Cardinals @ Packers

Who will WIN this matchup?

Arizona Cardinals (2-9)

@ Green Bay Packers (4-6)

 

Current odds:

Arizona Cardinals: (+600)

Green Bay Packers: (-900)

 

•  The line for the game is Green Bay by 13.5 points.

•  Rookie Josh Rosen’s growing pains continued on Sunday, as he threw for his fewest yards (105) in a start while tossing an interception for the 10th time in his last six outings. Rosen, who was the 10th overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft, fired a touchdown pass to Larry Fitzgerald for the fifth time in five games before the Chargers scored 45 straight points to send Arizona to its third straight loss. Fitzgerald has scored six times in five career encounters versus the Packers (including one postseason game) and resides one touchdown shy of Antonio Gates (116) for the most among active players and sixth place all-time. While those numbers are favorable, the Cardinals rank last in the NFL in total offense (232.5), passing yards (155.2), rushing yards (77.3) and points (14.1).

•  Green Bay essentially has failed to play after halftime in each of its last two games, mustering just one field goal by Mason Crosby in a 27-24 setback versus Seattle on Nov. 15 and a 24-17 loss at Minnesota on Sunday night. “We’ve just been a one-half team this year,” the 34-year-old Rodgers said. “We haven’t put it together for four quarters. We’ve had a couple stretches where we had back-to-back good quarters in the first or second half and haven’t done it in the other two. So it’s execution; it’s the little details.” The little details include a 23.1 percent conversion rate on third down, seven sacks allowed and just eight first downs recorded in the second half. Tight end Jimmy Graham, who has been hampered by a broken thumb, has been limited to just four catches for 61 yards over his last three games.

•  The Cardinals have won the last two encounters with the Packers overall, but have lost nine in a row at Green Bay (playoffs included).
