Sure, they represented the NFC in the Super Bowl last year but the magic is gone. The Cards have stumbled into the playoffs and they aren\u2019t healthy. Unfortunately for them, their opponent is.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/handicappers\/\"><strong>LOOKING FOR THE BEST NFL CAPPERS ONLINE?

They won seven of their last eight games to finish the year and their lone loss was that miraculous last-second comeback by the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Packers offensive line, running game and defense has improved every single week and they are now a very dangerous team.<\/p>\n<p>Although they\u2019ll have to go on the road the entire way, this team is capable of winning in different ways. They will be tough to stop.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Storylines: The Cardinals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For a second year in a row, those who <a title=\"bet NFL football\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bet-nfl-football.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">bet NFL football<\/a> watched the Cardinals stumble into the playoffs. They won three of their last six games but their two wins over Detroit and St. Louis were fairly uninspiring.<\/p>\n<p>Throw in a rash of injuries and it\u2019s really simple math: the Cardinals might be running out of gas.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/baff.betonline.com\/aspx\/affiliateGetImage.aspx?ID_SC=2225&amp;ID_I=1912\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Sure, they still have Kurt Warner and Larry Fitzgerald, but they\u2019ll need more than that. They\u2019ll need turnovers and they\u2019ll need the Packers to be off their game. That may be too much to ask.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Matchup<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"NFL betting\" href=\"http:\/\/www.betonnfl.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">NFL betting<\/a> cappers need to be aware how beaten up the Cardinals are. They were already without left tackle Mike Gandy and now will likely be without wideout Anquan Boldin. Cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is questionable with a knee injury and could be limited if he does play. Safety Antrel Rolle is also banged up and is in a similar boat.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a lot for the Cardinals to overcome especially without a top-flight wide receiver and their top cornerback.<\/p>\n<p>The Packers led the NFL in turnover margin, interceptions and run defense. That indicates that not only are they the hotter, healthier team, but they also have the better defense and the better fundamentals.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing the Cardinals have going for them is home field advantage but that won\u2019t be enough.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Bookmaker Reviews\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ussportsbookreviews.com\/sportsbook-reviews\/60-bookmaker-sportsbook-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bookmaker Reviews<\/a> Pick: Packers -1<br \/>\n<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><a title=\"NFL Betting\" href=\"\/nfl\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Before Betting On Football &#8211; Compare the NFL lines on this week\u2019s games and all of the action today!!<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for NFL point spreads for this weeks Packers vs. Cardinals NFC wildcard playoff game?
