BY ADAM GREENE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it time for the streak to end? The NFL\u2019s last undefeated team, the Arizona Cardinals, host the Green Bay Packers in what is, shockingly the best game of the week. What\u2019s shocking about it? It\u2019s happening on Thursday Night Football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn\u2019t what TNF is supposed to be. Sure, they want decent games, but the Sunday Nighter is supposed to be the league\u2019s \u201cbest\u201d game, with the 4:30 p.m. EST Game of the Week in the mix. Monday Night Football is usually a solid third at best. This week, none of them are close to the Thursday Night match up. In fact, only one other game (the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs New Orleans Saints) is between two teams with winning records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will be the 76th<\/sup> meeting between the Packers and Cardinals as they are two of the oldest teams in the league. Their first game was a 3-3 tie back in 1921 and Green Bay leads the all time series 45-26-4. Over the last decade or so, the rivalry has been dominated by Arizona, including two victories in a couple of the best NFC playoff games of all time in 2010 and 2016. Aaron Rodgers is 2-4 against the Cards in his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GREEN BAY PACKERS AT ARIZONA CARDINALS (-6.5, O\/U: 51)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Location:<\/strong> State Farm Stadium, Glendale, Ariz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broadcast:<\/strong> FOX\/NFL Network<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kickoff:<\/strong> Oct. 21, 8:20 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GREEN BAY PACKERS (6-1)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green Bay comes into this game winners of six straight. They delivered a solid curb stomp to the Washington Football Team last week, 24-10. Aaron Rodgers finished 27 of 35 for 274 yards and three touchdowns. The Pack had no run game to speak of, finishing with 57 total yards rushing. Devonte Adams caught six passes for 76 yards and a touchdown, but he might not play Thursday night as both he and Allen Lazard are on the NFL\u2019s Covid-19 list. Green Bay\u2019s defense sacked Taylor Heinicke four times and forced two turnovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ARIZONA<\/strong> CARDINALS (7-0)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only concern anyone had with the Cardinals hosting the Houston Texans last week was the -17.5 point spread. It turns out, no one should have worried. Arizona won 31-5. Kyler Murray kept his MVP pace, completing 20 of 28 passing for 261 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. He was sacked four times. Chase Edmonds had 15 carries for 81 yards and newly acquired Zach Ertz caught three passes for 66 yards and a score. Arizona\u2019s defense sacked Davis Mills twice, forced a fumble and held Houston to just 160 total offensive yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE PICK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cards aren\u2019t going undefeated, but trying to pick their loss is going to cost you money. You have to look at each game individually and with the issues the Pack have at wideout coming in, you have to go with the home team. Though I don\u2019t think they\u2019ll cover. Cardinals 24, Packers 21<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
