Packers vs. Cardinals Prediction, Odds, Spread and Over/Under for NFL Week 8
By Thomas Snodgrass
The Green Bay Packers (6-1) will face the Arizona Cardinals (7-0) at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on Sunday in a highly anticipated matchup between two teams with short odds to win Super Bowl 56.
Arizona is currently +850 to win Super Bowl 56 on WynnBET Sportsbook, while Green Bay’s odds sit at +1000.
The Packers have won six consecutive games after the head-scratching loss they took in Week 1 against the New Orleans Saints. Green Bay defeated the Washington Football team 24-10 in Week 7, with Aaron Rodgers performing well again; completing 27 of 35 passes for 274 yards and three touchdowns.
The undefeated Cardinals continued their run of dominance by defeating the Houston Texans, 31-5. It was an easy day of work for Arizona, as the Texans could only scrounge up 160 yards on offense.

Packers vs. Cardinals Prediction and Pick
Aaron Rodgers should continue his solid play in Week 8, even against this stingy Arizona defense. The Cardinals have not faced the “greatest” quarterbacks in the NFL this season, playing against:
- Ryan Tannehill
- Kirk Cousins
- Trevor Lawrence
- Matt Stafford
- Trey Lance
- Baker Mayfield/Case Keenum
- Davis Mills
Arizona has got to face a mediocre run of quarterbacks in 2021, especially in the last few weeks, which may have its passing defense ranked artificially high.
That will change with Rodgers in town for Week 8 as Green Bay will hand the Cardinals their first loss of the season. Arizona has been in the middle of the pack on rushing defense, allowing 115.7 rushing yards per game. So, the Packers can hurt the Cardinals on the ground with Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon as well.
I’m taking the Packers on the spread at +4 and on the moneyline at +155.
