Arizona appears to be the real deal with a 7-0 record, and the Cardinals will face their toughest test of the season so far against Green Bay on Thursday night after routing Houston, 31-5, on Sunday. Kyler Murray was 20 of 28 passing for 261 yards with three touchdowns, he had his first interception since Week 3, and coach Kliff Kingsbury was back on the sideline after leaving COVID-19 protocol. The Texans were held to 160 total yards of offense in a dominant performance by the Cardinals, who have five straight covers. Green Bay improved to 6-1 with a 24-10 win over Washington, which had a 430-304 edge in yards of offense, but they couldn't score inside the red zone. Arizona actually has won the last three meetings, although they haven't met since 2018. Davante Adams is questionable after testing positive for COVID-19, and the Packers defensive coordinator, Joe Barry, also is out. DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) is questionable for Arizona while Murray has a minor right finger injury, but he will play. The Packers are a woeful 10-23 straight-up in their last 33 games vs. elite offensive teams (those averaging 29+ points per game). Green Bay also struggles mightily to win on the road vs. top teams, having gone 5-18 in their last 23 road games vs. teams that outscore opponents by double-digits. Not sure if Zona will cover this large spread, but like them a lot to win the game. Take the Cardinals on the moneyline.
