Arizona at Green Bay

The Green Bay Packers have a boatload of talent on their roster. They will also wear a target on their back when the curtain comes up this season. That talent will take the field to begin the game, but soon exit, as the Packers have had too many bad injuries to key players last year to put a lot of effort into an exhibition game. Last week most of that talent watched the Cleveland Browns put up 27 points against them in a 10-point loss. To put the effort in perspective, only the New England Patriots scored as many as 27 points against Green Bay all of last season through the Super Bowl and they had 31. It's almost as if the reingning Super Bowl winner wears preseason losses as a badge of honor. The limited offense of the Arizona Cardinals hung 24 on Oakland last week, so look for perception to meet reality here as the Packers are a 6-point favorite with a don't-care attitude. Arizona gets the call.
