon.. they are playing better lately and are going to walk into Arizona and beat them this Sunday. Arizona is going to miss the Honey Badger and they aren't great at rushing the passer, Rodgers will carve them. Palmer has had a great season, but at the end of the day he is still a fraud. Both teams are looking to send a message for the playoffs and Green Bay is the more battle tested team who excels at this time of the year.

Arizona's beat a couple bottom feeding teams, and barely beat the lowly Niners and the fraudulent Vikings in their last 2 home games. Before that they caught the Bengals having to travel on a short week while they were on a mini slide.. and barely beat them. Arizona is way over valued and GB +175 is the only play here. I don't care if GB can't stop the run.. Johnson is a rookie and it will come down to Rodgers vs Palmer. I'll take that match up any day of the week.

It's going to be reality check time for the Zona slappies/backers this Sunday.

My heart agrees with you, but my mind says no...lol. I probably will end up fading this game. Good write though. Made me think.

Cant wait until the Cardinals poop all over them cheeseheads.

Everything sounds great. Except that they aren't actually playing better. If Carr doesn't stake the Packers to a 14-0 first quarter lead, the Packers almost certainly lose that game. Even with those gifts, Green Bay was extremely fortunate to cover. The Packers stink and their lines are almost always inflated due to how publicly supported they are. This line is down to Cards -4. You're telling me that Arizona is only one point better than Green Bay on a neutral field? I'm sure.

I think it all comes down to fat Lacy, if he can help rodgers with decent runs they have a chance to cover the spread. I might stay away because I dont know how will honey badger's absence affect them. Dude overall improved every area of the defense.
Cards dont have many sacks, but they do pressure QBs often and GB's offensive line is mediocre at best.

Green Bay hasn't been able to put together a full game all season. They put together a half or a quarter and show signs of the offensive juggernaut they used to be. I don't see them winning this game myself the OP does have some valid points however. Honeybadger will surely be missed, but Green Bay looks to be without Sam Shields again against the best WR corps in the NFL IMO. While I do agree with you that A-Rod > Carson Palmer, I can't back a team that hasn't shown me they can play a complete game which is what it would take to beat Arizona @ home (which is a very underrated home-field advantage)

GB +4.5 looks solid to me. The ML isn't big enough to just bet them to win, IMO.

i love when 2 good teams are going at it cause the oddmakers have to over value a side.. leaning GB +5 but this will be a gametime decision. i wanna see what the line does.

[Eddy Munny]

I don't know if I'd call the Vikings fraudulent. They are a decent team.

But anyways, Sam Shields is out again so I don't see the Packers secondary being able to cover the triumvirate of Fitz, Floyd, and Smokey Brown.

If the Packers do cover, it'll almost certainly have to be in shootout fashion, a la the Cards/Bengals game earlier this year on SNF.

I'd call the Giants the worst team in the NFL.

Not this week dude.

maybe not, but i always gotta hope for that. Go Cardinals.

[captrobey]

Got the Over at 49 not going well.

[captrobey]

Overs pretty much done unless they score a TD before half . GB absolutely looks like shit.

[captrobey]

Well Over still alive thanks to that TD .
