Arizona Cardinals at Atlanta Falcons

This is a tough one because although I think Arizona is clearly the better all around team, the Falcons have been known to explode offensively at home at times and if that happens I don’t know if Drew Stanton can compete with Matt Ryan in a shoot out. Thankfully for Cardinals fans Arizona has a top notch pass defense and I don’t think it will come to that. I think this is yet another close game, but I’ll take the Cards on the road in Atlanta.

New England Patriots at Green Bay Packers

This is hands down the game of the week. These have to be the two current Super Bowl favorites. Aaron Rodgers is having another fantastic season and is the clear top QB in the NFL right now, but the Patriots have been on an absolute tear since losing to the Chiefs on Monday night football. While I HATE the idea of picking against Aaron Rodgers at home when he’s been playing so well, the Pats have just been too good to pick against of late. They obliterated both the Broncos and the Colts and their high powered passing attacks, winning both of those games by 20 points. Until someone proves they can stop them I’m sticking with New England.
