Arizona Cardinals: Week 13

The Arizona Cardinals travel to Lambeau Field for a clash with the Packers in Week 13.

The Cardinals have had the Packers number of late, with the previous two meetings going the Cardinals way including a 38-8 drubbing in 2015. It won’t be that big of a score differential this time around, but I’m still betting the Cardinals win this game.

Key factors in this game include David Johnson being back, Sam Bradford at quarterback and Steve Wilks in as head coach replacing Bruce Arians. The same Steve Wilks of the Carolina Panthers who were able to hold off Rodgers and company last season at a last-ditch effort of making the playoffs.

The Cardinals defense comes in from last season as the sixth-best overall. With a few additions during the offseason, they only got better. So long as the Packers don’t have a turnover-riddled game they should be able to keep pace with Arizona.

Prediction: Packers defense gets worn down late and Arizona pulls out the win. Record: 10-4
