Jack Del Rio is a fiery coach, like Pete Carroll, and even in preseason he demands a solid effort. Del Rio is 22-17 ATS in August after a 31-10 win at Arizona last week. Derek Carr and Matt McGloin anchor a strong August QB rotation and the young defense impressed, forcing two turnovers as the Cardinals' QBs went just 15-of-40 passing with no TDs and two picks. McGloin threw a pair of first-quarter touchdown passes and RB George Atkinson III scored on runs of 53 and 35 yards. Green Bay is still without WR Jordy Nelson after losing him in last year's preseason, and this week they lost WR Jeff Janis (broken right hand). He caught the 41-yard Hail Mary reception on the final play of regulation to force overtime in a game Green Bay lost 26-20 to the Arizona Cardinals in the playoffs. WR Randall Cobb didn't play last week either (calf injury). The team has had a rough week with Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers facing PED suspensions from the league. Coach Mike McCarthy said history will show how much QB Aaron Rodgers plays as last year in Week 2 he threw five passes for 57 yards in a 24-19 loss to Pittsburgh. Back Oakland.
