Arizona Cardinals vs. Green Bay Packers Game Picks

The Cardinals will have a significant boost as they won't have to face Davante Adams, who's been placed into the COVID-19 list and is unlikely to feature on Thursday. With Aaron Rodgers missing his #1 target, the Packers' offense may suffer a bit to produce big plays. Meanwhile, Arizona has all the ammunition to take advantage of a weakened Green Bay secondary. The Cardinals should cover -6.5.

The 50.5 line looks interesting for an under pick. The Packers have an excellent red zone defense and, as aforementioned, Adams will be out - wide receiver Allen Lazard also won't feature. Hit the 1u in the under 50.5 play.


Arizona Cardinals vs. Green Bay Packers Key Injuries

Only one player is confirmed out for the Cardinals for Thursday's game. Still, his absence might be huge: J.J. Watt has a shoulder injury and won't feature against his fellow Wisconsin alumni Aaron Rodgers on Thursday.

Star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is questionable to play with a hamstring injury. He's been nursing that injury for weeks, so it may just be a prudent move from Arizona.

Davante Adams and Allen Lazard confirmed as out as they're present in the COVID-19 list outside the injury report. No other player has been confirmed as out for the Packers side, although backup tackle Dennis Kelly is doubtful for Thursday's game. Cornerback Kevin King and EDGE Preston Smith are both listed as questionable, but they should be able to feature as well.


Arizona Cardinals vs. Green Bay Packers Head-to-Head

The Cardinals and the Packers have played 75 times in history, with Green Bay leading the series with a big 45-26 lead - there have been four ties between these two teams.

The last clash between the two teams was a 2018 regular-season game where the Cardinals won 20-17 away from home. It was the final game of Mike McCarthy's tenure with the Green Bay Packers. The head coach was fired after that game. It was the Packers' first home loss to the Cardinals since 1949.


Arizona Cardinals vs. Green Bay Packers Prediction

While the Packers have a quarterback good enough to contend against the Cardinals, Adams' absence will be a huge factor as the visitors will have much more difficulty moving the ball over.

With a banged-up offensive line and without Adams quickly creating separation, things will be challenging for the Packers on offense. The Cardinals should win this game.

Prediction: Cardinals win on an effort led by Christian Kirk, who'll have more than five receptions, 90 yards and a touchdown.
