Green Bay vs Arizona Game Preview
Why Green Bay Will Win
Nothing stops.
More on the Green Bay wide receiver issues in a moment, but there are more than enough weapons to keep the O going and it starts with the ground attack.
Arizona might be doing a strong job overall defensively – especially taking the ball away – it’s possible to run on the group. Houston couldn’t do it last week, but Cleveland was fine until Kareem Hunt got hurt in the blowout Cardinal win two weeks ago.
Before that, San Francisco powered up a bit, the Rams were okay, and the Jaguars and Vikings both went off on an Arizona D allowing a league-high five yards per carry.

The Packers allow close to five yards per attempt, and now they get the Arizona ground game that has a nice mix of James Conner, Chase Edmonds, and Kyler Murray each getting their chances to handle the work.

Both teams take the ball away, neither one has a turnover problem, and both teams are explosive enough to come up with several wild mood swings as the game goes on.
Both teams will also try using their ground games early on, and then the quarterbacks will take over.
Murray won’t have to do as much as Rodgers, but he’ll lead the way to a game-winning drive – the running attack will have a lot to do with that, too – to close out a phenomenal game to kickoff the weekend.
