Packers vs Cardinals prediction

Packers vs Cardinals Best bet: Packers -6.5 (-120)

The Arizona Cardinals haven't won a game since a 27-22 win over the Carolina Panthers back on September 14, and though its four consecutive losses have all been close games, things aren’t looking up heading into Sunday’s game against the Packers.

The Cardinals don’t know who their quarterback will be this week, as Kyler Murray is still questionable with a foot injury, while Jacoby Brissett is coming off a solid performance in relief last week.

While the Green Bay Packers are 3-1-1 on the year, that might undersell how good they’ve looked overall. Green Bay had a few bad minutes against the Cleveland Browns which led to their only loss, and suffered a bizarre 40-40 tie on the road against the Dallas Cowboys.

But this is the same team that has a two-touchdown victory over the Detroit Lions. Along with continued improvement by Jordan Love at quarterback, the Packers have held every opponent except for Dallas to 18 points or less, while Arizona is only averaging 21.7 ppg.

The Cardinals have been keeping games close, but the Packers should be able to outgun them by enough to win by at least a touchdown.

I’m taking Green Bay to cover.

Packers vs Cardinals same-game parlay

The Packers are the clear favorite, as their defense should be able to shut down a Cardinals offense that’s averaging just 21.7 ppg and is dealing with a series of injuries.

Romeo Doubs is an excellent option as a TD scorer for our SGP, as opponents are throwing for 246 yards per game against Arizona.

Our big-ticket SGP: Doubs to have a day

Doubs has gone for 55+ yards in each of his last two games, and is getting more looks than ever in the Green Bay offense over that span.

  • Under 44.5
  • Romeo Doubs anytime TD
  • Romeo Doubs Over 49.5 receiving yards

Packers vs Cardinals game predictions

Packers vs Cardinals moneyline prediction

The Cardinals have lost four straight and are dealing with a series of injuries. The Packers should have little trouble picking up a road win.

Packers vs Cardinals spread prediction

The Packers are the far better team, and with the spread hanging below a full touchdown, I’m backing Green Bay to cover.

Packers vs Cardinals Over/Under prediction

Between a Green Bay defense that has held four of its five opponents to 18 points or less and a mediocre Arizona offense, the Under is the better play in this game.

He graduated from Syracuse University with degrees in Magazine Journalism and Political Science in 2003, and has covered major gambling events like the World Series of Poker in his career. Since joining Covers in 2022, Ed has offered his sports betting analysis primarily on MLB, NFL, college football, and college basketball games, but is willing to take on any sport.

His betting strategy focuses more on finding line value based on deviations from the market rather than traditional handicapping, primarily shopping between DraftKings, FanDuel, and Fanatics in his home state of Connecticut, though he’s not afraid to do deep game analysis to find profitable bets at any book.

Outside of gambling, Ed is an avid curler who competes in mixed doubles on the World Curling Tour and runs a popular curling YouTube channel, Chess on Ice. That experience has come in handy during the Olympics, when he has proven to be a successful curling bettor as well. 

Ed's advice to new bettors is to always open multiple sportsbook accounts and check the odds at each before placing any bet. Successful sports betting is about consistently beating the closing line value, which requires finding spots where one book is offering odds far better than the rest of the market and jumping on those opportunities.
