Last week, the NFC West Division Champion Arizona Cardinals learned that their chances of a first round bye were gone before kickoff. So coach Ken Whisenhunt chose a cautious approach against the Packers that saw quarterback Kurt Warner play just two series before being replaced. Arizona lost 33-7.

This week in Glendale against those same Green Bay Packers, we'll see if his conservative style last week will pay dividends now that it really counts. The Packers, on the other hand, will look to build on the momentum they created in the regular season finale when their offense put up some...

Last week, the NFC West Division Champion Arizona Cardinals learned that their chances of a first round bye were gone before kickoff. So coach Ken Whisenhunt chose a cautious approach against the Packers that saw quarterback Kurt Warner play just two series before being replaced. Arizona lost 33-7.

This week in Glendale against those same Green Bay Packers, we'll see if his conservative style last week will pay dividends now that it really counts. The Packers, on the other hand, will look to build on the momentum they created in the regular season finale when their offense put up some serious points.

NFL odds makers apparently liked what they saw in the Packers last week as Green Bay is a road favorite in this one. Las Vegas sports-books are thinking that this game will be decided by about a field goal as the line is sitting at, the Packers -3 with the total in the contest set at 48.

Last week, both teams sustained injuries to key players.

For Arizona, wide receiver Anquan Boldin has a sprained left ankle and is not expected to be able to go, but will be a game-time decision. Also, defensive end Calais Campbell has a broken left thumb and cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie a bruised left kneecap. They both were able to practice and should play.

Packers cornerback Charles Woodson left the game before halftime with a shoulder strain. Woodson is listed as probable for Sunday.

It's going to be interesting to see if Arizona can get hot again like they did in last season's post-season when they won an NFC Championship. Green Bay is talented, can run the ball if they need to and can also rely the arm of quarterback Aaron Rodgers. They also, clearly have the better defense.

Take the Packers and give the points.
